	I'm about to go pick it up... but I just rolled out of bed. (Work night shift.) Hard to get excited when you're still working on your first cup of coffee... But I'm confident Pat's review is accuate.

	Actually, I just picked up my copy, and they BUTCHERED IT!!! More to come in a few minutes, as I'm still reviewing... Edited by aaronk

	DISC 1: "Rock With You" - correct 45 version/edit "Off The Wall" - edit of LP version; not the 45 remix "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" - edit of LP version, but edits are in the correct places; not the 45 version "Human Nature" - edit of LP version; not the 45 version

	DISC 2: "The Way You Make Me Feel" - sounds like the correct 45 edit/mix "Another Part Of Me" - 45 version; they got this one right "Smooth Criminal" - as Pat pointed out, this is the LP version "Black Or White" - 45 version "In The Closet" - 45 version, as far as I can tell "Who Is It" - 45 version, as far as I can tell "Will You Be There" - 3:39 edit; 45 version Edited by aaronk

	I just picked it up as well (after three stops -- Best Buy and Circuit City aren't even carrying it), and Aaron is right -- they simply did their own edits of the LP Versions of Human Nature, Wanna Be Startin' Somethin', and Off the Wall. C***suckers!!!! On the plus side, yeah, those versions Aaron mentioned do seem to be the true 45 versions -- In the Closet, Who Is it, Will You Be There, Another Part of Me. I don't know what to think except that maybe they couldn't find the single masters, or that they were so STUPID they thought they'd improve the sound quality by making their own digital edits from the first-gen album mixes. But this "project director" Joy Gilbert Monfried and mastering engineer Joseph M. Palmaccio are about to get angry letters from me...

	i'm doing a/b's tonite of the cd versions versus the 45s........if they are as everyone here states, meaning not being the 45 versions........why don't we get a letter together with all the members and tell the producers what a bad job they did.......

	Amen to that, Ed. And tell them how many copies they DIDN'T sell because of this... because I just posted this info on the Steve Hoffman web site, and several people said, "Thanks for the heads up... I was going to buy it, and now I'm not."
