Michael Jackson / Bad 25 track listing revealed for deluxe set

Michael Jackson / Bad 25 / 3CD+DVDThe track listing for Michael Jackson‘s Bad deluxe reissue (Bad 25) has finally been released. The only unknown element of this 3CD+DVD set was over the content of the second audio CD and unfortunately the news isn’t good.

For some reason at least 19 extended remixes/edits/instrumentals from the 1987/8 CD singles and 12-inch records have been totally ignored in favour of three ‘contemporary’ remixes and a bunch of demos, one of which has already appeared on the CD single of I Just Can’t Stop Loving You that was released a few months ago. A few tracks are carried over from the 2001 special edition and we get a rather inessential sounding French version of I Just Can’t Stop Loving You. Just like the bodged Thriller reissue of a few years ago, the ball seems to have been dropped for one of the biggest selling albums of all time!

There is also no indication of whether the album proper will be a remastered version of the original CD release or based on the 2001 reissue where a few tracks were replaced with single edits.

The good news is that the DVD will have 5.1 surround option straight from the multi-tracks and the audio CD of the concert should sound spectacular.

What do you think of this track listing? Would like to hear your views – leave a comment!
