We Don’t Rock With You!! !

The auction house, Gotta Have Rock and roll
, is selling cassette tapes containing never-before heard MJ songs. The estate of the late singer is calling the auction a “sad effort by an auction website to mislead public.” The auction item is two cassette tapes that contain 12 unreleased songs Michael worked on during the late ’80s and early 90s, before his “Dangerous ” album. Gotta Have Rock and Roll will auction the tapes with an initial bid of $85,000, and expects a sale price between $150K and 200K. Oof. Millennials and Gen X, you’re catching some strays.Dylan Kosinski
, president of Gotta Have Rock and Roll, is firing back … telling us the cassettes are more valuable because they can’t be reproduced or released to the public.Kosinski says the fact MJ’s estate is hoarding the master records in their vault only makes this auction a bigger deal.
Michael recorded the songs with music producer
Bryan Loren
… and Bryan passed along copies to the consigner in this auction.
Kosinski is going full steam ahead with the sale despite the MJ estate thumbing its nose … bidding opens Wednesday at 9 AM ET sharp.
