    ABOUT THE BOOTLEG LP >>>

    The last copy sold for 30€ on 27th february 2025 as written here:
    https://www.discogs.sie.com/release/20921893-Michael-Jackson-Michael

    I saw a few days ago another website selling it for 30

    Don't get scammed by people sending messages asking for 200€ for a copy, it's a bootleg that's regularly repressed, don't get scammed

      Garbage, garbage, garbage! Michael Jackson didn't want these tracks released and there's a good reason why. I just want to throw up when I'm listening to these pieces of crap. They're bad. They're horrible. And even if those "fake" tracks were him, do not buy it, do not listen to it! This is a dishonor.
