We\u2019re happy to share with you that on February 26,   the Estate of Michael Jackson and Sony Legacy Recordings will release a special CD\/DVD and CD\/Blu-ray edition of Off The Wall. The package will include Michael\u2019s revolutionary album in its original form and the new documentary Michael Jackson\u2019s Journey from Motown to Off the Wall, directed by Spike Lee. Furthermore, the documentary will make its world premiere at Sundance Film Festival on January 24, 2016, and its world television premiere on SHOWTIME on Friday, February 5th at 9 P.M. ET\/PT on-air, on demand and over the internet.  Following its premiere on SHOWTIME, it will be broadcast in other territories around the world and those air-dates will be announced by the local broadcaster in each market.<\/p>\n<p>For all of you who were hoping for a television broadcast of the documentary &#8211; the Estate heard you. For those of you ecstatic to introduce Off The Wall to a new generation of fans, the Estate heard you.<\/p>\n<p>We would like to re-interate that the album included in the package is a re-issue of the original album \u2013 there is no additional music or remixes on the CD or any \u201cbonus\u201d material with the documentary. We are sure some will be disappointed that there is not extra material, but as everyone knows, this album was early in Michael\u2019s career. He did not write or record the number of songs for this album as he did for later releases nor did he do any filming using his own camera crews of the making of his short films or other events. Without a wealth of material in the archives, the Estate and Sony decided to take a different approach with this release \u2013 strip it down and keep it simple and allow everyone to celebrate the album that started it all with a fun, specially designed, collectible package that holds both the album as originally released along with this special documentary and gives fans a chance to get creative with Michael\u2019s original concept for the album artwork.
