‘Michael Jackson’s Vision’ Box Set Includes 42 Music Videos
'Michael Jackson's Vision,' a 3-disc, 4-hour visual encyclopedia of the King of Pop's music video/short film collection -- 42 videos in total -- will be released on Nov. 22 via EPIC/Legacy recordings.
Previous to the deluxe DVD announcement, access to MJ's videography was pretty stark, with the only music video compilation being the 13-track 'Video Greatest Hits - HIStory' DVD released in 1995, and it's volume two follow-up released two years later. A similar greatest hits video collection was packaged with his '08 'Number Ones' chart topper. 'Michael Jackson's Vision' delves a little deeper for those wanting to go further than just mastering 'Thriller''s zombie dance, the high kicks of 'Dirty Diana' and the bad guy flash dances of 'Bad' and 'Beat It.' Ten of the videos make their debut to the DVD format, including the short film for the R. Kelly-penned 'One More Chance.' The collection spans from Jackson's days singing with his brothers in 'The Jacksons' ('Blame It On the Boogie,' 'Enjoy Yourself' and 'Can You Feel It') to his work with renown movie directors like Martin Scorsese, Spike Lee and David Fincher.
The collection is the closest thing out there to encompass "the entire spectrum of Michael's pioneering short films," read a statement about the project. There is no live concert footage on the DVDs, just the epic, inspiring music videos and short films soundtracked by Jackson's music that would go on to inspire future generations of performers, namely Lady Gaga's 9-minute 'Telephone' and Kanye West's 35-minute 'Runaway' film.
