Releasing as a “digital vinyl” via a blockchain-based platform on December 7, the first-ever studio recording of the young legendary pop star Michael Jackson, which had been concealed for more than half a century, will be a landmark event.
Anotherblock, a blockchain music platform, will digitally release the song “Big Boy (One-Derful Version)” and make it available via its player, along with photos of the master tape and musical stems. Both the open and limited-edition versions will be accessible for four days. Michael Jackson’s mom, Katherine, was quite enthusiastic about the release.
Katherine stated:
“Recordings of our musical heritage find a new rhythm for the digital age. It is a testament that the Jacksons’ story, just like our music, remains timeless.”
Elevating It Beyond Just a Commodity
Recorded at One-Derful in Chicago on July 13, 1967, it features Michael Jackson, then eight years old, and his siblings during their first studio session. The recording’s owner, Recordpool, and Anotherblock, a Swedish blockchain-based music and royalty marketplace, worked together to make available the track.
Major musicians such as Justin Bieber, Rihanna, and The Weeknd have all collaborated with Anotherblock before.
Michel Traore, co-founder and chief executive officer of Anotherblock stated:
“Doing this drop as a digital vinyl on-chain makes it possible to build stories and community around the song and elevate it beyond being just a commodity.”
He expressed his enthusiasm for the release, seeing it as a further opportunity to disrupt the music industry’s digital ownership landscape.
