You

more. These mixes are one of a kind, they were not distributed to the

of a kind.
These CD's
were in the care of Teddy Riley, who moved his music operations to
Virginia Beach, VA as the now defunct Future Records Recording Studio.
When Teddy and the studio ran into financial problems, the CD's came up
for auction and were purchased by private individual, and as such came
into our possession here in our store. We are 100% sure these are
authentic, and have 100% legal right to sell this music. We have had
Teddy Riley related memorabilia from that storage auction up for sale
in the past as well.

that was written on the CD to give you a better idea of what is
contained on them without hearing it. Remember, these only know copies

Teddy Riley! This is a once in a lifetime chance to grab these items,
they won't ever be for sale again. This is likely the only copies that
exist. We are not selling copies, and there are no copies being made

Let's
talk About... THRILLER: starting today
with our First Guest: French rapper
MC Solaar.
Singer, songwriter and producer Akon, who has already been
involved in hits for Gwen Stefani and 50 Cent, talked to Entertainment Weekly
about his contribution to Michael Jackson`s next album:
"It's incredible. We're trying something he's never done before, and
that's the challenge. There's not too much Michael Jackson hasn't covered. Just be ready for it."
While there's no timeline yet, Akon says Michael Jackson will self-release

"It's Mike, and he can. He don't really need a label to
distribute."

16th, 2007: Michael Jackson: "let's
go shopping!"
Michael Jackson was spotted yesterday in Los Angeles.
The King of Pop went for some shopping spree on
Melrose Avenue.
Several paparazzi followed him and tried their "best"
to take pictures. Michael Jackson also
tried his very best to escape the flashing
cameras.
Note: the people behind the website that has those [watermarked]
pictures of Michael Jackson [out in
town and in a private moment] has a
Warning at the bottom of their pages:
they ask fansites to pay their
(the site) standard fees before publishing
their pictures (!!).
Two things:
- Those paparazzi pictures were taken without Mr Jackson's
permission, and were made against his
will, and MJ data bank is not interested
in getting and publishing them (we will
stick to our policy by NOT publishing
such unauthorized material here, we
leave that to other sites will do that
with "passion"....)
- What site and / or fansite is ready to pay for bad
quality stolen pictures?
Nuff say about it all, Michael Jackson just went shopping,
like you and me, now, just have a good
day and enjoy yourself! :p
