Gregg Musgrove, a former California highway patrol officer, has discovered a collection of unreleased songs by the late American pop singer, Michael Jackson.
Musgrove unexpectedly saw the trove of Jackson’s tapes in an abandoned storage unit he purchased in San Fernando Valley.
According to reports; the storage unit once belonged to Bryan Loren, the American producer who collaborated with Jackson on his 1991 album ‘Dangerous.”
Hollywood Reporter said the cassette and digital audio tapes contain 12 unreleased tracks that Jackson worked on between approximately 1989 and 1991.
He said, “I’ve gone to all the fan sites. Some of [the songs] are rumored to exist, some of them have been leaked a little bit.”
“A couple aren’t even out there in the world.”
“I’m listening to this stuff, and I would get goosebumps because nobody’s ever heard this stuff before.”
“To hear Michael Jackson actually talk and kind of joke back and forth, it was really, really cool.”
The discovered recordings might not be released publicly.
Musgrove noted that the attorney hired to contact Jackson’s estate was informed that the copyright on all of Jackson’s musical recordings and compositions is owned by the estate.
He added that the estate claimed it has the master recordings of the newly found songs in their vaults, and nothing commercial can be done with the new copies.
