Though It’s a Good Bop, It’s Better Unreleased or As a B-Side. It Just Doesn’t Fit, In My Opinion, on the “Thriller” Album.

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

I STILL can't believe this song was NOT on Thriller (should have been the 3rd track after, "Baby Be Mine"). I know it's a perfect album...BUT, it easily could've been an even more legendary (almost hard to believe, considering the LP was selling a million copies a week for like 2 months at one point in the early '80s) double LP, featuring ALL of those would-be classics, inc. this one...We ALL KNOW this song would have been a Top 10 hit Pop single in 1983 onward..."Behind The Mask", "Carousel", "Nite Line", "She's Trouble"...oh, it actually hurts to hear/think what could have been. I'm still confused WHY Epic hasn't released a special edition of Thriller, including a disc of the songs that were proposed, recorded, but ultimately held back. UGH! BTW, I think you may have uploaded the best-sounding version of "Hot Street" on KZbin. Thank you...

[@adrianomarchi4031]

AnthonyKZbinFan all of his unreleased track's rights were given by MJ to his children. So they decide when and what release. (I think so, I'm not sure)

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

Adriano Marchi -- You may be right, but, I thought Sony/Epic retained exclusive release rights for any of his unreleased tracks from the vault from 2007 to 2019, or some time period like that. Do those kids really have a say in when that material gets released? I think it may be after that 10 to 15 year time span that the power may revert back to the children and Mrs. Jackson, who is the Executor of his Estate (I think). This may explain why the Cascio tracks didn't get a full release, because they weren't happy w/ how Sony "altered" the raw recordings, and, supposedly, the complete/demo tracks were owned between MJ, The Cascios, and James Porte, so, Sony/Epic has no say. What happens in the next year or so may determine if Our hunches are correct.

I wish he would have put carousel on the album bc that’s literally my favorite song on the anniversary album

Korey Daniels “Carousel” on the 25 anniversary edition is just a snippet though. You can find a full version of the song on iTunes. It’s in “The Ultimate Fan Extras Collection” album.

Can you imagine if they'd taken all of the unreleased, fully produced songs he had back then and released them as their own album (along with We Are the World and a couple of others) back in 1985?

I understand why this song didn’t make Thriller; it had nothing to do with the song itself but more of the direction they wanted the album to go. This doesn’t scream spooky at all. This is more of a party vibe/feel good anthem. Still a great song tho! Unfortunately when you’re signed by a major record label, you have to put out the music they want instead of the music you want! When MJ gained creative control and bought back the rights to all his music/catalog plus some, that’s when they started messin wit him and eventually got rid of him!
