Los Angeles - Michael Jackson's first posthumous album of previously unheard recordings will be released in November, according to Rolling Stone magazine.

The music journal said the album would include 10 previously unreleased tracks chosen from hundreds that Jackson made but never released.

Jackson's estate previously released This Is It, the soundtrack to the documentary that followed the pop-star's rehearsals for his ill- fated comeback tour. That album, released late last year, featured his greatest hits and a single previously unreleased song that had been co-written with Paul Anka.

Earlier this year Jackson's estate signed a deal with Sony worth an estimated 250 million dollars for the release of 10 albums over the next seven years - including new material, reissues and collections of Jackson's songs and music videos. Jackson is rumoured to have collaborated with artists such as Will.i.am, Akon and Ne-Yo.
