A trove of unreleased Michael Jackson tapes were found in a storage unit deep in the San Fernando Valley. Musgrove’s journey to the tapes began when an associate contacted him about a storage unit he’d recently bought in Van Nuys. The unit once belonged to Bryan Loren, a music producer and singer (whose current whereabouts are unknown, according to Musgrove).

On the tapes are 12 unreleased tracks, music Jackson worked on prior to the Dangerous album, around 1989 to 1991.

Bruhhhhh cool find

Whaaat

@Abyssus

remember when ol boy first died and his estate rushed out to be like "nah, Michael only had like 6 songs in the vault, he didn't really record as much as he said he did"

This is huger than King Tuts Remains being discovered!!!

@KingOfPop

Keep

Can't wait to finally hear them in 2033 when the estate lets them out into the world!

groupbuy? anyone?

Link?

Need them to leak these songs for the culture

Damn that’s an album worth of material don’t give it to Sony

Unfortunately for diehard Jackson fans, it’s likely Musgrove will be one of the few people to ever hear these tapes. He and the attorney he brought on approached the Jackson Estate with their findings earlier this year. The estate, who Musgrove says did their own research into the tapes, declined to purchase the tapes for an unknown reason, but did provide him with an official letter stating that the estate does not claim ownership. They make it clear in the letter, however, that he and anyone else who might purchase these tapes down the line do not own the copyright on the recordings or the compositions, the estate does. Essentially, these tapes can never be released publicly.

huge

Its pretty cool that the jackson estate gave him an official letter that they do not claim ownership and let him keep it, but he can never release it. He would get sued to oblivion.

He can sell it tho which is actually pretty cool they just can't leak the records.

would be really unfortunate then if "somebody stole them" and they leaked

so they saying we arent gonna pay to get them back but no one else can have them either? thats bullshit

Let him rest in piece

Man in black leaking finally would be awesome

That wasn’t a lie. In the 6 months after MJ passed away, they only located two releasable songs.

Those were Blue Gangsta and Xscape. Part of the “Michael” album idea was to release what he was working on up until the point of death, so because they could only find very few recordings, the plan nearly got scrapped. It is what made the 2007 Cascio recordings so worthwhile to them, despite all of the authenticity concerns from day 1.
