Bad: 25th Anniversary (Ogv)

I just love Michael Jackson so much that everytime I see him my heart feels broken with the loss of the most talented performer ever known and the most beautiful person with so much love in him. It was criminal what he had to endure but I truly believe in my heart that Michael was sent to us from God as a Angel and is now back to where he came from. Sorry if that came across too much but I felt that I just had to express my feelings. Now going onto the review of the amazing box set. The leather box set which is beautiful contains material which is so priceless and the dvd concert is awesome. As for the picture quality considering it was from Michael's personal collection it was brilliant and in no way disturbed me at all from watching the most amazing concert I have ever seen. Some reviews say otherwise but in my personal opinion watching this amazing concert on my Samsung new 46inch tv was excellent and the picture quality as I said was in no way distracting at all from enjoying the concert. From the moment you see Michael appear on the stage you are spell bound by his magic that will never ever be beaten, not in my lifetime anyway. The whole concert is just mind blowing with the talent of Michael and his endless energy that keeps going on and on and as for watching his dancing it is just like he is floating on water with his magic feet and has the voice of a angel. The songs just keep flowing with you glued to the screen amazed by what your watching. I cannot say what part I enjoyed most as everything Michael does is amazing. The box set has some lovely booklets to read and the cds are brilliant. Listening to the unreleased songs is just pure pleasure. I havent played the live concert cd yet as feel that it will spoil me watching the concert again but I will play it in time but I'm just feeling at the moment that it spoils it for you watching the concert but that is my opinion. The poster is lovely and to finish off all I can now say is if your a Michael Jackson fan then why on earth have you not got this as you will not be dissapointed and if you are then you need serious help. The price of the set is brilliant so what are you waiting for order right now.

With this 25th anniversary deluxe set of BAD,you do indeed get your money's worth. I understand that there are some strange edits to the album,edits that would mostly bother big MJ fans,but it's still a brilliant album even with these odd cuts,surely that can't be denied. The packaging is fantastic,it looks beautiful with the cool box and nice booklets,the mini poster is great to look at and it all opens up nicely with the discs in slip cases that are nicely done. The bonus cd of mixes and rarities is certainly worth any fan's money and the live cd will no doubt please,the dvd may well be of disappointing quality picture wise,but at least it's a brilliant concert and very watchable picture,also for those interested it's in 5.1 surround sound,nice. I am very happy with this,it's just a pity it's not perfect because of the cuts to the album,but surely if those cuts bother so much,anyone with the original can just play that one. I would say as a big fan,it's stupid to give a cut version of the album the box set is celebrating,but as the cuts don't really stop it being a brilliant album,i am happy to play this one. So,to wrap it up,i'd say it's a set worth getting,but you do have to forgive the edit of the album,if you can do that,you're in for a treat.

The original 'Bad' album is a five star record for me. Not every track is fantastic, and nothing quite reaches the perfection of something like 'Billie Jean', but as a whole work it is far more consistent than its predecessor. The 'extras' are pretty generous - and these vary from fascinating to superfluous. The live CD of the concert is great, though it is unfortunate that they didn't opt for a 2CD option for the audio so the whole track list (that appears on the DVD) could be maintained. Most fans will be keen to hear the demos and outtakes. Of these, 'Price of Fame' and 'Abortion Papers' are the best - either could have been worked up and would have made fantastic additions to the album proper, or even replaced something like 'Liberian Girl' (which I always find a bit weak on the original album). The decision to not develop 'Abortion Papers' was understandable, given the touchy subject and the slight similarity to 'Billie Jean' (in parts) of 'Price of Fame' perhaps explain both being kept in the vaults. 'Streetwalker' is a pretty good track, familiar to anyone who bought the 2001 remaster, as is 'Fly Away'. The only real dud of the demos is 'Free' which is just a bit throwaway, and even ends in laughter - perhaps suggesting that even whilst singing it Jackson knew it wasn't a keeper. These do, collectively offer valuable insight into the recording process of the album, and the demo of 'Smooth Criminal', named 'Al Capone' is fantastic. It has a completely different draft of lyrics as well as pretty different vocal and musical arrangements. Next to the other demos it is head and tails above the rest of the material, and it is certainly justice that it was included on the final album, all be it in a pretty altered guise. The real stinker with this set is the pointless, modern, remixes tacked on the end. They are awful. Why some contemporary remixes, or actually nothing, could have been considered is slightly odd. Still, they are unwanted guests but they don't ruin the party.

今回私が購入したのは、ASIN: B0084I9QI2、JAN： 0887254009528のコードからなる商品です。 ３ｃｍほどの箱に３枚のCDと１枚のDVD（それぞれ紙のジャケットに裸のまま収納されていました） 、ポスター、シール、そして１５ページほどのブックレットが２冊収納されていました。 ブックレットの写真は非常に充実していますが、歌詞は掲載されていません。 （なお、このボックスセットは中古で購入したものですが、中古にしては状態がよかったです。） 今回のボックスセットは1987年に発売されたマイケル・ジャクソンの『バッド』の25周年版のデラックス エディションとなります。以下にそれぞれの感想を書きます。 CD１：『BAD』 本編のスタジオアルバムのリマスター盤が収録されています。言わずもがなの名作なので、詳しい 記述は割愛しますが、個人的には前作『スリラー』には及ばないが、一曲ごとの完成度は前作並 に高いという印象を受けます。リマスター効果は良好で、音圧・音質共に向上しています。 CD２：『BAD bonus material』 『バッド』発売当時の未発表曲やリミックス版等が収録されています。あくまで未発表曲なので、 サウンド面はやや貧弱に感じますが、歌や曲の良さは本編と比較しても遜色ない出来で、当時の 彼が絶頂期だったことがよく分かります。特に「アル・カポネ」は本編の「スムース・クリミナル」 の前身ともいえる曲ですが、単独の曲としてもかなりの良曲です。 CD３：『live at wembley july 16 1988』 1988年のロンドン・ウェンブリースタジアムでのライブが収録されています。『バッド』発売に伴う ツアーなのでそこからの曲が多いですが、「スリラー」や「ビリー・ジーン」といった当時の有名曲は ひととおり収録されているので、ベスト的な選曲と言えます。絶頂期なので、歌は当然素晴らしく、 またバックの演奏も非常に上手いです。音も良いので、ライブアルバムが少ない（ない？） 彼の公式のライブ盤として楽しめました。 DVD：『live at wembley july 16 1988』 CD３の映像版となります（ただし、DVDのみの特典としてバンド演奏と横浜公演の曲が数曲収録されています）。 マスターテープの収録ではないため、映像は鮮明とはいえませんが、パフォーマンスは非常に素晴らしいので、そこまで 気になりませんでした（余談ですが、バンド演奏の部分でキーボードのグレッグ・フィリンゲインズが関わっていた エリック・クラプトンの「いとしのレイラ」やフィル・コリンズの「スス―ディオ」の一節が登場するのはライブなら ではと言えます）。 ４枚組というなかなかのボリュームですが、どれも内容が濃く、値段的なことを考えても、単なるマニア向けでなく、広く一般的 に楽しめるボックスセットでした。

Surprise car l'image n'était pas celle du cd commandé mais en ouvrant la boite, la bonne image s'y trouve. La boite du double cd est cassée à plusieurs endroit, je vais devoir la remplacée. Sinon belle surprise avec les morceaux du cd 2.

Good product

Chegou rápido, a qualidade do cd é muito boa e pra quem quer uma coleção do rei do pop em mídia física, é uma ótima alternativa e ainda mais com esse álbum lendário do rei do pop. O único ruim do que o meu chegou foi uma parte que segura o cd dentro do acrílico está quebrado, é mais questão estética mesmo

Dopo aver acquistato il box con riedizione di questo album del compianto MJ ero dubbioso sulla versione LP... Per fortuna l'ho visto a casa di un amico e ho deciso che avrei acquistato anche l'album! In effetti si tratta di un vero e proprio must nella riedizione su vinile, un esempio che altre label dovrebbero prendere (in questo caso dalla Sony). Il disco contiene gli stessi brani della versione CD 25th Anniver. ed è stato stampato su tre vinili di ottima qualità. Ma è la bellissima copertina a lasciare senza fiato, in cartone lucido splendidamente rifinito e all'interno bellissime foto dell'epoca. Se siete fan di Jackson o meno poco importa, questa realizzazione merita 5 stelline per la cura profusa in ogni particolare. Mi chiedo solo perché la Sony non abbia realizzato fino ad oggi le versioni LP di "Off The Wall" e "Thriller" con la stessa cura maniacale.
