This is like something @AudioConsulting would dig up and reveal to us
What happened to our king?
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"
i mean part of that could also be about trying to protect his vault and hunger for too many post death albums from labels and fans
2pac and biggie esates does the same thing and im sure others as well, i get it, dont want the pyramid ransacked and desecrated if you can prevent it
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.
sounds more like they dont it to be sold as an album nor put up for bids
archving them with sound and tape preservers and putting into other music media forms to keep from degrading doesnt sound out of the question
...and perhaps an anonymous internet leak or shared video recording of the contents
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.
ah, so the xscape tracks was basically all they had at the time of "real fully done tracks", or at least what they felt comfortable in releasing
i rather a stingy and over-protective estate than one that willy-nilly w****s out the dead even their backing tracks and demos, tbh
reason why i respect prince n mjs estate and 2pac n bigs - protect what you can legally that isnt in the hands of the labels already and tied up
as long as it isnt lying to all the family members themselves then it's good
ah, so the xscape tracks was basically all they had at the time of "real fully done tracks", or at least what they felt comfortable in releasing
the thing is nobody put a gun to their head and said "put out an album immediately after he died"

Just leak em for free then
I'm trying to find the interview, but I remember seeing a Teddy Riley interview, where he said they recorded a s*** ton of songs for Dangerous but Michael narrowed it down to 14?
Quincy said MJ recorded like 400 songs for Thriller but this is coming from one of his interviews from the past few years, where he was waffling a lot
rip goat no disrespect
