Celebrating Its 40th Anniversary, the Best-Selling Album of All Time Receives the Definitive Treatment on Mobile Fidelity's UltraDisc One-Step 180g 33RPM LP Set
Mastered from the original analog master tapes and housed in a deluxe slipcase, this extraordinary reissue of Michael Jackson's Thriller allows listeners to experience the transformative songs, soulful vocals, sleek rhythms, and vibrant production as if hearing it all for the first time.
Putting the incalculable impact and pioneering significance of the best-selling album of all time into perspective has never been an easy task. Thriller's mind-boggling statistics - including a record-breaking eight Grammy Awards and over 70 million copies sold globally - serve as reminders of how pervasive and indispensable the album remains to music snobs and casual listeners alike. Yet, the essence of Thriller's greatness always traces back to the power and scope of the songs themselves.
As Thriller celebrates its 40th anniversary, the blockbuster that reconceptualized music through a genre- and color-blind blend of fleet pop, funk, disco, soul, and rock, sent up with cinematic panache and dynamic energy, continues to sound even more invigorating than it did during the advent of the Walkman. The album united audiences, made strides towards achieving racial equality, and taught the world how to dance.
Mobile Fidelity's UltraDisc One-Step 180g 33RPM LP set does for Thriller what Jackson's unforgettable appearance on the 'Motown 25' TV special in 1983 did for his career: It makes the music personal, human, desirable, relatable, and imaginative - the definition of cool. This extraordinary reissue presents 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.
Strictly limited to 40,000 numbered copies and pressed at RTI, this UltraDisc One-Step release places listeners in the studio with Jackson and his collaborators. The immediacy of the sound is riveting, with every note, breath, and detail rendered with lifelike clarity and dynamics. From the infectious grooves of "Billie Jean" and "Beat It" to the cinematic scope of "Thriller" and the emotional depth of "Human Nature," the album's peerless songs have never been presented with such fullness, balance, and clarity.
This definitive Thriller reissue invites listeners to get lost in the music, to be transported back in time, and to understand why this album's legacy continues to loom so large over popular music. It's close to midnight, and the world is about to witness the resurrection of a bona fide masterpiece.
