Feature Album
The Year was 1982, Ronald Reagan was President, people were obsessed with the Rubix Cube, Knight Rider premiered on television, and Michael Jackson released Thriller, for which he would win eight Grammy Awards. Released today is a 25th Anniversary edition complete with remastered tracks of the famous hits including “Beat It,” “Billie Jean,” “P.Y.T.,” “Baby Be Mine,” and the title track “Thriller.” Although Jackson would go on to record many more albums, this is the one which made him a superstar and influenced music and music videos for years to come. |
