Limited Edition! Celebrate the 25th Anniversary of The Ground-Breaking Bad Tour With This 180g 3LP Vinyl Reissue!
Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 194/500!
Twenty-five years after the phrase Whos Bad became a generations cultural catchphrase, Epic/Legacy Recordings, in collaboration with the Estate of Michael Jackson, celebrate the legendary album and record breaking BAD tour on with the release of BAD 25.
The BAD album was the third Michael Jackson album produced by Quincy Jones and was originally released on August 31, 1987. It was monumental in many ways; Michael wrote nine of the album's eleven tracks and received co-producer credit for the entire album. The album was #1 around the world, made history with five consecutive #1 singles on the Billboard chart, produced ten chart-topping singles, nine ground breaking short films and to date, the Bad album has generated over 45 Million units in sales. BAD was nominated for six Grammys and won two; the album earned Michael the first-ever Video Vanguard Award at the MTV VMA Awards. Songs on the original album are: Bad, The Way You Make Me Feel, Speed Demon, Liberian Girl, Just Good Friends featuring Stevie Wonder, Another Part of Me, Man in the Mirror, I Just Cant Stop Loving You, Dirty Diana, Smooth Criminal, with Leave Me Alone added to the album once released.
The era of BAD represented Michaels creative coming of age as a solo artist in charge of every aspect of his career from recording to touring to endorsements to merchandising. This was the first album on which nearly all of the songs were written by Michael. It was also was the first album in history to produce five consecutive #1 singles and it took 2 ½ decades for another artist to match that success. It was also the first time Michael would tour as a solo artist - his vision, his decisions on what the show would be. The enormous success of the BAD album and tour was a pivotal moment in Michaels growth as a composer, performer and producer cementing his role as the King of Pop. We are thrilled to celebrate such an historic era in Michaels career with this release, stated John Branca and John McClain, Co-Executors of the Estate of Michael Jackson.
