DSF Michael Jackson - Bad (2026 Mofi SACD. DSD + CD Layer)

Hi everyone! I'm so back after a while!

Today I bring you one of the newest SACDs by MoFi. And a truly special one:

Michael Jackson - Bad.


This could be, in my opinion, the definitive version of the album. The amount of technicalities that it has now makes it superb.
HOWEVER, i must list 2 things regarding this release:

1.- This version of "Bad" doesn't have the original mixes of the album (aka, horns in the title track, no spoken intro in IJCSLY, etc). If you don't agree with the revised mixes, please: do not post any bad comments about this release if you're not even willing to give it a try. Same thing happened with the Off The Wall SACD and it ended up being the best the album has ever sounded.

2.- This SACD has a mastering flaw: The sound engineer forgot to decrease the volume in order to avoid clipping in certain songs while mastering. Please do not mistake these new "clipping" sounds caused by this mistake with other audible artifacts, as the album ORIGINALLY had those and certain distortions from the recording that are present on the original japanese CD from 1987 as well. The most notorious "new" clippings caused by this are noticeable on "Liberian Girl & IJCSLY".

IMPORTANT EDIT 22/09/2026: I've received an e-mail from Rob LoVerde, sound engineer for MoFi who mastered this SACD, confirming that this release is a flat transfer of the first-generation, official, final, MJ-approved master mixes of the album by him using the digital output of the Mitsubishi machine, as opposed to the analog output, in order to keep the signal as pure as possible. Confirmed by him, of course. So, the newest artifacts that I previously mentioned which I believed were caused by clipping have always been there, but burried and not noticeable in the original cds and reissues from 1994 because they were probably mastered using analog components (plus tape degradation).

So there you have it: this is a 1:1 copy of the digital master tape approved by Michael Jackson. No wonder why it sounds so damn good!

Tracklist:
1.- Bad
2.- The Way You Make Me Feel
3.- Speed Demon
4.- Liberian Girl
5.- Just Good Friends
6.- Another Part Of Me
7.- Man In The Mirror
8.- I Just Can't Stop Lovin' You
9.- Dirty Diana
10.- Smooth Criminal
11.- Leave Me Alone

Enjoy!
