PRODUCED BY MICHAEL JACKSON

“Michael Jackson’s Vision” Available Everywhere Monday, November 22

In collaboration with the Estate of Michael Jackson, Epic/Legacy Recordings is releasing Michael Jackson’s Vision
on November 22, making available for the first time ever the entire
library of short films produced by Michael Jackson during his career as a
solo artist.

Packaged as a deluxe boxed set, Michael Jackson’s Vision
contains more than four-and-one-half hours of content across three
DVDs, capturing the entire spectrum of Michael’s pioneering short films
that transformed the entertainment industry with timeless, pop culture
classics that today’s youth embrace with as much passion as their
parents did a generation earlier.

Michael Jackson’s Vision brings together more than 40 videos, ten of them previously unavailable
on DVD and each presented in newly restored color and remastered audio.
And this release marks the debut of the short film for the R.
Kelly-penned “One More Chance.”

The simultaneous emergence of MTV as a television force and Michael
Jackson’s breakout as a global superstar provided the most epochal
musical/cultural shift since the Beatles. Seizing the potential of
MTV’s 24-hour reach, Michael Jackson produced and starred in a series of
what would become iconic short musical films that redefined and
established the perimeters, and parameters, of an entire new medium.

Jackson’s short-form zombie dance party masterpiece, “Thriller,”
famously directed by John Landis, remains a cultural phenomenon. It
recently became the first (and only) music video to be inducted by the
Library of Congress into the National Film Registry, an elite collection
of only a few hundred films.

Michael Jackson’s Vision
includes the full-length versions of the John Landis-directed
“Thriller” and “Black or White” as well as the classic “Bad” directed by
Academy Award ®-winning filmmaker Martin Scorsese. Also included in the
boxed set are Michael’s collaborations with such other noted film
directors as John Singleton, Spike Lee and David Fincher as well as
“Ghosts,” his rarely-seen collaboration with special effects legend Stan
Winston.

Michael Jackson’s Vision
will be available in a limited edition deluxe boxed set featuring a
60-page glossy hard-bound book that includes behind-the-scenes photos
from Michael’s personal archives.

The state-of-the-art packaging includes cover art using lenticular
virtual imaging technology to vividly represent memorable scenes from
Michael Jackson’s signature short films.
