Michael Jackson - This Is It (Epic)

Coinciding with the release of the movie, the CD only contains one new song - two arrangements of the title track, which was co-written with Paul Anka.

The rest of the two-disc set is demos and original album masters of some of his big hits, arranged in the same sequence that they appear on the film.

The set also has a spoken word poem, "Planet Earth," which originally appeared in the liner notes of 1991's "Dangerous."
