Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ Reissue Audiophile | Celebrating 40th Anniversary

Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” will be reissued in audiophile on November 15th, 2022, in Phase I of the celebration for the 33x diamond albums 40th Anniversary.

Putting into perspective the incalculable impact and pioneering significance of the best-selling album of all time has never been easy.

Though Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” lays claim to mind-boggling statistics – for starters, it netted a record-breaking eight Grammy Awards and sold upwards of 70 million copies globally – that serve as reminders of how pervasive and indispensable it remains to music snobs and casual listeners alike, its essence always traces back to the greatness, power, and scope of the songs.

Now, as it celebrates its 40th Anniversary, the blockbuster that reconceptualized music via a genre and color-blind blend of fleet pop, funk, disco, soul, and rock sent up with cinematic panache and dynamic energy; united audiences; made strides towards achieving racial equality; and taught the world how to dance sounds even more invigorating than it did during the advent of the Walkman.

Mastered from the original analog master tapes, pressed at RTI, housed in a slipcase, and strictly limited to 40,000 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity’s UltraDisc One-Step 180g 33RPM LP set does for “Thriller” what MJ’s unforgettable performance on the “Motown 25” TV special in 1983 did for his career: It makes the music personal, human, desirable, relatable and imaginative.

This extraordinary reissue does so by presenting the songs in lifelike fashion, zeroing in on the fundamentals with laser focus, and magnifying the brilliance of the production, arrangements, and vocals in ways that let everyone experience “Thriller” as if hearing the album for the first time.
