Maybe people bought defective copies or it's all in the equipment some are using, but I don't understand the lukewarm comments regarding fidelity. My minty first press US vinyl copy sounds very 3D with impeccable bass and dynamics. Some of the best engineering I've ever heard on a pop album. Granted it was recorded and mixed digitally and also has clinical production values (Yamaha DX-7, Roland D50, and Synclavier heavy), it's still an engineering marvel. The Way You Make Me Feel" – The full length remix used for the single with louder vocals and ad libs added to the end replaced the original album mix. An excellent release. The sound is very pleasant - clear, tight and at the same time soft. It’s a joy to listen to this album in original mastering.

HIStory" contains a sample from "Pictures At An Exhibition" performed by The Philadelphia Orchestra, conducted by Eugene Ormandy Recorded By [Additional] – Bill Bottrell, Brian Malouf, Claudio Ordenes, Craig Johnson, Gary Olazabal, Matt Forger Vote up content that is on-topic, within the rules/guidelines, and will likely stay relevant long-term. Through it all, even with it's minor flaws, and even though it doesn't come close to "Off The Wall" and "Thriller", it is a very classic album by the man who took over the Music world.....Nice condition. Light markings that should not affect play much. Sleeve is a bit discolored and worn around the edges. Moderate wear to original insert. Ships in a whiplash mailer.

Got this one instead the 180g LP from EU (2016).. Got the same barcode..Haven't opened it yet. Want the 180gram.. Engineer [Additional Engineering] – Andrew Scheps, Bill Bottrell, Bobby Brooks, Brad Sundberg, Dan Wallin, Eddie De Lena*, Felipe El Gueta*, Harry Maslin, John Van Nest, Matt Forger, Peter Mokran, Rob Hoffman, Steve HodgeRunouts are hand etched except for "AD2" and after, which is stamped (and oriented upside down relative to the etched part). The first single " I Just Can't Stop Loving You" (featuring "Siedah Garrett") was a very unlikely first single with it being a ballad....But it was a WHOPPING #1 HIT, and remember, he did the same kind of thing for "Thriller".... Will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. The next single was "Man In The Mirror"....Now don't get me wrong, I love the Song, but I hate the Video!!!!! The subject matter is FANTASTIC, but the Video doesn't really reflect it well...The world is still in such a mess, and, well I won't get into the politics, I just feel like a Video with "Mike" in it would have been much better!!!!! Second part of each runout (starts with 01-) is stamped. -> IN SIDE 1 IS ETCHED AND SIDE 2 STAMPED!!
