Customer Reviews

One of his best compilations
Unlike the 'seen it all before' 1CD version of this collection, this one actually a wider spectrum of his music - which can only be a good thing!

It's inevitable that the publics choice of songs on CD1 will end up containing all the usual MJ songs (Billie Jean, Thriller, Don't Stop, Rock With You etc...) so it's a huge relief to also have a second CD with some of his less remembered but in some cases much better hits.

Despite what I said about CD1, it still is great (it is Michael after all). It contains most of the biggest hits along with a couple of other tracks which tend not to be heard as much such as Scream, Remember the Time and They Don't Care About Us (I didn't realise this song was so popular with the british public).

I much perfer CD2 though. It contains most of his more 'forgotten' hits such as Say Say Say (which i didn't actually own until now :D), I Just Can't Stop Loving You, Ghosts, History, Dirty Diana, Blood on the Dancefloor, Will You Be There, Who Is It and Give in to Me. Each track is a gem. The only odd choice of song is Speechless which was never released as a single anywhere. It's a great track though so it's more then welcome.

CD3 is a nice extra. Can't Get Outta the Rain has finally been released on CD, plus some unreleased versions of Is It Scary (a personal fave) and Smile are really nice to own.

There are only 3 things that i have to winge about..
1 - The lack of JAM????
2 - The lack of IN THE CLOSET??? Two of my favourite MJ songs ever :(
3 - The lack of Got the Hots which has been released on loads of other KOP collections around the world - why not us?

The packaging is quite nice to. It's a stiff card box which contains 3 x CDs in seperate card sleeves each with a picture of the man himself on the front along with a booklet (which, despite saying 'DELUXE UK EDITION' on the front is actually the same as the standard CD booket.) it starts off saying 'These 18 tracks...' when there's actually 48 tracks!

Other then that it' a great buy, so get it now!

get this one rather than the single disc version
This deluxe edition of Michael Jackson the king of pop has a lot more to it in terms of more songs that would have been found on the number ones best of like Dirty Diana whilst disc 3 has a number of classic rarities that have never been released before like can't get outta the rain a single b-side edit that has never been released before and boosted by the thriller megamix which may not be to eveybody elses tastes but atleast this has a lot more to it than the single disc version which i felt was lightweight in comparison to the deluxe box set edition of Michael Jackson the king of pop.

wow what a box set forget the 1cd version finally does michael jackson justice what a talent!!
yeh i dont like scream but can be forgiven because this box set is fabolous he is the king of pop forever the only pop group to match his songwriteing and talent is the beatles!! there was a time when artists were artists and wrote there own music those were the days!! king op pop he certainly is buy this fantastic!1
