Notes

4 disc career spanning anthology plus DVD of The Dangerous Tour in Bucharest and 60 pages booklet.

CD tracks 1-11, 1-17, 2-6, 2-9, 2-10, 2-11, 3-7, 3-8, 3-9, 4-6, 4-7, 4-11 and DVD are previously unreleased.

Booklet has at least one misspelling: "Wanna Be Startin' Something" instead of "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'"

Booklet states that "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing) (Demo)" is written by James Ingram and Quincy Jones. While this is true for the song as released in the "Thriller" album, it is a relatively known fact that the initial demo version (a different song, indeed) was written by Michael Jackson and Greg Phillinganes.
Two different cd colours released, black-gold or white-gold
Made in the EU.
