What's so amazing to me is that Michael and his brothers were so successful at such a young age. They also supported him when he went solo. Don't think for one minute that's not the Jackson 5 singing background on "off the wall and thriller albums" listen!

@darthcaliginous2066 that's not true... there are not many songs left to release.... but for one posthumous album will be enough. in general, we have about 10 songs, that can be released without big problems... other songs are mostly unfinished or have problems with rights....

After the remixes of MJ’s unreleased work on Xscape, I don’t know if I’d exactly trust folks with the task of “fixing the mix,” to be frank. They’d pull some BS. 😬 “Love Never Felt So Good” is the only one that I felt was respectful of MJ’s music. The others were pretty awful, which especially sucks when some of the originals were pretty complete on their own and only needed some cleanup; “Slave to the Rhythm” comes immediately to mind.

[@StgVirus1]

[@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.

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.

​@@nathanheaton2546 Chicago 1945 was never worked on for Thriller. Chicago 1945 was created a week after Thriller was released in December, 1982. 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

​@@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).

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

[@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

People I’m not surprised at hearing unreleased tracks because just from the dangerous album, he had well over at least 100 tracks and had to break it down to the 14 tracks they was on the album and he also gave away the track joy to teddy riley for the first blackstreet album.

[@mrmaxxx94]

this didn't fit thriller however it screams to be on a soundtrack and would have been a hit.

[@numberthr333]

I do not think it is right to call it "Chicago Nights" as the title stands for INVINCIBLE ERA unreleased song, and Chicago 1945 (this audio) is from THRILLER-BAD ERA...

[@philcanselmo9436]

This one is from the thriller ear , the bad re-recorded version is unleaked/unreleased

[@Loverboy15469]

​@@philcanselmo9436no it's from bad era, because it was meant for smooth criminal, it was originally the smooth criminal track, but mj later changed it, why do you think it's called Chicago 1945, the smooth criminal official music video actually represents Chicago in 1945, it's the same story but different sound

They wanted it for Xscape but Steve Porcaro didn't want his song to be remixed

[@jameswalker3611]

@@TheShark94700 fair enough in that case. All the original versions on Xscape are way better than the remix's.

I don't see this as a Thriller track. And this version definitely wasn't done in 82'. This is the between 84-86. You can tell by his vocals. So yea Victory/pre Bad era. It's more Bad sessions than anything.

Unreleased from victory era

[@msoileau83]

Ok so... Steve Porcaro said he got the nickname "yada" because of the sixteenth notes of the song. He said this was post Thriller. I think he's misremembering. For a couple things. In the liner notes for Thriller, they thank Steve "Yada" Porcaro. And listen to those horns. They gotta be Jerry Hey and the Seawind Horns. The synth bass has a different approach that David Paich or Phillinganes so I guess that's Steve P.

[@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.
