THE HISTORY OF MICHAEL JACKSON

JAPAN PROMO SAMPLE CD (1991)

EPIC/SONY QY-8P-90094

MJ AIR plane take us today in Japan, with a storm of stunning items to watch among the next 2 weeks.

The first of this selection, is "The Hidstory of Michael Jackson", a promotional only sampler album, released in Japan in 1991; The project of a greatest hits album, infact, was on fire in 1989 with the previewed release of "Decade" (a double lp with some unreleased songs), and was still alive in 1991 with these cds but when "Dangerous" was almost completed, the project changed (obviously). The grestest hits album concept then was reprised in 1995 with the release of "HIStory past present and future Book I" as we all know.

This japanese cd comes with a particular blue velvet digipack case, numbered on front (this copy is #0914); inside the digicase, you can find a booklet picture sleeve insert with several pictures and the cd, of course, which includes 17 tracks, from the Jacksons era, Off the wall, Thriller and Bad. It also includes a medley live (Taken from the album "Jacksons live").

This is truly an amazing cd, very rare, a nice addition to any collection.
