profrob Oct 25, 2024
My copy sounds great. No surface noise, very dynamic. Starts to get a bit sybilant towards the centre but that could be my set-up.
Cuparis89 Jun 8, 2024
No dynamics at all. Dont like it. Better look for a vintage press.
Yopico Apr 22, 2023
L’un des meilleurs albums de MJ, dommage que sur cette rééditions les dernières pistes se distordent un peu… ce qui est récurent sur les rééditions j’ai l’impression.
Drkoslav May 26, 2022
Usually i'm very skeptical about modern re-releases of classic albums. But this one sounds and plays great!
Alessandro_B Mar 18, 2021
I think that this is a good repress, but not amazing at all. A side sounds better than B.
SlammedZero Mar 12, 2021
Looks like this is the one I have. The record sounds fantastic and played perfect. The album itself, well, it's the King of Pop. Not much more to say.
marcoprolo Dec 29, 2020
I have also that one (I guess).
Same barcode. Seller says from April 2016: Here stands May 2016.But I guess they mean the same. Haven't opened it, yet.
Can you tell me if your 'edition' hasa printed inner sleeve and is it 180gram ??
I'm not sure and that's why I didn't open it yet. Thanks for an answer!

I have this vinyl, but in the back of the box, upper right corner, below the barcode, I can read 1987-2015... but it's supossed to be 1987-2016.

Does your vinyls have 2015 or 2016 on that text?
BustDaMove Jan 22, 2017
Is this new 2016 version the same as the 1st 1987 version without the changes ? Like on I can't stop loving you dose it have Michael talking at the start ? Thanks

Does anyone have an opinion about this reissue? How's about sound quality. Is it a gatefold? Thanks for answer.
