I didn't know James Ingram, neither Jeff Porcaro had passed. Many ones involved in Michael's most successful albums are leaving this world. I'm glad Thriller still charting despite of being released almost a half century ago but it's bittersweet without the mastermind behind of such a timeless and iconic album. Michael and Thriller are forever. Jeff died way back in 1992 while James was in 2019. Everything since 2020 certainly drowned all that out as it was easy to forget in light of the pandemic panic, doom and gloom. I don't think Michael dedicated a performance of Human Nature to Jeff who did the drums for the original. IIRC, the news was fairly low key.

My SACD has finally been shipped. That's good. My guys are only receiving mine today as they said they didn't get enough. Will hopefully have next week. The comments on the SH forum suggest the SACD is the real prize of Thriller 40 all of a sudden.

Thriller was released 40 years ago today. If you are going to read just one article about its impact here is a very good one from 10 years ago:

Too many gifs and memes to choose from. I've just had a colossal heart attack. A 4K heart attack in Victory Tour form.

So the documentary seems to be a great one with lots of high quality footage (Victory Tour!) and behind the scenes video/audio. It just sucks it had to be Nelson George who can work with all this.
I don't understand the promotional concept here though. I mean are they going to release this to the public after the T40 campaign is basically over? They did this with the Bad25 documentary too. Shouldn't they have put it on Netflix or something this week to help to boost the album's sales?

We are on the precipice of a Victory Tour release. This feels close.
This is as excited as I've been since the Bad 25 announcement.

There is simply no logic. If there ever was logic, it surely went out the window. At least the first reviews are really good from a fan perspective. Given that This Is It made it to Netflix, I fully expect this to. They might not even bother with a home release.
