Unfortunately I was really disappointed with the sound quality of this recording. Very bright sounding. The extras seem much better mixed. Not recommended as an audiophile recording.


Classic album, little bit of noise, though

I really love this album. Makes me remember back to when I was a kid. The only problem I have with this pressing is the amount of surface noise on the record. Pretty surprising for a newer pressing. That said, it is much better than my original LP from back in the day.


Thriller is a Thriller!

OMF'ingG---BUY THIS ALBUM! Just received mine, this album sounds absolutely QUIET, little to no surface noise. That's just the beginning---the sound quality will mesmerize you, staging, imaging, detail, I have NO complaints about this pressing. I am an avid vinyl collector, Thriller and Bad are now among my BEST quality albums period, and this ranks right up there with my MFSL and UHQR pressings. To all who helped produce these two albums---NICE JOB! To you the reader-stop thinking about it and buy several copies, you will wear one out from playing so much, it does sound that good---get a backup copy before these gems are out of print. Enjoy!


Good recording!

The audio quality of this recording is great! Compete well with recordings being made more than 25 years later. The second disk with the remixes is not my cup of tea. The remixes are as much trash as all remixes are.


1982 all over again

There was a time when M. Jackson amazed the world as a showman, not as a tabloid front-pager, and this disc takes us right back then as if nothing in-between had ever happened. Nice trip down memory lane; you can skip the remixes and new versions of disc 2 but disc 1 is priceless and the sound quality is actually quite good for a recording of the 80's. I was 10 when it came out and I have not forgotten a verse - I can't say the same for many discs of that period...
