Michael / Items 1980-1989
Michael Jackson Perfume (Eau de Toilette)
Michael Jackson perfume for man is released in France on 1989 and trademark registered to Triumph International, it's a limited edition.
There are 2 scents, a Mystique de Michael Jackson a perfume for women and Legend de Michael Jackson a cologne for man. There are also 2 different bottle types. The first set features an excellent quality hologram of Michael, a 3D hologram label. When you turn the bottle Michael smiles at you. These hologram bottles are by far the rarest and most sought after bottle types. The second bottle type features a picture of Michael, with shoulder length hair, white T shirt and black leather jacket. The bottles contain 60 ML or 2.0 US FL.OZ of the scents.
The scents were created in Paris by both Michael and well known perfumer, Jon Pierre Sand. Victor Chiam licensed the perfume products but unfortunately died before they were released. The licenses then became embroiled in legal estate problems and the release of the perfumes was delayed.
A media launch including TV advertising and promo store posters was prepared and all in place to be launched just days before Michael was falsely accused by the Chandler family. The perfumes were therefore never commercially released and have become sought after collectors items.
The boxes ar in black or white, matching the colours of the perfume bottles. The boxes are 5 inches tall, by 3.5 inches wide and 1 inch in depth. The "Michael Jackson" signature is on the front of the box in metallic golden colour.

Michael with The Jackson 5 Live (Album)
This album was been released on September 12th, 1988 by Motown and taken up in 1973. Where it is been taken up isn't mentioned on the cover, but suspect that it is in Japan, because of the few words which the J 5 are telling in the local language.
What attract the most is that you can hear only Michael in stereo, his brothers and the music are divided over left and right. It's a nice album, also because you can hear how such a concert of the Jackson 5 was.
This album is rare but still to find.

The 12" Mixes (Maxi-CD)
The Australian were beginning in 1988 with "The 12" Mixes". That Maxi-CD, which has been manufactured in the 'Thriller' period, is for two reasons a collector item: first is it rare (even in Australia) and second you can find two almost not to be found remixes on that CD. Therefore we cannot withhold them.
With "The 12" Mixes" you can kill two birds with one stone: so you can procure also the two Extended Versions of "Thriller", which were once produced: "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' " en "Billie Jean" and that is something special.
Track list:
1. Billie Jean - 6:23
2. Beat It - 4:17
