The tapes contain 12 unreleased tracks created by Jackson during the making of the "Dangerous" album (1989-1991). These tracks have remained unknown to the general public, although rumors about some of them circulated among fans, reports the Hollywood Reporter.
The tapes feature Michael Jackson's voice discussing the creative process and joking during the recording.
To the disappointment of fans, the recordings will likely remain inaccessible. Jackson's estate refused to purchase them, although it confirmed that it does not claim the physical media. However, the copyrights remain with the heirs, making a public release impossible.
Musgrove estimates the find to be worth a seven-figure sum and plans to auction it. The tapes are currently stored in a secure location under the lawyer's supervision.
Earlier, Michael's production company announced that it is trying to block Wade Robson and James Safechuck (who accused the performer of sexual abuse allegedly occurring when they were children) from accessing the artist's old criminal cases.
