Let There Be Love: SoulMusic Collects, Expands Shirley Murdock's Elektra Albums

The Second Disc Guesses the 'Thriller 40' Track List
It's hard to know what a Michael Jackson event release looks like today. For one, the King of Pop is very much dead; for another, November's impending release of Thriller 40 is the third reissue of the bestselling album. Are the vaults empty? Is the estate stingy? (This is, after all, the same Jackson estate that bizarrely changed the font on the cover, got very defensive about it, yet changed it again, with a new slipcase.
