Michael Jackson - Thriller 40th Anniversary

World’s biggest-selling album with over 100 million sales

Experience the world’s biggest-selling album with over 100 million in sales – and the first album to be certified triple Diamond by the RIAA – on this new Thriller 40th Anniversary 2CD set.

Disc 1: Michael Jackson’s 1982 smash album Thriller changed pop music forever. This original album, featuring seven top 10 hits including Billie Jean, Beat It and Thriller, helped Michael win a record-setting eight Grammy Awards in one night.

Disc 2: Features Thriller-era bonus material including previously unreleased demos.

Michael first wrote and started work on this song in 1980 but was still working on it in February 1982 and considered it as a song for the Thriller album.

When it failed to make the cut for Thriller, Michael considered it again for The Jacksons’ Victory album but chose to contribute three other songs to that album: State of Shock, Be Not Always (co-written with his brother Marlon) and The Hurt (co-written with his brother Randy, David Paich and Steve Porcaro). This demo has never been released previously.
