Michael Jackson – Bad 25th Anniversary Edition
Like Bob Marley, Michael Jackson recorded many classic albums, which will be re-released countless times. This year is special because it marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the King of Pop’s ‘BAD’ album.
“The era of BAD represented Michael’s creative ‘coming of age’ as a solo artist in charge of every aspect of his career â from recording to touring to endorsements to merchandising. This was the first album on which nearly all of the songs were written by Michael,” stated John Branca and John McClain, Co-Executors of the Estate of Michael Jackson.
Along with the re-release, Spike Lee is also directing a documentary for the album’s anniversary with never before seen footage of the late star, as well as rare interviews and new interviews from those who knew MJ well.
