Bad 25 is the 25th anniversary edition reissue of American recording artist Michael Jackson's seventh studio album Bad. This is the second album by Jackson re-released on its 25th anniversary (the first being Thriller 25). In a press release by The Michael Jackson Company LLC on May 3, 2012, the album, which sold between 30–45 million copies worldwide, making it the eleventh best selling album of all time, was re-released on September 18, 2012 with co-operation with Epic, Legacy Recordings and MJJ Productions. Along with the original album, Bad 25 contains demo recordings recorded during the Bad era, with the deluxe edition also containing a live CD and DVD (titled Live at Wembley July 16, 1988) of Jackson's performance at Wembley Stadium during his Bad world tour.
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.
