Michael Jackson's Thriller: reel tape versus vinyl
On this edition of KBTime, we look back at the legendary 1982 album "Thriller" by comparing a clean, barely played original pressing (from late 1983, as evidenced by the "Grammy Nominee" sticker) with an open reel tape, which was available only through the Columbia House record club.
