I Paid A Pretty Penny For This Original Red Vinyl 12" Of Bad And Wasn't At All Disappointed, It Sounds Fantastic And That Extended Mix Is Essential Listening. However The Japanese CD Single Has Equal If Not Better Sound Quality And Smoother Bass. Also It Feels Kinda Redundant To Have The 7" Single Mix On This Back To Back With The Extended Mix And The Radio Edit Of The Extended Mix It Just Seems Weird But All The Bad Era Singles Seem To Follow The Same Formula.

A Must Have For MJ Fans For A Perfect Sounding Digital Version Of The Extended Mix Of Bad. CD Sounds Incredible, These Japanese CD Singles Of MJ's In The Late 80's Are Some Of The Best Sounding CD Maxi Singles Ever Produced. It's A Shame Though That Michael Didn't Release Any Of The Classic Bad Outtakes Like Streetwalker Or Fly Away As B-Sides On Any Of His Bad Era Singles.

I at the time thinking it was strange that someone singing "I'm bad" and prancing about in such a camp manner could be considered "bad". However, with hindsight, maybe MJ was a bit "bad" after all?

A very nice and quiet pressing. Just a bit of sibillance. Unfortunately pretty much mastered from the CD master. (harsh cut at 20khz)

This Japanese promo is by far a way rarer vinyl than most collectors are aware of. Especially in near mint+ condition. After 3 years never up for sale on Discogs and according to different auction-history-pages, not sold in the last 15 years on eBay. Sure this one is straight for the collectors as the retail version owns the same songs but IF you are a collector, well, you have to dig deep.

Michael Jackson is, was and always will be 'the man'

Nobody else could have ever pulled this track off, to say the least.

An awesome piece of work from the musical genius of the era, the King Of Pop - and some.

Magic!
