Twenty-five years after the phrase 'Who’s Bad' became a generation’s cultural catchphrase, Epic/Legacy Recordings - in collaboration with the Estate of Michael Jackson - will celebrate the legendary album and it's record breaking Bad tour on with the release of a deluxe package 'Bad 25' on September 17th.
The new package, which includes three CDs, two collectible booklets, and the first ever authorized DVD release of a concert from the record breaking Bad tour, is a magnificent 3 CD/1 DVD box set that should be in every true MJ fan's collection when it hits shelves later this year.
It'll also include two extensive booklets with yet unseen photos from the recording sessions, video sets and the concert tour, the original 'Bad' cover art, a two-sided poster and more. A Bad 25 two CD standard edition featuring the original album plus the CD of demos and new remixes will also be made available as will a stand alone edition of the DVD and a picture disc of the original album.
“The era of BAD represented Michael’s creative ‘coming of age’ as a solo artist in charge of every aspect of his career – from recording to touring to endorsements to merchandising,” said John Brance and John McClain, co-executors of the Michael Jackson Estate. “This was the first album on which nearly all of the songs were written by Michael. It was also the first album in history to produce five consecutive #1 singles and it took 2 ½ decades for another artist to match that success.
“It was also the first time Michael would tour as a solo artist - his vision, his decisions on what the show would be. The enormous success of the BAD album and tour was a pivotal moment in Michael’s growth as a composer, performer and producer cementing his role as the King of Pop. We are thrilled to celebrate such an historic era in Michael’s career with this release.”
