Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, shows his hands-on approach to managing his important career. Remember, this is a man that has changed the history of music and dance ~~ forever. The, at last, location of this historically important draft press release will be of interest to many on this globe.
Mr. Jackson has, on July the 4th (or the 3rd), 1985, reviewed his own press release and obviously does not totally approve of what the staff of Patrick Kelly Productions is about to submit for global release. MJ reveals his management style and his own displeasure with these rare notes by personally correcting in the following way – “Add L.A. star on Hollywood”, etc, and, “making Thriller the biggest selling album of all time – M.J. 7-3-85.” Also, Michael Jackson has highlighted certain phrases to emphasize just what he feels must be important. One can see the business and management skills of this young 27 year old Michael. A rare contribution to music history is featured here as authored by Michael Jackson himself.

To understand the importance and historical significance of this Michael Jackson manuscript, as meticulously corrected by the King of Pop, the reader should understand the context of the time.

The Victory Tour also played to 2 million paying fans and grossed a then record of 75 million dollars.
This was the last time the Jackson Brothers were to tour together; and, the Victory Tour featured two of Michael Jackson’s famous trademarks ~~ his one-hand, single decorated glove and his inovative Moonwalk Dance movements - MJ's Forever Changing The History of Dance.

After a 200 year separation, the two rarest plates from the original official White House China order of James and Dolley Madison have been reunited. Raleigh DeGeer Amyx, noted American Historian and Collector has, after years of research, added the only pair of extremely rare lozenges, (diamond shaped), 9.5” serving dishes to his well-known and often exhibited White house China Collection AKA The American Heritage Collection.
ONE OF ONLY TWO LOZENGES SHAPED SERVING
DISHES OF JAMES & DOLLEY MADISON
The original order of 1806, from Paris, France, for 231 pieces of Presidential China, by President James Madison and First Lady Dolley Madison, had been lost or destroyed, with the exception of only 29 remaining pieces. Assistant Curator, Grant Quertermous, of President Madison’s home, Montpelier, in Virginia, not far from Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, along with Bill Allman, Curator of the White House, have compiled historic information of value, revealing that out of the original Madison porcelain order of 231 varied pieces, only 29 pieces survive. Only three of these porcelain pieces are presently at James Madison’s home. Only eight pieces reside at the White House. The Raleigh DeGeer Amyx Collection has four of these rare Madison pieces, including the only pair of lozenges shaped porcelain White House dinnerware ever ordered by this Founding Father.

According to research, on the part of the White House, the Madison’s actually ordered their rare dinner service in 1806. During the Presidential term of James Madison, the British attacked the United States in what has since been known as the War of 1812. The attacking British invaders entered the White House and destroyed almost all within the Executive Mansion and set it ablaze. Existing White House china was also destroyed. Accordingly, the incumbent President, James Madison, instructed that the china he had officially used, as Secretary of State, now be used as Official White House China. There was no other alternative in 1814. After that this China became known as Official White House China and has been coveted by institutions, museums and advanced collectors ever since.
