-+ Rip Notes +-
Those of you who have followed us for a while might remember we released a VHSRip of this back in 2003. While the tape was pretty decent, it was still a 1983 VHS, the rip is getting pretty old, and as you all know Jacko went and died since then. We’re therefore thrilled (get it!?) to bring you this updated rip, made from the finest source available, the 1991 remastered Laserdisc with digital audio.This is a double treat, as it has both the full Thriller music video, and the extensive making-of documentary that aired so frequently on MTV back then. Both were record holders for their time, Thriller as the most expensive music video ever, and the documentary as the best selling home video ever, with over 9 million copies sold worldwide.

This is Michael at his very biggest, when he owned the world, and could get anything he wanted at the snap of his fingers. Like SFX legend Rick Baker, teamed with John Landis, and the most elaborate extended choreographed monster zombie dance scene the world had ever seen. Enjoy this absolute highlight of Michael’s career, and watch everything that went into making it!
