Michael Jackson, the legendary music icon, is currently making headlines even after his death, with the upcoming release of his first-ever studio demo. The song, titled “Big Boy,” was recorded over 50 years ago and features a young Michael, who was only eight years old at the time. This historic track was released yesterday December 7th, marking a significant moment in music history.
Speaking about the demo, it will be released as “digital vinyl” on the blockchain music platform Anotherblock. This move underscores a growing trend in the music industry where traditional formats are being reimagined through modern technology. The release will be accessible on Anotherblock’s player, complete with visuals of the master tape and song stems.
The unveiling of this rare recording is a collaborative effort between Recordpool, the custodian of the original recording, and Anotherblock, a Swedish blockchain-based music and royalty marketplace. The partnership highlights the importance of preserving and revitalizing musical heritage through advanced technology.
Recorded on July 13, 1967, at One-Derful in Chicago, this track is not just a song but a moment frozen in time. It features a young Michael Jackson alongside his brothers, capturing the raw talent that would later captivate the world. The release is limited to a four-day window and will be available in both open and limited editions, offering fans a unique opportunity to experience a piece of music history.
