Release
Announced in May 2012 by the Michael Jackson Company LLC, various formats of Bad 25 were released simultaneously on September 18, 2012. The album, a two-disc set, includes the original album, as well as unreleased material recorded during the Bad sessions. The material includes early demo versions of songs from the album, demos of songs not included on the final album, and remixes. A DVD of Jackson's July 16, 1988 performance in Wembley Stadium, London, was also released.
The deluxe edition of the album, which is a box set, includes: both the two-discs along with a CD and DVD of the performance on July 16, 1988 at Wembley Stadium in London, a booklet with photos from the making of the Bad album and behind the scenes photos from the short films for Bad, a two-sided poster and a Bad 25 sticker. A vinyl version of the original 1987 release (which does not include "Leave Me Alone") will also be released. Three songs, "Streetwalker", "Fly Away" and "Todo Mi Amor Eres Tú" (the Spanish version of "I Just Can't Stop Loving You") appeared on Bad: Special Edition in 2001. The Japanese edition includes "Bad (Live at Yokohama Stadium September 1987)". This track was also included on the unofficial live album One Night in Japan in 2009.
Bad 25 is the tenth album released by Sony and Motown since Michael Jackson's death on June 25, 2009.
Marketing and promotion
To implement a new "Live for Now" campaign, Pepsi planned to promote the 25th anniversary of Bad by printing one billion Pepsi cans with a photo of Michael Jackson from the "Smooth Criminal" video (which is not to be included on the CD or DVD itself).[5] Limited edition 16 ounce (450 ml) cans were produced and distributed worldwide.[9]
Film director Spike Lee announced that he will produce and direct a documentary aiming on the 25th anniversary of Bad, and the date for the release has been announced and was be shown at the 69th Venice International Film Festival. The documentary titled Bad 25, will include behind the scenes of music clips of songs from the Bad album like "The Way You Make Me Feel" and many others. It will also include guests to talk about the album who were with Jackson producing, acting or starring in any of Jackson's Bad singles and music videos like Sheryl Crow who was the duet partner with Jackson on the Bad world tour for "I Just Can't Stop Loving You". Siedah Garrett, the original duet artist, will also be on the documentary to talk about her experience with Jackson and many others. There will be influenced entertainers and artists to talk about the Bad album like Cee Lo Green and many others. Lee said the documentary will show a more personal side of Jackson, and said "He had a great sense of humor, and he was funny — so you'll see a lot of that stuff!". The documentary was shown at the 69th Venice International Film Festival from August 29 to September 8, 2012, and premiered on ABC on November 22, 2012.
On September 18, 2012, Sony Music and the Estate of Michael Jackson in partnership with BET broadcast a two-hour TV special titled Bad 25: The Short Films of Michael Jackson, which shows the short films from Bad, which like Thriller revolutionized the industry, and also features interviews with fans, journalists and critics.

The album received mixed reviews. Ray Rahman from Entertainment Weekly grades the album "A", and reminds the box set is "a potent reminder of just how much Bad's pulsing pop holds up", and the previously unreleased songs are "real treasures".[25] Mike Diver from BBC said, it is "an awesome, evergreen and essential pop masterpiece".[27] Chaz Lipp from The Morton Report reviews the album "a terrific set".[28] The Los Angeles Times, reacted positively to the product, however were averse to the new remixes especially collaboration with Nero, Pitbull and Afrojack.
Randall Roberts said "these are terrible commercial house tracks, and are an insult to MJ's memory because they do it so ungracefully".[29] Evan Sawdey gave the release 7/10, criticising Afrojack as "outright trash", and saying of Speed Demon: "it ends up sounding more like a Nero song with MJ’s vocals than it does a genuine Michael Jackson remix".[30] Supajam simply referred to the song as a disgrace,[31] while Michael Cragg said "the world's worst rapper, Pitbull. He lazily croaks his way through two verses, spouting such lines as "I'm so out of this planet I speak a third language called that moon talk, in four years catch me with a billion doing that moonwalk". Just after he says billion he nearly manages to soil the trademark "hee hee", which only just masks the distant sound of Jackson spinning in his grave."[32]
