You have NEVER forgiven Chris have you?! I don't give him a second thought tbh, but why invite unnecessary controversy to, well... anything MJ related. I still think he has a few bangers. Haven't heard a tune since 2008, mind. Good point. Perhaps controversy can balance controversy and smooth things out? Who knows.

Considering Chris Brown performed Thriller at the 2006 WMA IMO he was a Sony choice, as he is a Sony Music artist, same as Michael. If rumours of disagreements between Sony and the Estate are true, then maybe Sony gave the go ahead for Chris to perform, but then the Estate cancelled it last minute.

Ah! I think this rings a bell!🤩 I visited a few in New Zealand but it was so long ago I can’t remember the names. If I remember correctly box sets cost quite a lot down there? Yeah, it’s favourite of anyone here who loves music! And yeah, unfortunately so. One reason I stopped collecting LPs tbh. I remember in 2013/14, new 1xLPs were $35NZD, now they’re closer to 50/60. Thriller 40, Revolver, Midnights, all are 1LP and they’re $55-$65NZD ($34-$40USD). It’s mental. That new 7CD Guns n Roses boxset is $539NZD ($332USD). JB Hi-Fi (where I took the photo above and where I got the prices above from) do do 20% vinyl sales every so often though, which helps ease it, but yeah sadly it’s not cheap. I remember the Bad 25 deluxe boxset being $60NZD at the time, which was actually a good price. 3CDs+1DVD. You’re not gonna believe this but when I saw your pic I thought “JB HiFi! No, that’s Australia!” Because I’ve bought quite a few things in JB Hifi; Number Ones, The Ultimate Collection, Moonwalker Blu-ray. I should have gone with my initial thought! 😂 But those prices? Absolutely insane! The picture you shared is literally everything I’ve been listening to recently apart from a few others. Queen, Beatles, MJ, Taylor Swift and Guns N Roses. I was obsessed with the Taylor Swift’s Midnights for a few weeks. But those prices? So crazy. And the GNR boxset? Forget about it. Thank gawd for Spotify.

The performance being cancelled is just another fumble. I'm imagining every step of this campaign as someone falling down the stairs, bashing every single part of their body on the way down.

If rumours of disagreements between Sony and the Estate are true, then maybe Sony gave the go ahead for Chris to perform, but then the Estate cancelled it last minute. Branca has a massive messiah complex. I’m sure there’s a few egos at Sony too. Aside from this latest blunder I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact how Branca/Sony could allow for the release of a disc of music that isn’t mastered to industry standards? And to compound this, the disc with the Thriller album is said to be a better master than the Thriller25 disc? Utterly bizarre. The only thing I can think of is they deliberately sabotaged the second disc so that radio or anywhere won’t play anything from it. Like they want these tracks to go under the radar and they want people to deliberately hate the bonus tracks. Now, if or when they release a new album I’m going to guess that the tracks on it will be mixed and mastered properly and there’ll be a proper promo campaign. They’ll do everything in their power to make the “new songs” look good because “they’ve done it!”

Thriller 4k is so awesome that for the first time ever you can see all the other faces in the cinema crystal clearly. I just discovered Bill Bray in the last row. LOL. (It's actually clearer in the video than my screenshot is.)
I discovered him too yesterday! Still didn't watch the whole video short film, but I wanted to see the crowd in the theater. The quality is amazing
