Bad 25 is the platonic ideal of a deluxe reissue. The remaster is gorgeous, the unreleased tracks reveal new dimensions of the era, and the Wembley concert disc captures Jackson at his absolute peak.

The unreleased tracks include genuine keepers like "Don't Be Messin' 'Round" and "Streetwalker". The Wembley concert is a separate masterpiece in its own right.
