Mr Gregg Musgrove, now a stay-at-home dad, procured the tapes after an associate purchased a storage unit in the city of Van Nuys that contained the recordings, according to American trade publication The Hollywood Reporter.
The unit had once belonged to American music producer Bryan Loren - who also worked with artistes including the late American singer Whitney Houston and English musician Sting - but whose whereabouts are unknown.
Inside were cassette tapes and digital-audio tapes (DAT) of 12 unreleased tracks Jackson had worked on before releasing his Grammy-nominated Dangerous album in 1991. The King of Pop died in 2009 at the age of 50.
