Unreleased Michael Jackson film expected to fetch £4 million
Written by admin on November 15, 2011 – 10:04 am -| A previously unseen Michael Jackson documentary is expected to sell for at least £4 million at an auction in London on November 26.
The film was shot during three concerts at the Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespucio Liberti, in Buenos Aires, Argentina during Jackson’s “Dangerous” tour in 1993. |

Jackson was unhappy with the finished documentary and so decided not to release it, but he did give a VHS copy to his chauffeur as a bonus. It is this copy that is being sold and the lot does not come with distribution rights.
Fame Bureau’s CEO, Ted Owen, told The Independent:
| “I’m very excited that this tape is finally going to be seen because of its quality, the amount of cameras used and the sheer closeness you are to the performance when watching it.” |
Other highlights of the unusually named “Rock ‘n’ Roll & Holy Soles” auction include:
- Elvis Presley’s Alden solid body copper/bronze finish guitar that he used while in the army. This comes complete with its original valve amplifier and lead
- Roger McGuinn’s Regal 12-string acoustic guitar. This was the first 12-string that McGuinn ever owned
- Frank Zappa’s customised 1952/53 Les Paul Goldtop Guitar, which he used during the early to mid 1960s on stage and in the studio
- an original 1966 Hofner left-handed violin bass gitar used by Paul McCartney in 2002
- the Rolling Stones Rock ‘n’ Roll Circus photo archive with copyright
- a Fender Duo-Sonic guitar played by John Lennon in the 1970s.
