An album featuring nine unreleased album of Michael Jackson songs will be auctioned off by New York’s Gotta Have Rock and Roll auction house later this month.

The album, which appears as a blank disc with the word “Bible” written in a pen, is one of Jackson’s many elements available to preview before a public online auction that runs from July 19 to 28.

The unreleased tracks appear on a CD that was in Jackson’s possession. Other mixes of the three songs on the recording have already appeared: “Monster”, “Breaking News” and “Keep Your Head Up” appeared on Michael in 2010.

The nine other tracks, which would have been of superior quality, were not broadcast.

The starting bid on the unpublished album is $50,000, although the organizers are telling Rolling Stone that they expect the final prize to exceed $ 1 million.

The person taking the CD has no rights to the music, so the winning bidder can not distribute the record.

According to the auction house, the album was obtained by “Michael’s personal friend and personal assistant whose family was very close to Michael for many years, traveling all over the world with him.”

When he came for the comment, a representative of Gotta Have Rock and Roll said that Jackson’s friend wanted to remain anonymous.
Jackson’s latest album is one of many Gotta Have Rock and Roll pop memories for the upcoming sale.

Other Jackson articles include hand-drawn self-portraits, clothes, their “teddy bear personally” and an Oscar statuette “Best Daddy in the World” given by his children.

The auction will also include the handwritten letter Tupac sent to Madonna in prison in 1995 where the rapper discusses the reasons for their breakup.

This letter should sell over $100,000.

Two albums of Jackson’s songs have been released since his death in 2009.

The first one, Michael, was a source of controversy: several longtime collaborators of Jackson believed that the songs of certain songs – notably “Breaking News”, still included on this album at auction, did not belong to the king of pop.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Will.i.am, who worked with Jackson in the 2000s, said the new record was “not Michael Jackson,” before adding categorically, “it disgusts me” . Jackson’s brother, Randy, also questioned the authenticity of The Voices.

In response to these concerns, Howard Weitzman, a lawyer for the Jackson Estate, went so far as to issue a statement that “one of the nation’s most famous forensic musicologists” – Weitzman did not name The investigator – had determined that the songs belonged to Jackson.

The follow-up album, Xscape 2014, did not trigger so many high-level arguments.

The producers of a list like Timbaland, Stargate and Darkchild filled tracks that Jackson began between 1983 and 1999. The main single “Love Never Felt so Good” went to the Number Nine on the Hot 100.
