Michael Jackson – Heal The World (Signature Series)

In 1993 Sony Music proposed the release of a Michael Jackson signature series CD, which would be given to customers who purchased a Sony Walkman.

Sony did not want to push Michael too hard with the type of content that would feature on the CD, so they proposed two new remixes, one of Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’ and one of Billie Jean.

Not only this, but the CD would contain the Spanish version of ‘I Just Can’t Stop Loving You’, which was a very rare track at the time.

Also included, and most exciting of all, was a special presentation of the song ‘Heal The World’, which was the song with voice-overs from Michael describing the ‘Heal The World Foundation’ and their aims.

Unfortunately, 1993 was a terrible year for Michael… and with the allegations that surfaced this same year, Sony cancelled the Signature Series project.

This CD did not even make it past pre-production stages, and a maximum of 50 copies in the world exist. The CDs were only given to Sony exec’s and people who were working closely on the project.
