Over five decades after Michael Jackson recorded a demo version of the song “Big Boy,” it’s set to be released globally on the blockchain as digital vinyl through the blockchain music platform Anotherblock.
In a historic move, the first-ever studio recording of a young Michael Jackson, kept under wraps for over five decades, will be released on Dec. 7 as a “digital vinyl” via a blockchain-based platform.
The track, titled “Big Boy (One-Derful Version),” will be digitally published through the blockchain music platform Anotherblock and accessible through the platform’s player alongside images of the master tape and song stems. It will be available for 4 days as both an open and a limited edition.
Dating back to July 13, 1967, the recording captures eight-year-old Michael Jackson, along with his brothers, in their inaugural studio session at One-Derful in Chicago.
