The physical is a collector’s treasure. The packaging includes a 36-page booklet featuring never-before-seen photographs of Jackson in the studio during the Dangerous and HIStory eras. The artwork depicts Jackson in a golden, ethereal light, symbolized by the album’s concept of his spirit "escaping" the confines of time.
Executive produced by L.A. Reid and the late Epic Records chairman, Xscape takes a bold, controversial stance. Instead of presenting the raw demos as historical artifacts, Reid assembled an all-star "dream team" of modern producers—Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins, Stargate, and Jerome "Jroc" Harmon—to Jackson’s vault recordings. The result is a fascinating, if flawed, paradox: a record that tries to prove Michael Jackson is still relevant by sanding off the very eccentricities that made him timeless. Michael Jackson Xscape -Deluxe Edition- 2014
The Deluxe Edition provides exceptional value by moving beyond just the audio files. It includes a captivating, 30-minute documentary featuring interviews with L.A. Reid, Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins, and Stargate. The film gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at the creative decisions, ethical dilemmas, and sheer technical difficulties involved in extracting pristine vocals from decades-old tapes.
