Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Michael Jackson's Thriller is the bestselling album of all time, with 45 million worldwide sales powered by eight Grammy Awards. The 1982 album was also a success from which the pop superstar never really recovered--subsequent albums seemed to have no other goal than to beat the records set by Thriller. The highly- polished sound of Quincy Jones's production sounds almost organic compared to Jackson's more recent work, and in the same regard, Thriller was significantly slicker than its predecessor, Off the Wall. Both albums established a Jackson style that aimed for the dance floor with songs built on a state-of-the-art bed of percussion and keyboards. Elements of milestone Thriller tracks like "Billie Jean" (arguably Jackson's best-ever performance) and "Beat It" (with its hard- rock solo by guitarist Eddie Van Halen) influenced not just Jackson's records, but those of the entire dance-pop world. On the song "Thriller", Jackson indulged his taste for the juvenile and invited Vincent Price to rap in a really scary voice. With Thriller the album, Jackson created a different kind of monster--a hit album of such magnitude that it would have an irrevocable impact not just on the singer's art, but on his altogether kooky life. --John Milward

CD Description
Originally released in 1982, 'Thriller' became Michael Jackson's biggest selling solo album. 'Billie Jean', 'Wanna Be Startin' Something', 'Thriller' and his duet with Paul McCartney 'The Girl Is Mine' all reached the top ten. 'Beat It' was his only number one hit single from the album. Produced byQuincy Jones, 'Thriller' saw Michael Jackson expanding on his Motown influenced sound for the first time by fusing souland funk with edgy rock and pop.

5.0 out of 5 stars simply excellent!!!!, 20 Feb 2004
By Steven Tillsley "rtillsley" (Essex, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Whether it MJ's best album or not is debateable since people all have different opinions and i myself find it hard decide which is my favourite....
However it can not be denied that THRILLER is simply an excellent and superb album that is sort of a mixture of the disco feeling from OFF THE WALL and the pop from BAD!
All of the songs are great and the album is put together so well, it opens with WANNA BE STARTIN SOMETHIN which is worth listening to for the introduction alone and is sort of a poppy number while BILLIE JEAN(which is regarded as one of the best pop songs of all time)is not all out pop as we see it now as it so smooth and soulfull and has a great beat and rythm to it, its great.
BABY BE MINE(again a great intro to it) and P.Y.T are the disco offerings and are in my opinion as good as or better than the disco tracks from the OFF THE WALL album.
HUMAN NATURE is just an amazing track that is just so smooth and beautiful, the lyrics are great and the music(especially the subtle and delicate guitar strokes) complement it beautifully.
And of course BEAT IT just ROCKS!!!!!
The bonus tracks on the special edition are good too, the early demo of BILLIE JEAN sounds so cool!!
Basically THRILLER is a superb album that has now sold over 50 million copies and had 7 of its 9 tracks come out as singles so theres got to be somwthing pretty great about it!!
I THINK I'LL GO AND PLAY IT NOW!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Put Simply - One of the best albums - with a little extra, 23 Oct 2001
Wow - if you liked Thriller - then you will love the album. But its the extras that make this special. The origianl demo of Billie Jean allows you to hear MJ writing a song + the 2nd verse of the rap to Thriller is on the album. It's a bit like having a DVD - these special features make the album even more enjoyable to listen to - and with this album - that is an impressive feat.....

5.0 out of 5 stars The biggest selling album ever, 12 April 2003
By A Customer
What a pleasure it was to hear one of my favourite albums remastered and repackaged for a special release. Thriller stills sounds fresh, even twenty yesrs after its original release. The tracks are timeless, the production impeccable, and the voice- well what is there to say? The special edtion also contains two outakes from Thriller, along with an original demo of Billie Jean. Thriller is the biggest selling album of all time, and its easy to see why.
