\nRECORDING SESSIONS TO BE RELEASED<\/p>\nNew York, NY \u2013 Twenty-five years after the phrase \u201cWho\u2019s Bad\u201d became a generation\u2019s cultural catchphrase, Epic\/Legacy Recordings, in collaboration with the Estate of Michael Jackson, will celebrate the legendary album and record breaking BAD tour on September 18, 2012 with the release of a deluxe package, BAD 25, which includes three CDs, two collectible booklets, and features the first ever authorized DVD release of a concert from the
\nrecord breaking BAD tour.<\/p>\n\u201cThe era of BAD represented Michael\u2019s creative \u2018coming of age\u2019 as a solo artist in charge of every aspect of his career \u2013 from recording to touring to endorsements to merchandising. This was the first album on which nearly all of the songs were written by Michael. It was also was the first album in history to produce five consecutive #1 singles and it took 2 \u00bd decades for another artist to match that success. It was also the first time Michael would tour as a solo artist – his vision, his decisions on what the show would be. The enormous success of the BAD album and tour was a pivotal moment in Michael\u2019s growth as a composer, performer and producer cementing his role as the King of Pop. We are thrilled to celebrate such an historic era in Michael\u2019s career with this release\u201d, stated John Branca and John McClain, Co-Executors of the Estate of Michael Jackson.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
