A few weeks back I posted Michael Jackson’s amazing home demo of “Beat It.” That was based solely around Michael’s singing with no instrumental backing at all.

Here’s a demo of his breakthrough hit “Billy Jean” that’s the complete opposite in that it’s thoroughly produced. In fact, it sounds so close to the final record that it seems like all they did was clean it up and give it a great mix.

Does anyone know if any of the tracks on the demo where used in the final mix?
