Thriller (Picture Disc)
Thriller is Michael Jackson’s sixth studio album, arriving in 1982 as the follow-up to Off the Wall and marking a turning point in his move from Motown prodigy to global pop figure. Produced by Quincy Jones, the record blends post-disco rhythms with rock and R&B, and became the first album to win a record eight Grammy Awards in a single night.
Singles like "Billie Jean" and "Beat It" broadened Jackson’s reach across radio formats, while the title track introduced a cinematic approach to music videos that would reshape the medium. Elsewhere, "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" opens the album with restless momentum, and "Human Nature" adds a softer, introspective counterpoint. This edition presents the album on picture disc vinyl.
