Michael Jackson - Thriller

Original 1982 UK pressing of Michael Jackson’s landmark Thriller LP on Epic Records.

This is the collectible early sleeve variation where the rear production information credits Quincy Jones as producer, but does not carry the later “Co-Produced by Michael Jackson” credit.

The copy also retains its original printed lyric inner sleeve, making this a particularly attractive and complete example of the early UK issue.

The blue Epic labels state Made in England, with catalogue number EPC 85930. The rear gatefold carries the CB 271 / 57 codes. The actual matrix/runout markings are clearly shown in the photographs, allowing collectors to see the precise pressing details.
