In a groundbreaking development, a never-before-heard studio recording featuring a young Michael Jackson has emerged from the shadows after being concealed for over half a century.
This historical revelation is set to captivate music enthusiasts on December 7th, as it is unleashed in the form of a “digital vinyl” via a blockchain-based platform.
The track, dubbed “Big Boy (One-Derful Version),” will be digitally unveiled through the innovative blockchain music platform, Anotherblock.
Listeners will have the unique opportunity to access this piece of musical history, accompanied by images of the original master tape and song components.
This exclusive release will be available for a limited four-day window, as both an open edition and a limited edition collectible.
Harking back to July 13, 1967, this recording transports us to the moment when an eight-year-old Michael Jackson, joined by his brothers, embarked on their maiden studio session at One-Derful in Chicago.
The release of this long-lost treasure is the result of a collaborative effort between Recordpool, the custodian of this rare recording, and the Swedish blockchain-based music and royalty marketplace, Anotherblock.

Michel Traore, the CEO and co-founder of the company, emphasized the significance of this release by stating that presenting it as a “digital vinyl on-chain” enables the creation of narratives and communities around the song, elevating it beyond mere commodity status.
Traore further added, “Some songs, and this one in particular, deserve a special home where they won’t disappear in the sea of hundreds of thousands of tracks released every day. This new format gives us a chance to craft more stories around the music.”
This release signifies a revolution in the realm of “digital vinyl,” prompting excitement within the digital ownership landscape of the music industry.
Katherine Jackson, Michael’s mother, echoed this sentiment and expressed her enthusiasm, stating that the “recordings of our musical heritage find a new rhythm for the digital age.
It is a testament that the Jacksons’ story, just like our music, remains timeless.”
The emergence of this treasured recording not only delights fans but also paves the way for a new era in music appreciation and ownership.
