This item is sold brand new. It will be ordered from our supplier and normally ships in 10 to 20 working daysFilled with previously re-mastered versions of iconic hits and un-released recordings from the King Of Pop, the BAD25 Anniversary Deluxe Edition CDs and DVD will include the following:
CD one¿¿features re-mastered versions of Michael's biggest hits on the original BAD album, including, "Smooth Criminal,"¿¿ "Man In The Mirror," ¿¿Bad,¿¿ ¿¿Another Part of Me,¿¿ ¿¿The Way You Make Me Feel,¿¿ and "Dirty Diana" arranged in the same sequence as they appeared on the original album released 25 years ago. ¿¿Leave Me Alone¿¿ was added to the album as a bonus track following its initial release and has been included on the disc.
¿¿
CD two¿¿offers fans a rare listen to thirteen additional tracks, 6 of which are previously unreleased demo recordings created at Michael¿¿s personal studio built at his then-home on Hayvenhurst Avenue in Encino, California. Also included are all three bonus tracks from the 2001 expanded edition of BAD, the previously un-released French version of Michael performing the classic, ¿¿I Just Can¿¿t Stop Loving You,¿¿ a high¿¿ power version of ¿¿Speed Demon¿¿ remixed by Nero and the brand new remix of ¿¿Bad¿¿ worked on as an electrifying collaboration between Pitbull and Dutch DJ Afrojack.
Recordings included in this package reflect the songs and spirit of Michael Jackson¿¿s artistry during BAD¿¿s recording sessions and have been selected to show the different stages of how Michael¿¿s songwriting and recording genius took shape. Some tracks are so complete that any other artist but Michael Jackson ¿¿ who worked tirelessly to make sure his songs reflected his vision ¿¿ might consider them finished tracks. Others are less complete but offer insight into Michael¿¿s creative process in its various stages. Included is the demo, ¿¿Al Capone,¿¿ an early incarnation of what ultimately became ¿¿Smooth Criminal,¿¿ ¿¿Don¿¿t Be Messin¿¿ Around,¿¿ an example of a more complete demo, and a song initially titled, ¿¿Song Groove.¿¿ That song later became known as ¿¿Abortion Papers¿¿ which according to Michael¿¿s own records, he spent considerable time in weighing how best to thoughtfully address something that was, and remains, a very personal and sensitive issue.
CD three and the DVD¿¿¿¿ A true highlight of the package is the never seen before live concert on DVD and its accompanying music CD of Michael¿¿s legendary July 16, 1988 concert at Wembley Stadium. The concert is not a compilation of performances, but rather one complete show, exactly as Michael performed it for Prince Charles, Princess Diana and the 72,000 fans who were in the audience for that night¿¿s sold out show. This show was one of the seven record-breaking nights played at the venue attended by more than half a million people ¿¿ three times that many people tried to purchase tickets. The DVD was sourced from Michael Jackson¿¿s personal VHS copy of the performance as shown on the JumboTrons during the concert. This footage was only recently unearthed and is the only known copy of the show to exist. The visuals have now been restored and the audio quality enhanced so that fans can share in the excitement of that famous night in 5.1 surround sound taken from the original multitrack recordings made that night.
In addition to the complete Wembley Show, the DVD will also contain ¿¿The Way You Make Me Feel¿¿ from Michael¿¿s July 15th performance at Wembley Stadium. This is the only song not performed on July 16th due to the late start of that night¿¿s show. Also included are the thrilling early performances of ¿¿I Just Can¿¿t Stop Loving You¿¿ and ¿¿Bad¿¿ from the Yokohama Stadium performance in September of 1987 during the first leg of the BAD World Tour.¿¿

This magnificent 3 CD/1 DVD box also includes two extensive booklets with yet unseen photos from the recording sessions, video sets and the concert tour, the original BAD cover art, a two-sided poster and more.
