Michael Jackson’s Invisible Gloved Hand Strikes Biggest Record Deal in History

By Damien Hoffman

The Next Best Buy?

The Hoffman Brothers uncovered an electronics retailer which is scaring Best Buy! We're up BIG. See how you can profit NOW.

Just when you thought Michael Jackson couldn’t get weirder, the late King of Pop is now the new King of Pop. The AP reports the Estate of Michael Jackson has signed “the biggest recording deal in history: a $200 million guaranteed contract with Sony Music Entertainment (SNE) for 10 projects over seven years.”

Next thing you know, TMZ will be reporting Jackson’s moon walk … on the moon.

This is probably a smart deal for Sony. Like the Beatles, Elvis, and any other rare transcendental artists, the demand for Jackson’s music will continue in perpetuity across the generations.

Now all we need are some creative financial engineers to securitize the future revenue stream, chop it into traunches of hits and filler, and whoa-la: we may have another Black Swan bubble.

Will you be buying Michael’s “new” albums? Let us know in the comments below …

    Absolutely I would buy his unreleased material if it's good. I love that man's voice. His voice was golden. I would also like to see his unreleased Victory Tour on DVD, digitally remastered. I also would like to see his "Bad" tour from the late 80's re- released on DVD digitally remastered. He was the greatest entertainer ever. Amazing entertainer may he r.i.p. I for one am glad that the estate and Sony reached this agreement, if MJ's stuff is not put out soon it may never be seen. Jimi Hendrix' estate came out with an album this week, forty years after his death. That in my opinion is waiting too long. Should have been put out 30 years or more ago. People will lose interest if you wait too long.

    I love Michael Jackson. I would buy it just because it is Michael Jackson. I would like to say ,regarding the article…Michael is not the former King of Pop, any more than Elvis is the former King of Rock and Roll. They retain their titles. James Brown will always be the Godfather of Soul. Perhaps you meant to say the late King of Pop. Michael Jackson worked from age 5 to 50 to get that title. If you try to remove it you will see a revolt like never before! Long live the King!!!
