just realized the streaming version of smooth criminal only have michael’s heartbeat but not the sound of his heavy breathing like here hello?????

it’s just that in that version, it was just him and me in the studio

do you have the full tape?

ofc

hand it over it’s for research

if anyone has the new press of bad lmk if it’s there, cuz mine is a first press 👀

yo mine does not have this ??

is this a new press?? omg the audacity to remove it!?

yes it’s from walmart :( i did check my original and it does have it!! it’s such a beat up copy though (it was free) and it’s hardly listenable unfortunately

ooooh i see yes it seems like it’s only the early 80s pressings that got it

I need to analyze this for scientific purpose

same i need to listen to this twice a day

Only the ORIGINAL 80s pressings have it. None of the remasters have it at all as far as I can tell.

i got lucky then

this is only present in the first pressings of Bad, any later variant will have the updated mix with different intro, instrumental, and mixing

that’s too bad

You could always add your own files though 👀👀

oh. oh this is….something.

The original pressing of the LP had a this and a few other songs with some differences that were changed for unknown reasons. You can't find those versions on any official services. YouTube, the high seas or actually having the vinyl are the only ways you can hear them, today.

All i can think about is this feels like im resting my head on his chest

omg yes

saving this for some reason.

i get you😮‍💨

WTFFF THAT IS SO COOL

IKRRR??? AND SO HOT TOO

Uuhhh... you have a lot to learn about MJ pressings.

never too late to learn

And this is exactly why I started collecting records! I try to find the original year pressings for this exact reason!

holy shit the sound is insane what record player do u have??😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

thank you😌🤍🤍 it’s the Argon Audio TT model !! but i have good speakers connected as well same brand <3

Now I need to see if the Bad cd I have has this

@buckymfbarnes why are they altering a MASTERPIECE

it’s a crime fr

ugh i love how vinyls have all kinds of cool pressings and different features to discover

yessss that’s what makes it such a fun hobby

Bad doesn't have the trumpets in later versions either sadly.

wait whaaaaat that’s crazy

They leaked us 🙄🙄🙄🙄

@InStudioWithMJ might know why

You got the first press thats why that’s dope

bad was changed several times on multiple songs through the years, newer pressings are going to sound like whatever’s on streaming

Talvez te ajude

Christopher Currell, one of the member of the Bad Tour band, remixed Smooth Criminal in 1988 to have more impact. In 1991 this second mix had the breath cutted out and then you have the "Album Version #3".

HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BREATH HERE?!?!?!

that’s actually his managers breathing lol it was in the footnotes of bad 25

That sounds so crisp... They need to bring these back.
