"Jackson's 25th anniversary edition of Thriller features the entire original album, plus collaborations with Akon, will.i.am, Paul McCartney, Kanye West, and Fergie, as well as a new track, For All Time. Includes a bonus DVD with the Thriller short films."
"The album is a true ambassador of what pop music can be. Jackson whoops and dances through a suite of unforgettable melodies that should be danced to with a smile on your face. This album was originally released in 1982."@en
"Originally released in 1982, 'Thriller' became Michael Jackson's biggest selling solo album. 'Billie Jean', 'Wanna Be Startin' Something', 'Thriller' and his duet with Paul McCartney 'The Girl Is Mine' all reached the top ten. 'Beat It' was his only number one hit single from the album. Produced by Quincy Jones, 'Thriller' saw Michael Jackson expanding on his Motown influenced sound for the first time by fusing soul and funk with edgy rock and pop."
"The BIGGEST SELLING ALBUM of all time - 15 X PLATINUM IN AUSTRALIA ALONE! Now comes the 25th Anniversary Version with HOT new tracks from some of today's urban mega stars! Thriller created MUSIC history on many levels: SEVEN U.S.'Top 10' songs (from a 9 track LP), EIGHT GRAMMY AWARDS (nominated for twelve), and 104 MILLION units plus sold world-wide."
"25 Year Anniversary of one of the most important albums of our time, jam packed with hits! CD features 5 Bonus Tracks ontop of the revamped Bonus Tracks released several years ago. The new remixes come from Kanye West, Will.I.Am. & Akon, plus an unearthed track from the original 'Thriller' sessions 'For All Time'."
"By 1982, Michael Jackson was riding high, having enjoyed a solo smash with Off The Wall, and continuing to record and tour with The Jacksons. That was all to change when Michael and Quincy Jones returned to the studio to record what would become the biggest-selling album of all time: Thriller. Crafting a perfect mixture of pop and r&b and assembling a top-flight crew of session musicians (including guest stars like Eddie Van Halen and Paul McCartney), Michael and Quincy set out to make a record containing nothing but hit singles. Michael also set his sights on exploiting the new medium of MTV. With over-the-top videos for "Billie Jean", "Beat It" and the masterpiece short film "Thriller", Michael became the first black artist to have a video played on the channel. Eventually selling over 26 million copies in the US and winning eight Grammys, Thriller became THE international phenomenon of the 80's."
