  • Update Regarding Multitracks + Registration

    It's clear that this thread needs some love and attention. A lot of the links have either expired or been miss-labelled. With the amount of tracks there are, this is quite a practice. I have made the decision to lock this thread from further replies and to put out this notice that I will be refreshing this thread with updated links and guidance where needed.

    I will update the thread on multitracks and the first post with any forth coming updates about this in due course. For information - I have also disabled user registrations to do some tidyup. Stay tuned.

A few further items (baseball caps/shirts/pitbull remixes) are available at the above link for the store. I have contacted The Estate again and asked them what the hell is going on. It's clear that the community is NOT happy thus far, and I must say - I do agree with them. This is a monumental anniversary for a legendary album. If as much work has gone into the production of the content as this album cover, then we're in for a bumpy ride. MJ deserves more.

What's Our View?

I could have done something better myself at the age of 12. Most people could. This screams low-paid intern. You look at other releases by other estates such as Prince, or Elton John? They get something wonderful - we get this. It's not on.
