Michael Jackson - History Vols. 1 And 2 (DVD)

I bought this DVD set as at this point I only had the NUMBER ONES DVD, which is great but doesnt give you the full versions of the short films BAD, BLACK OR WHITE etc. and you really have to have the full version ( Panther version) of BLACK OR WHITE if just for the dancing at the end which is fantastic.Also on this set you will also get the better version of the short film of SMOOTH CRIMINAL as I know a lot of people are disappointed when they buy the NUMBER ONES DVD & that hasnt the version you expect on it.So for the longer version of BLACK OR WHITE & the great vesrion of SMOOTH CRIMINAL is worth buying for those two alone.You do get some doubling up on this disc set as THRILLER is on DISC 1 & DISC 2 as is the great introduction BRACE YOURSELF but I certainly dont mind watching them twice!This has happened because these discs were originally released separately before being released as a box set.
Also the 1995 MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS PERFORMANCE is also on this set & not to be missed for the fantastic dancing.
If youre a new Michael Jackson fan and you buy this set you will wonder'' WHY DIDNT I BUY ANY OF HIS STUFF BEFORE ?'' and watch mesmerised, if an old MJ fan you will just think yourself lucky you can go online & buy this great collection all together at the click of a button ,as I remember way back in 1983 having to stay up to press the record button on my old video recorder ( which was quite a new invention then!) to record the worldwide TV premier of THRILLER.I wish this set had came out way back then!

no wonder he is the greatest entertainer who ever lived...he makes elvis look like a karaoke performer
