THE CLASSIC 1992 BROADCAST FROM THE ROMANIAN CAPITAL
In March 1991, Michael Jackson renewed his contract with Sony for $65 million, a record-breaking deal at the time. In 1991, he released his eighth album, Dangerous, co-produced with Teddy Riley. It was certified seven times platinum in the US, and by 2008 had sold 30 million copies worldwide. In the US, the first single, ‘Black or White’, was the album's highest charting song; it was number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks and achieved similar chart performances worldwide. At the end of 1992, Dangerous was the best-selling album of the year worldwide and ‘Black or White’ the best-selling single at the Billboard Music Awards. Jackson was also the best-selling artist of the 1980s. • The Dangerous World Tour ran between June 1992 and November 1993 and grossed $100 million (equivalent to $176,986,869 in 2019); Jackson performed for 3.5 million people in 70 concerts, all of which were outside the US. Part of the proceeds went to Heal the World Foundation. Jackson sold the broadcast rights of the tour to HBO for $20 million, a record-breaking deal that still stands. • One of the tour’s very finest show, and one that still resonates hugely among fans everywhere, was his concert in Bucharest, Romania, on 1st October ’92, which was indeed broadcast worldwide by HBO and which was released on VHS tape shortly thereafter. • Previously unreleased on CD however, this new double disc set changes all that as it now makes available the full audio recording of this extraordinary performance, for fans worldwide to own and to cherish.
