With less than a month remaining until the 25th anniversary special edition version of Michael Jackson’s Bad is released, the folks at Sony Legacy have finally unveiled a track listing for the 3 CD/1 DVD set. In addition to the 11-track original album, there will be a second disc of rarities and unreleased tracks, as well as a 3rd CD containing the first ever officially released MJ live album, taken from a Wembley Stadium show in 1988.
I must admit to being ever so slightly disappointed that only 6 of the tracks featured on the album have never been heard before (make that 5, as “Don’t Be Messin’ Around” was released as a B-side on a CD single earlier this year,) but for completists like me, any unheard Michael is worth checking out. Plus, I’m pretty psyched to hear the live material.
I must ask, though-why no 12″ versions? At the very least, they could have added the extended versions of “Bad” (the 12″ version of that song is amazing,) “The Way You Make Me Feel,” “Smooth Criminal” and “Another Part of Me.” Hell, they could’ve traded the new versions of “Bad” (Afrojack? Pitbull? Come on!!) for those.
Here’s your track listing. You can preorder the Bad deluxe package on Michael Jackson’s website or on Amazon.com. It will be in stores on the 18th of September.
