The tracks, found by Gregg Musgrove, include both completely unheard material and songs that have been partially leaked online. The discovered recordings include:
- "Don't Believe It"
- "Seven Digits"
- "Can't Come Back"
- "Son of Thriller"
- "Truth on Youth"
- "She's Got It Baby"
- "All the Truth You Need"
- "Call It Off"
- "She Got It"
- "Man In Black"
- "Work That Body"
- "A Pretty Face Is"
- "To Satisfy You"
- "Pressure"
- "Serious Effect"
Several recordings include behind-the-scenes conversations between Jackson and Loren during the creative process. One particularly notable track features Michael Jackson rapping alongside LL Cool J.
While the Jackson Estate has officially declined to purchase the tapes, they provided a letter stating they don't claim ownership. However, the letter also clarifies that any future purchaser won't own the copyright to the recordings or compositions, making public release unlikely.
Musgrove plans to auction the tapes, which are expected to generate significant interest among collectors and Michael Jackson enthusiasts.
