About the album

Thriller came out in late 1982 and simply never left. Michael Jackson and producer Quincy Jones set out to make an album where every song could be a single, and they very nearly managed it: seven of the nine tracks went top ten in the US, and "Billie Jean" and "Beat It" both went to number one.

"Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" opens in a frenzy, "Human Nature" and "The Lady In My Life" slow things beautifully, Eddie Van Halen tears through the solo on "Beat It", and Vincent Price's voice still gives "Thriller" its spooky grin. On cassette it's the perfect excuse to dig out an old Walkman. Some of us still remember rewinding it with a pencil.
