And Rarities -2cd- -2009-: Michael Jackson Remixes
Michael Jackson: Remixes and Rarities (2009) is more than just a "greatest hits" alternative. It is a testament to an artist who was never satisfied with a standard radio edit. For those looking to go beyond the surface of Billie Jean and Man in the Mirror , this 2-CD set provides the bridge to the more experimental side of the greatest entertainer of all time.
Disc 2 also shines a light on the elaborate mega-mixes that grew highly popular in Europe and Japan during the 1990s. These tracks seamlessly stitch together decades of hits, creating sonic tapestries that prove just how cohesive Jackson's catalog is, regardless of the era.
For the casual fan, it’s a high-energy journey; for the "MJ" completist, it’s an essential archival piece that captures the transition from disco-funk mastery to the New Jack Swing revolution. Disc 1: The Art of the Remix Michael Jackson Remixes And Rarities -2CD- -2009-
