Appearance
Pre Release (also known as Se7en or Unfinalised[1]) is a bootleg album claiming to include new tracks by Michael Jackson. While the album, released online in early 2007 (with 2008 usually in the album title[2]), does contain Jackson tracks, the majority of tracks only feature him as a background vocalist, whilst some tracks are credited to Jackson but are instead by soundalike artist Jason Malachi.
