Notes
Re-issues of Bad feature a number of changes when compared to the original 1987 release:
"Bad" – The original mix was replaced with the 7" Single Mix. The most notable difference is the lack of horns in all the choruses except for the last two. Horns are also missing from the second and third pre-choruses. The rhythm guitar during the choruses is also turned up along with the hi hats.
"The Way You Make Me Feel" – The full length remix used for the single with louder vocals and ad libs added to the end replaced the original album mix.
"I Just Can't Stop Loving You" omits Michael Jackson's spoken intro.
"Dirty Diana" is replaced with the single edit of the song.
"Smooth Criminal" went through two changes on the album. It was remixed to make the kick drum heavier and the bass synth fatter. The quick-sequenced synclavier behind the bass has been rendered mono as well. The first version of this mix left the breathing intact, but was later removed after some time.

Fake. This doesn’t have the original 1987 mixes. Bad. I’m sad.- Good Picture Vinyl. Good sound and the images on both sides of the disc are good and coherent, not as the dangerous picture disc where the images are resized and looks pixelated. This one sound more than acceptable for me. I think it is a nice picture disc for your collection

Great album by Michael Jackson. Released in 1987 and a masterpiece by MJ! You often get it in good condition!- L’un des meilleurs albums de MJ, dommage que sur cette rééditions les dernières pistes se distordent un peu… ce qui est récurent sur les rééditions j’ai l’impression.

This is a dynamit of a production. The recording and pressing are really good and the whole album sounds amazing and even better than Thriller.referencing Bad (LP, Album, Gatefold) 450290 1
Picked this up for a bargain $15 NZD. Music hasn’t aged well in that it wouldn’t hold up to a timeless Led Zep or Pink Floyd for example. Very 80’s time warp.
That said say what you want about MJ he certainly was talented and side two has the memorable Man in the Mirror, Dirty Diana and Smooth criminal. Pressed beautifully, dynamic soundstage!! If you can pick up cheap enough it will be a great trip down memory lane!referencing Bad (CD, Album) EK 40600
this is the heavily criticised 2012 remaster version. steer clear of this pressing,- The audio on Just Good Friends does seem to be compressed to some extent but that may just be to Leave Me Alone onto the disk, otherwise great pressing!

Hallo ,
Habe von einem Kollegen einigen LPs geschenkt bekommen . BAD von Michael Jackson ist ebenfalls dabei . Die LP ist in einem recht guten Zustand , auf der Rückseite ist oben rechts ein Aufkleber angebracht mit der Aufschrift Club Edition EPC 15 058-1 ( 07-150581-20 ) Könnt ihr mir sagen was der bedeutet ?
