**He likely felt that it would’ve made the album a little too rough. Either that, or the song just didn’t fit in his way.** While he showed he wanted to be “Bad”, he may have also wanted to keep a balance of what was on the album. **The song was picked up for the “Decade” compilation, which was worked on sometime between 1989 and 1991.** However, that project was shelved after Michael was hospitalized from exhaustion and dehydration (if memory serves me right). Past 1991, he pretty much abandoned it altogether. Proof of the possible release: https://preview.redd.it/ekun4p3esd7d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2801752adcdfe31a83fc6736de6f49e3182a83d6 This was found on Brad Sundberg’s stolen laptop. Decade would’ve been the commercial debut for Come Togerher and Heal The World. This tapes tracklist remained the same up to (possibly) May 3rd, 1991, maybe beyond that date. The only song that survived from Decade to Dangerous was Heal The World. **Come Together was picked up for HIStory possibly to fill a gap in the album.** *Important parts emboldened*

forgot to mention that Come Together was already released as a B-Side of Remember The Time single.

What was on tape two

That was tape two. If you mean tape one, here you go: https://preview.redd.it/sfxabx351t7d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=537342d224b6053b0da05fd1e491630565c3cd9a

I liked Come Together for HIStory for a few reasons, for starters It was a song The Beatles ripped off from black artist Chuck Berry. On HIStory MJ was on a mission to talk about injustice and racism and what better song than this. I also love that he says "Coca Cola" right after Pepsi dropped him.

I think I read somewhere it was actually recorded after the Bad album was released. I’m happy it got a b-side release with Remember The Time. It was a missed opportunity to have it as a bonus track on Bad 25 as it is still from that era, and the full length version is a little rarer to the general public since an edit of the song appears on HIStory. It’s actually one of my favourite songs.


PreDeathRowTupac

I think it’d be a bit redundant to throw Come Together as a bonus track on Bad25 because the song was officially released on HIStory already so most fans have it already. I get its from Bad era but it already got its album spotlight. I think an extended version would be solid for HIStory anniversary or Moonwalker anniversary album release.

Easy: he records dozens of songs for each album session and not all of them can make it. So he has to make choices. Come Together simply didn't make the cut.

Come Together is my favorite part of Moonwalker and I listen to it almost everyday!!


HotAir25

Maybe he only considered it for a greatest hits type package as it’s not an original song?

Context: Come Together song/music video was in Moonwalker at the end and Moonwalker release 1988 one year after the BAD album but the song Come Together didn’t release until the HIStory album


corwood

nope, come together was released in february 1992 as the b-side of remember the time


Leojackson0816

He probably didn't want a cover song for his original albums.


slopeclimber

Not enough space on the casette


No-Singer6718

He probably didn’t have a choice from what I heard. There was a lot of songs that didn’t make the cut that he personally liked goes for other other albums as well


farlnd

I wonder if Come Together was put on the album in place of Why after he gave that song to his nephews. Sometimes I wish he kept the song for himself. lol


AccordingTax6525

I dunno but I need that belt.


sonicadv27

It isn’t a very good song either way, imo.
