Wtf are you smoking? The guy was raised on a stage watching the greatest in motown create songs Michael was a song writing Genius, majority of the Bad album was written by Michael Jackson, 9-11 songs. Michael released albums every 3 years but in that interval created and experimented with some of the most genre defying music, some leaked online but not the entire vault.

No, it was recorded a week after Thriller.

You are right. It was recorded for the BAD album but it didn't made the cut.

[@featheryfemme]

Sounds a little earlier to me. I thought for a while that this was Thriller era with an uncharacteristically aggressive approach, but revisiting it again, it sounds like very, very early Bad era to me. Like Al Capone kinda period. But his voice didn't change a whole lot between those albums, mostly his singing style, so it's hard to pinpoint it for sure.

[@TheYates100]

Nah it sounds more thriller

[@Itsmy2cent]

This was Bad era though. The writer of this song is Steve Porcaro (wrote human nature). So in reality Steve is genius here and Michael makes it magic. The reason it hasn’t been on anything is Steve owned this song and Dream Away. So nobody could put on anything. BUT he just sold the rights to those songs so soon we may hear the original versions in good quality along with a new reconstruction of the music with polishing the vocals. Dream Away was super ahead of its time. Only thing about Dream Away is it doesn’t have those sweet harmony back vocals we love but, it’s something different and just a straight vocal with a message. All we have heard online is just a “version” of the songs. But soon we will hear them now.

Chicago 1945 was reworked many times to be intended for future albums like (1984) Victory, (1986) Bad, (1995) HIStory, and (2000) for Invincible. Chicago 1945 was supposed to be on Xscape but Steve Porcaro refused a remix and preferred the original version to not be tampered with. This was confirmed by Steve Porcaro himself in a seminar last year, and in June 26, 2014

Sure, but they decided they'd rather have people begging for more than feeling exhausted by the end. Invincible definitely could've lost a few tracks. HIStory and Dangerous are kinda the same… too much to digest at one time. 😋

[@KingLarrY4k34]

​@@crnkmnky dangerous had a good amount tho your right about invincible, history was a double disc album so i think that doesn't count

[@crnkmnky]

@@KingLarrY4k34 According to Wikipedia, each side of a vinyl LP can hold 23-25 minutes of audio. Compact Discs can hold 74-80 minutes. So _Thriller_ was actually a full-length album (42 minutes) by 1982 standards. 🤯 _Bad_ was 44 minutes on vinyl, with a bonus song ("Leave Me Alone") on CD. Every album after that was designed to max out the length of a CD at 77 minutes, which means the vinyl edition is always a double album. _HIStory_ fits on _three_ vinyl LPs (77 minutes of new songs).

[@Loverboy15469]

Because it's a demo, it was supposed to be smooth criminal, it ended up being a demo, guess mj didn't like it, he changed it to smooth criminal, the story he's telling in Chicago 1945 is the same as in smooth criminal, just different lyrics and sound, the smooth criminal official music video actually represents and tells the story of Chicago in 1945, so this can't be a released track, bcz it was changed.

Who's here after the estate bought this song and dream away

[@MJBR_Official]

observation, this song is not from 82, it started to be made at the end of 83, after the release of Thriller, and by the sound, this version appears to be the version worked on in the Bad sessions

[@larrymcdowdell274]

Nope this is the Thriller - Victory Version

[@MJBR_Official]

@@larrymcdowdell274 it's definitely not Thriller, because it didn't even exist in that period, it could even be the version from the Victory sessions, but I think it's the version from the Bad sessions

@@MJBR_Official Its Thriller Era I Ment. The Victory version Was The One That Got Leaked

[@alexkoch3712]

@@MJBR_Official I'm sorry but i'm willing to bet it's most likely 1982-84. You could make the excuse it's both Thriller and Bad era by that though, I guess it comes down to what people want to accept.

​@@alexkoch3712 like I said, it's definitely not 82, the song didn't exist at that time, and it doesn't seem to be from 1983, it's either the version from the Victory sessions or the bad sessions

My fav unreleased MJ song except this isn’t the Thriller era session. This is the recording from 1986.

This feels like the theme song of a cop show ❤❤❤ with genius detectives

[@StrangerInAustralia]

There's a lot of bullshit in the comments, so let's clear a few thing up: This was recorded (along with Dreams Away) a few weeks after Thriller was released. Although, what you hear on this version is NOT how the song was originally composed or structured. The original was a basic instrumental (bass, drum machine and few keyboard lines), while the version in the video has been worked on by Steve Porcarro (who recorded the original with MJ) has been worked on in recent years.
