Michael Jackson fans, open your wallets to keep his children rolling in money.

An all-new album featuring ten unreleased tracks by the singer will be released this November, just in time for the Christmas buying season, Rolling Stone magazine reports.

At the time of his death Jackson reportedly left hard drives filled with unheard music, much of it recorded during the peak of his career in the eighties.

Jackson's manager Frank DiLeo told the publication that he estimates that Jackson's vaults contain more than 100 completed and unreleased songs, including collaborations with Akon, Will.i.am and Ne-Yo.

“There are a couple of songs we recorded for the “Bad” album that we had to cut that are just sensational," DiLeo said.

“Every time that [Jackson] recorded, he over-recorded. He would record anywhere from 20 to 30 songs for each album,” former Sony Music CEO Tommy Mottola said last year.

“Any of them could have been as big a hit as the ones that came out.”

The album will be part of the first in a 10-project, seven-year deal the Jackson estate inked with Sony Music in March 2010 – a $250 million (Dh918.4m) pact that will also include reissues of Jackson's classic albums, new greatest hits sets, a DVD collection of all Michael's music videos and possibly a “Cirque du Soleil” show.

The hybrid karaoke and dance simulator “Michael Jackson: The Video Game: is also expected out by the end of 2010.
