Michael Jackson Video Archives Memorial 2012 Volume XXXVIII (BAD 25 11/22/12: RARE EDITED Version for Television)

Description

BAD 25 11/22/12: RARE EDITED Version for Television: This is the rare edited version for television that has never been released on DVD. While there is a longer version of this document available, this edited version for television serves as a very unique alternate version of the documentary that has never been available publicly and for that reason, it is considered extremely rare more so then it’s longer version that exists.

When Michael’s classic release “Bad” debuted in 1987, Spike Lee’s filmmaking career was just starting to take hold. The director pays tribute to the fifth-best-selling album of all time — which yielded such singles as the title cut, “Man in the Mirror,” “The Way You Make Me Feel,” “Smooth Criminal” and “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You” — in the documentary “Bad 25,” which ABC gives a Thanksgiving night television premiere Thursday, Nov. 22. 2012

Lee interviews such other Jackson collaborators as fellow moviemakers Martin Scorsese and Joe Pytka in creating a remembrance of how “Bad” came to be, utilizing archival footage that also recalls the global concert tour Jackson launched in support of the album. Results included sales of approximately 45 million copies and five chart-topping singles, a record tied only relatively recently by Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream.”
