RECORD OF THE WEEK : 
SIGNATURE SERIES 
USA PROMO CD ESK 5400


 
This cd was scheduled to be released in 1993 to promote the Sony Discmans - the idea was to include it in a special box including a discman and a cd from the Sony artists catalogue (on the back sleeve you can notice the writing "Not for individual resale") - but after the cds production started, the promotion plans changed, and the release of the cds withdrawn. Therefore,a few copies are still around...and in a very small quantities. The Michael Jackson "Signature series" cd contains 4 tracks, and includes an unique version of Heal the world with a special Michael speech on his Heal the world foundation's goal,still unreleased on any format. Second track is Todo mi amor eres tu (the spanish version of I just can't stop loving you), 3rd track is a rare remix of Billie Jean called "Four on the floor remix" (later released on some relases of Thriller 25 USA cds) and the fourth and last track is the "Tommy D's main mix" of Wanna be startin'somethin'.

This cd is truly a masterpiece, probably limited to 50/100 copies and certainly one of the most sought-after among all Michael Jackson collectors. 
TRACKLIST :
                        1 - HEAL THE WORLD 
    (INCLUDING A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM MICHAEL)
                        2 - TODO MI AMOR ERES TU

"...What have we done to the world
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying earth, these weeping shores?..."

"...What have we done to the world
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying earth, these weeping shores
Aah, ooh
Aah, ooh
I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are
Although I know we've drifted far..."

THE RECORD OF THE WEEK:
BAD CASSETTE GIFT PACK
UK EPIC 450290 8

This time, the Showroom choice for the "record of the week" post is a cassette. In deed, this is a special "cassette gift pack" released in UK at the end of 1988, in very limited quantities. The pack contains a little 1989 calendar, a notepad, an highlighter and a ballpoint pen. As well as the BAD cassette, of course. This blistered box suddenly disappered from the shops shelves; the highlighter colour is totally random, once I saw the same box with a yellow one inside. The Showroom's copy have a green highlighter.
The box itself has a different catalogue number (450290 8) from the common european releases (450290 4), which is the catalogue number of the cassette inside the box too.
