Michael Jackson / “Bad 25” kicks off with exclusive CD single release

Sony/Legacy have this week re-released I Just Can’t Stop Loving You, Michael Jackson‘s 1987 hit with Siedah Garrett. This officially kicks off the Bad 25 reissue campaign since the CD single features a previously unreleased track from the Bad album sessions called Don’t Be Messin’ ‘Round (demo). Unusually, this release will not be made available digitally and in the US is only available at at Wal-Mart.com and Wal-Mart stores.

The CD is released in Europe next week, and can be purchased on Amazon. The pictures on this post show the European CD single, which surprisingly, comes in an album-style jewel case.

It is not known at this stage if the Don’t Be Messin’ ‘Round demo will appear on the 25th Anniversary reissue of Bad. Full track listings have yet to be announced.

On 25 June (26 in the US) Sony will also reissue I Just Can’t Stop Loving You as a special numbered seven-inch vinyl issue, this time with original B-side Baby Be Mine. That can be ordered here along with other Bad 25 reissue configurations.
