It features a 52-page booklet with liner notes by Janet Jackson, Steven Spielberg, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Elizabeth Taylor, as well as many never-before-seen photographs.HISTORY BOOK 1 was nominated for a 1996 Grammy Award for Album Of The Year. "You Are Not Alone" was nominated for Grammy Awards for Song Of The Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, and the Michael Jackson-Janet Jackson duet "Scream" was nominated for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals.Michael Jackson's double-disc HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I is a monumental achievement of ego. Titled "HIStory Begins," the first disc is a collection of his post-Motown hits, featuring some of the greatest music in pop history, including "Billie Jean," "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough," "Beat It," and "Rock with You." It leaves some hits out -- including the number ones "Say Say Say" and "Dirty Diana" -- yet it's filled with enough prime material to be thoroughly intoxicating. The second disc, called "HIStory Continues," consists entirely of new material -- which also happens to be the first material he released since being accused of child molestation. "HIStory Continues" is easily the most personal album Jackson has recorded. References to the scandal permeate almost every song, creating a thick atmosphere of paranoia. Occasionally, Jackson produces some well-crafted pop that ranks with his best material: R. Kelly's "You Are Not Alone" is seductive, "Scream" improves on the slamming beats of his earlier single "Jam," and "Stranger in Moscow" is one of his most haunting ballads. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Great album from Michael Jackson
Created: 16/03/10
) HISTORY BOOK 1 contains one disc of Jackson's greatest hits and one disc of all-new songs. It features a 52-page booklet with liner notes by Janet Jackson, Steven Spielberg, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Elizabeth Taylor, as well as many never-before-seen photographs.
HISTORY BOOK 1 was nominated for a 1996 Grammy Award for Album Of The Year. "You Are Not Alone" was nominated for Grammy Awards for Song Of The Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, and the Michael Jackson-Janet Jackson duet "Scream" was nominated for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals.
Michael Jackson's monumental collection HISTORY BOOK 1 seeks to make two points. The first disc--chock full of hits spanning Jackson's Epic Records solo career--tries to establish how the so-called King of Pop earned that nickname in the first place; the second disc, featuring fifteen new, star-studded tracks, makes a case for him holding onto that royal moniker well into the next century. And though many may dismiss both directives as the product of Jackson camp hype, once the music begins it's hard to deny him any title he wishes to bestow upon himself.
All of the songs on HISTORY's first disc have already been ingrained in the minds of the radio-listening, MTV-watching public. From the funky disco of 1979's "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough," through the countless and diverse THRILLER hits ("Billie Jean," "The Girl Is Mine," etc.), to the anthemic peace-in-our-time ballad "Heal The World," Jackson's star-power-fueled singles invested the mainstream with black pop's soulfulness to the point where black pop became the mainstream. And Jackson, subsequently, became pop's king.
On the second disc, Jackson tries to retain a hold over his current empire while moving toward a more street-wise, hip-hop-tinged pop. "Scream," a duet with sister Janet, is prototypical. The beats are cold and stone-hard, and effuse grey noise electric discharges. Yet after multiple listens the song's simple chorus and minimalist melody imbed themselves in the cranium. Same goes for the mildly controversial "They Don't Care About Us," where Jackson near-raps a stream of nonsequiturs, amidst various urban-life samples, over a busy hip-hop beat. In fact, considering hip-hop's deep influence on HISTORY's new tracks, it seems the King has seen the future of his kingdom and may he Rest in Peace...Miss you MJJ!!!
Producers include: Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson, Teddy Riley, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Janet Jackson.

) Any fan of Michael Jackson will tell you that this CD is a must have. It's a 2 disc cd. The first cd is some of his greatest hits and the second is his (then) new stuff. It contains such hits like Rock with you, Billie Jean, Thriller and Black and White. Second has great new songs such as Scream, Earth Song, Stranger in Moscow, You are not alone and Childhood (Free Willy 3 theme song).
There are two versions of this album. There's the version that had the banned lyrics "Jew me" and the new version that says "Sue me." If you can get your hands on the first version, that is a collectors item.
You can pop in either cd and it will get you in a happy mood even during slow songs. This cd is a must have in your collection.

The Change in Michael...Contrasting Discs
Created: 29/02/08
This is a must have for any Michael Jackson fan or any music fan in general. The first disc is a greatest hits collection from his four Epic Records albums. I don't have to tell you how great those are.
The second disc is a bunch of new songs (for when the CD came out). This disc is great with many varying, but unified, sounds. This disc also has a much different tone to it than the first. It is angrier and more melancholy, but still quite beautiful. It seems to reflect many of the feelings MJ must have had during the time right before the CD came out. I think the two contrasting discs go well together and I highly recommend this album. The CD art and booklet are also very cool.

Michael's Last Great Album
Created: 15/08/09
I honestly wasn't a huge fan of Michael's Invincible record, but this one was fantastic. Originally just supposed to be a one-disc greatest hits project, Michael decided to add a second disc filled with new songs. They all are brilliant. Songs such as Scream, They Don't Care About Us, Strange In Moscow, Smile (Charlie Chaplin cover), Little Susie, and Come Together (Beatles cover) are only examples of standout tracks. Definitely pick this one up!!
His Best Album
Created: 01/01/11
This is my absolute favorite album of Michael's. Not only is the first disc a greatest hits with songs everyone knows, but the second disc of new (back then) songs is just amazing. I feel this album is the most personal and has the most emotion. A glimpse inside of his mind. Wonderful.
