Michael Jackson / Ultimate Gems: Best of Multi-track Masters

This 2-CD set compiles Michael’s signature songs—focusing on his hit singles—using original mixes derived from rare multi-track masters and alternate versions, all featuring a state-of-the-art 2026 remaster. Truly the ultimate Michael “best-of” collection, it encapsulates his entire solo career: spanning from the 1979 turning point “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough,” through the blockbuster eras of *Thriller* and *Bad* and his final single released during his lifetime, “One More Chance” (2003), to the posthumously released “Hold My Hand” (2020). A total of 28 key hit singles are included. Unlike previous official greatest-hits albums, this release is distinguished by the fact that every track features alternate audio—distinct from standard album versions or single edits—making them rare, unique mixes. The “multi-track mixes” are particularly noteworthy; derived from studio session multi-channel masters, they often retain elements like introductory chatter and count-offs, or avoid the standard fade-out endings found on finished tracks. Some selections even present “rough mixes”—lacking final overdubs or mixing—offering an intimate, raw vocal sound that captures the nuances of Michael’s breathing. As a 2026 compilation featuring alternate audio rather than a standard greatest-hits package, the differences become more apparent with every listen; this is an essential limited collector’s edition for fans, serving as a perfect companion to future planned releases.
