Rare Michael Jackson Tapes Found in Abandoned Storage Unit, Including Unreleased Songs
A man discovered twelve unreleased Michael Jackson tracks in an abandoned storage unit in the San Fernando Valley, previously owned by music producer Bryan Loren. The recordings date from approximately 1989-1991, before the release of Jackson's Dangerous album.

The discovered tracks 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 feature behind-the-scenes conversations between Jackson and Loren during their creative process. One notable discovery includes an unreleased collaboration featuring Michael Jackson rapping with LL Cool J.
The finder, Gregg Musgrove, approached the Jackson Estate to purchase the tapes, but they declined. The estate provided an official letter disclaiming ownership while noting that any future buyer would not 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. Some songs are completely unknown to fans, while others have only partially leaked online.
