Mastered from the original analog master tapes, pressed at RTI, housed in a slipcase, and strictly limited to 40,000 numbered copies. Released in 2022 for $100.
I ordered this the moment it became available. As much as I would love to give this record a spin, I will never break the plastic seal on this highly collectible item. Oh the complications of being a collector.
Twelves, UK Epic promotional box set featuring 7 x 12" vinyl singles each in unique picture sleeve which, when placed together, make a picture of Michael. This box set has the exclusive 17-minute Michael Jackson Anthology Mix. Twelves was issued as part of the Number Ones album campaign.
Only available as a limited promo — never sold in stores — and containing an exclusive 17-minute Anthology mix, Twelves is one of my (numerous) most prized items.
I got Twelves from an eBay lot that also included original, first-pressing LP's of Off The Wall, Thriller, Bad, Dangerous, HIStory, Blood On The Dance Floor, and Invincible — all still sealed with hype stickers intact, matted and framed. As well as 12" singles and a Japanese mini-CD single.
Mastered from the original analog master tapes, pressed at RTI, housed in a slipcase, and strictly limited to 6,000 numbered copies. Released in 2025 for $125.
I pre-ordered this six months before it was released. As much as I would love to give this record a spin, I will never break the plastic seal on this highly collectible item. Oh the complications of being a collector.
In celebration of Michael Jackson's 60th birthday, picture discs were released for the albums Off The Wall, Thriller, Bad, Dangerous, HIStory Continues, and Invincible. These picture discs were available individually, or all of them together in this limited edition storage box.
The E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial album package contains a storybook, which allows listeners to read along with Michael Jackson as he narrates the tale of E.T. and the alien's visit to planet Earth. The book contains a photograph of E.T. placing his hands on Jackson's shoulders, while one of the extraterrestrial's fingers glows. This picture is included in the album package as a 22 x 22-inch full-color poster.
The 20-page storybook include stills from the movie and the lyrics to the song Someone In The Dark, which Jackson sings on the audiobook. The recording, on a 12-inch vinyl LP, features original music by John Williams, integrated sound effects from the movie, as well as the voice of E.T. in the background.
I saw E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial in the movie theater but it wasn't until a few years later when I found this album existed. I remember a neighbor friend of mine had this album, which he ended up giving it to me. However, it's condition was not good as it was greatly mishandled before I got it. It wasn't until decades later when I found a much better copy of it on eBay. I have also gotten a new, sealed copy of the box set.
The Jacksons Live was recorded during the band's North American concert tour in fall 1981, known as the Triumph Tour. The live double album was culled from recordings made on the tour's stops in Buffalo, Providence, Atlanta, and New York City. The concerts and Live recording features songs from the groups albums Triumph and Destiny, as well as a medley of their Motown hits, and a selection of songs from Michael Jackson's 1979 solo album Off the Wall.
