      How can it be possible that best unreleased MJ track ever Hot Street, which was recorded during Thriller sessions, is missing on bonus disc ? Is that some kind of joke ?

        Really disappointing sound quality. What a shame. The music never gets old and I once more realized what a genius Rod Temperton was.

          great song, but terrible mastering

          especialy, previously released songs "Carousel" and "Can't Get Outta The Rain" are terrible.
