The record


Title: Michael Jackson - Thriller 12” Single Dance Instrumental
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1984, Pop, Horror Dance Pop, Gary, Indiana 6/26
Matrix #: EPIC 49-04961
Condition: EX (LM) | Members: Michael J (58' - 09')
Cultural Facts:

  1. Personal Struggle: Jackson’s Thriller era sat on top of a childhood shaped by Joseph Jackson’s strict control, beatings, and rehearsal pressure, turning pop perfection into something more haunted.
  2. Studio Lore: Rod Temperton wrote the track after first calling it “Starlight,” while Quincy Jones pushed the record into full movie-night territory with Vincent Price’s spoken horror break.
  3. Media Narrative: This 12 inch fed the club and collector side of Thriller, while John Landis’ video turned a single into a full pop-cinema event.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
