New Michael Jackson Album Of Unreleased Songs For Christmas

An yet-untitled collection of unreleased material from Michael Jackson will be released this November. Michael Wright of Gibson.com has the details:

A representative of Jackson's estate told Rolling Stone that Jackson left hard drives full of unheard music, much of it recorded during Jackson's heyday in the 1980s. Jackson's manager Frank DiLeo estimates Jackson left behind more than 100 complete, unreleased songs - some of it stellar: "There are a couple of songs we recorded for the Bad album that we had to cut that are sensational."

Former Sony Music CEO Tommy Mottola said, "Every time that [Jackson] recorded, he over-recorded. He would record anywhere from 20 to 30 songs for each album. Any of them could have been as big a hit as the ones that came out." -
