"Al Capone" / "Smooth Criminal"

Date range assessed by the fact that producer/programmer Christopher Currell implied that both songs were recorded during the 1986 Hayvenhurst sessions in Mike Smallcombe’s “Making Michael” (“Even this far into the project, Michael was still concerned that the tracks were not sounding the same [at Westlake] as when they were originally recorded into the Synclavier at Hayvenhurst... Frank agreed that there was a difference. Michael especially noticed this on the song ‘Smooth Criminal’.”)
