A Club remix by DJ Rodger Sanchez of Michael Jackson's #1 hit "Jam"! At least three versions are known to exist. "Rodger's Club Mix", "Club Dub", and Club Radio Mix". Other "Jam" mixes include "Rodger's Jeep Mix(and "Radio Mix"), "Underground Mix", and "Slam Jam Mix". He also spat his own interpretations to "Don't Stop Til' You Get Enough" and the tune "Dangerous" with Rodger's Underground Solution and "Rodger's Rough Dub". This is his second project with Michael Jackson overall.

Teddy's Jam
Here is Teddy Riley's own interpretation into Michael Jackson's smash hit Jam. Also known simply as "Teddy's Jam"(not to be confused with a similarly-titled track for "The Guy").
I wasn't very fond of this remix. For one thing, the synths and instrumentation did not go concrete smooth with his vocals. At least the organ synthesizer could have been executed much better. Taking the master track and infusing it with a classical punch! After all, isn't that what New Jack Swing is all about?
Overall, I was a bit disappointed, but tell me in your own words how You felt about it.

The Way You Make Me Feel-Extended Dance Mix
If you've ever wondered what the Extended Dance Mix of The Way You Make Me Feel is like, well I have it right here! Released only as part of a companion for Monster Cable. Namely The Bad Mixes-A 13 track promo released in 1988.
The remix stripes down half-way through. However, the sound is somewhat similar to The Instrumental Version. I will take this any day over the official version! Listen below...

An Instrumental to "The Way You Make Me Feel"
Included with the single to "The Way You Make Me Feel" is a revealing instrumental. An intricate piece of art originating from the mind of Michael Jackson!
It's pretty obvious a lot of recording sessions had the volume cranked way up there(hence the slight sizzling in the background). Listening to the track(with the vocals scraped) gives new insight on what went into the song.
As you can see, the percussion, brass, chords, and keys were all meticulously chosen and crafted to make one heck of a Pop sensation! Most strikingly, the Bass Guitar was well chosen.
How about you. Do you enjoy listening to Michael Jackson unplugged?
[Note-I've just realized this is not the true instrumental but the dub version with the vocals scratched out. Currently, it can only be found on The Single My apologies]

A Wicked Bad Remix!
Bound to become my all-time favorite Michael Jackson remix. In August of 87' Smelly and Q-Ball farted around while recording the song Bad and seemingly wound up with this remix! Obviously a lot of hard work and dedication went into producing this goldmine!
"Skies The Limit" has a much better commentary on what went into the production of "Bad"(way better then The Instrumental) as each chord, brass note, and drumbeat is more distinct. Revealing how authentic MJ's recordings really were back in the 80's. Click Here a somewhat similar remix.
I'm serious! This is a must-hear for all you Michael Jackson fans(weather die-hard or just plain love his music types)!!!

Bad Dub Version
Here is the "Dub Version of Michael Jackson's blockbuster hit Bad.
According to Teddy Riley, Michael always wanted every sequence to be at least partially live(the exception would be most of Invincible and its of Blood On The Dance Floor). Yes, there would be a lot of computer synthesizers. But like any talented artist, they were mostly used for effect and to document a sound stuck in Michael's head. Based on that tune, he would hire engineers(mainly Bruce Sweden) and jam secessionists(e.g. Jerry Jay, Brad Buxer) to reproduce the bit in a more authentic setting to mix in with the already digitally produced sound. Depending on MJ's taste, the engineer would go back and add a few extra subtle bits.
Anyways, enjoy the dubbed instrumental to "Bad".

Bad Acappella Version
I'm not to sure about this being an official version of Bad acappella or if an amateur stripped his vocals from the album version. Suffice it to say, I did enjoy the background vocal harmonization.
However, I'd much rather prefer a complete strip-down to just his vocals(the true meaning of acappella). Instead of letting one instrument off the radar.
But I have a strong feeling The Estate will an album full of never before heard acappella's from Michael Jackson! Hopefully something to look forward to in 2011.
Just a thought.;)
[I've found a link to hear it in much Better Quality]!
