I like the cover to a degree and the concept, but certain songs make no sense being included and there are a few that should be here like "Ben" (I know is was on Motown, but c'mon, it was from a horror film!).

"Speed Demon" could be on here too.

Nice to see the Rockwell tune on here.

I'll get this on the cheap.

Agree. A few others that could have fit the concept better than some they included ("Dirty Diana?" Really?):

"Someone in the Dark" from the E.T. album
"Is It Scary?" from Blood on the Dance Floor
"State of Shock" (The Jacksons with Mick Jagger) from Victory

I've always wished there was an extended version of "Thriller" that was closer to the video mix, i.e., with an extended instrumental break after Vincent Price's rap, followed by a return to the main chorus.

I think Epic/Legacy could put out a nice comp of all of MJ's video mixes. I don't know why this hasn't been done for a lot of acts- many expanded/deluxe albums could've benefitted from video mix inclusion. The 80s had a lot of unique video mixes that were probably heard by more people on MTV than the single mixes on the radio.

I was ready to blast this before seeing there was a concept here. Actually looks like a lot of fun. Will only get if I see it really cheap at some point, but I think it's a pretty good idea in concept.
