專輯介紹
《The Ultimate Collection》超豪華4CD+1DVD精選輯,內容包括四張收錄了57首Michael歷年代表單曲、專輯中的作品、只有少量發行過的作品以及一些前未發行過的錄音的CD,還有一張紀錄他1992年在布加勒斯特現場演唱會實況的DVD。
Michael將在這套精選輯中首度披露他以往為專輯錄音時的試唱demo,其中還包括他為“四海一家”活動所寫的主題曲We Are The World的個人獨唱demo。除了這些珍貴的錄音,這套精選輯中還將附上一本64頁的彩色冊子,內容除了每一首歌曲的相關細節記述,還包含了Michael以往鮮少曝光的照片、Michael自己所寫的創作紀錄、Michael的生平大事記以及由名樂評所寫的介紹文章。04年的We've Had Enough 反對伊拉克戰爭,再次表明MJ的音樂不僅僅將世界流行樂推至空前高峰,更是自始至終滲透著人道主義的光輝。這也正是MJ音樂能夠經久不衰的重要原因。這套精選輯對於西洋流行樂迷而言,真的是相當珍貴的一套收藏品。
