Unreleased Michael Jackson tracks discovered in storage unit
Unreleased tapes of Michael Jackson have been discovered in the San Fernando Valley. It is now known from which years the works of the deceased King of Pop originate. The titles of the found songs have also been revealed. The artist did not manage to release them during his lifetime.
American media report that during a search of a warehouse in the San Fernando Valley, unreleased Michael Jackson tapes from the years 1989-1991 were discovered. The recordings come from the period when work was being done on the 'Dangerous' album. This album was full of hits, such as "Jam" and "In the Closet."
The tapes contain 12 unreleased tracks, mostly recorded on cassettes, including "Don't Believe It" and "Truth on Youth," in which Jackson raps with LL Cool J. This material is a true treasure for the artist's fans, though the copyrights are held by the Jackson Estate.
The Estate is a legal entity established after his death to administer and manage his assets. This means that, at least for now, the public release of the music is not possible.
The tapes that excite Michael Jackson fans belonged to music producer Bryan Loren, a friend of his. The discovery has sparked great interest not only in the United States, especially since it involves several songs that, despite much hype, were never released.
Unfortunately, listeners will need to be patient and await a decision from the Jackson Estate. However, it can be assumed that sooner or later the singer's new songs will reach the market. With the right marketing campaign, this could lead to multi-million-pound profits.
Who found Michael Jackson's tapes?
The legacy of the world-renowned star was discovered by a retired police officer from California, Gregg Musgrove. His hobby is searching through storage units and old storages to find valuable items and sell them at online auctions.
When I finally heard it, it was surreal. I kept calling my wife in to make sure I wasn’t losing it — he reported in the "Washington Post."
He added that besides the 12 songs, he found a one-hour interview with Bryan Loren on DAT tapes, in which Loren talks about Michael Jackson's collaboration with rapper LL Cool J.
