Description

More than a dozen previously unreleased tracks plus a host of rarities will be found on the career-spanning Michael Jackson box set, "The Ultimate Collection." Due Nov. 16 via Epic and executive-produced by Jackson, the set features 57 audio tracks spread over four discs plus a DVD with a 1992 concert from Bucharest, Romania, that was originally broadcast on HBO.

Making their debut on "The Ultimate Collection" will be demo recordings of the previously unreleased songs "Scared of the Moon," "Cheater" and "Sunset Driver," plus demos of the No. 10 Billboard Hot 100 hit "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)," the title track to 1991's "Dangerous" and "Shake a Body," an early version of the Jacksons' 1978 No. 3 R&B smash "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)."

Jackson has also dusted off his solo demo of "We Are the World," a No. 1 hit recorded by the all-star gathering USA For Africa as a benefit for African famine relief. In addition, five previously unreleased tracks recorded between 1994 and 2004 can be found on disc four: "Fall Again," "In the Back," "Beautiful Girl," "The Way You Love Me" and "We've Had Enough."

Other rarities include the Diana Ross duet "Ease on Down the Road" from "The Wiz," a song written for the out-of-print "The E.T. Storybook" titled "Someone in the Dark," "We Are Here To Change the World" from the 1986 IMAX 3-D film "Captain Eo," an edit of the Teddy Riley collaboration "Someone Put Your Hand Out" from a Pepsi-sponsored promo cassette and the soundtrack collaborations "Childhood" (from "Free Willy 2") and "On the Line" (from "Get on the Bus").

Rounding out the box will be Jackson's biggest hits, dating back to such Jackson 5 classics as "I Want You Back" and "I'll Be There" through to solo smashes like "Thriller," "Beat It," "The Way You Make Me Feel," "Black or White" and "You Are Not Alone."

As for the DVD, it chronicles a Sept. 19, 1992, show as part of the tour in support of that year's "Dangerous" release. Beyond album tracks like "Jam," "Will You Be There" and "Black or White," the performance includes "Man in the Mirror," "Beat It," "Human Nature," "Smooth Criminal" and a medley of the Jackson 5's "I Want You Back" and "The Love You Save."

Journalist Nelson George has penned liner notes for a 64-page booklet featuring rare photos and a discography.
