The Thriller album helped reinvigorate the music industry. It deserves to be called the best selling album of all time.
*One of many, yes*
Isn’t it?
Thriller was made in mind to have (arguably) every track a hit, and they damn did!
Let's not get carried away now
You lie
*The majority, but not ALL of them*
These have quickly become among my favourite videos on UA-cam. Awesome work sir, keep them coming please.
Thank you! :-)
The face of Lukater looking at Paul is priceless
Agreed! Was thinking the same thing!?
This is really well made. Subscribed!
Thank you! 😃
Fantastic summary. Probably the best I've heard.
Thank you!
Man what can be said that hasn't already been said regarding THRILLER. This album was and is the greatest selling album ever and MJ broke the mold when this was created for so many artists including his peers. We still owe this album so much respect and gratitude for what it did for MJ, our favorite artists, and us individually.
Michael Jackson king of pop king of great tracks!
Truly a music industry stimulus package, as credited by Michael himself. An album where there were no b-sides but rather 7 top ten pop hit singles, brilliant cross-marketing with the McCartney duets, the advent of MTV and their initial reluctance to feature a black solo video until they provided like a million-five for the making of Thriller, and lastly the Motown 25 show.
Great choice for this video. Killed it 🤙
Thank you! 😃
Yes it's Friday! That means only one thing. 15 mins of audio bliss!
Thank you! 😃
The Time IS Prince.
Anthony Marrenilli is an absolute genius as eell as being a genuinely nice guy.
Btw it wasn't the Casio MT 60 but the casio 401 because of the outputs needed for recording.
Amazing video ...more like this please. Inspirational.
Thank you! Definitely more to come!
I took a masterclass with Ndugu Chancellor back in the late 90s and he talked about recording this track. He mentioned that he was using a prototype Remo Kevlar head on the snare…which to me explains a lot of that iconic snare sound.
Great information, thank you! Did he say what snare it was?
@@mixingmasteringonline He didn’t - but he was a Yamaha artist so…maybe that. I’m sure he had a nice collection of studio snares to play with.
Excellent overview of this landmark in time and popular culture. Is there any behind the scenes video of Michael laying down the vocal tracks during the recording of the album? I find the "creation" of music or an incredible album fascinating.
Thank you!
Guinness Book of World Record!
Brilliant video of the very detailed history of Thriller.
Thank you!
"Recording with Paul was so exciting that... I BOUGHT HIS MUSIC CATALOGUE!!!"
😅 and he really wasn’t happy about it..
His Album was intended to be smooth follow up to his first but was so good it got re-issued after it was making massive sales! It had everything on it! For me there were only 2 Albums I could listen to all the way through at that time Thriller & 1999 when they came out ! And a year or two earlier it was Rick James Street Songs
Here's a curiosity: Michael Jackson used to demo his songs all with his voice; that means drum beats and orchestration were recorded on a cassette player all by his voice.
Check out the video "Beat it (Demo)" here on UA-cam, it's kind of funny.
I did an interview with Bruce Swedien for an article I wrote for Mix Magazine. I have it on cassette somewhere in my files. I need to dig it up and put it on YT.
Definitely, that would be great to hear!
@@mixingmasteringonline I’ll see if I can dig it up. It’s specifically about Thriller album and/ several tracks.
Excellent, I hope you can find it 🤞
Cool!
The takeaway is the amount of people that worked on this album. Even Michael's later albums didn't have this amount of session musicians and you can tell
Odd seeing a brown Micheal before the bleaching and heavy facial reconstruction. Helluva artist. The audio quality for his records is just awe inspiring.
Also wild to see how black artists were ignored on music charts.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
If you’re readin’ this
And you’re needin’ this
I hope you succeed in this
Just keep proceedin’ this.
I know nothin’ about you
But don’t doubt you
Ever wonder what is UA-cam without YOU?
That’s like a ring without bling,
A chip without dip,
Surf without turf,
Jails without cells.
Schools without rules,
Ben without Jen,
Mike without Ike
Or Blues without clues. ✌️
Love that, thank you! 🙂
My favorite channel. I’m trying to figure out which snare Leon Chancler played on Billie Jean. It sounds like an Acrolite, but probably a wood snare was used. The hoop in that picture is brass.
Thank you! I don’t think that’s Leon’s set up as it was a picture Bruce shared later on to show what he did. It’s a great snare sound either way but it would be great to know what it was.
I read Bruce Swedien’s book years ago.

Himesh Reshammiya -Let me introduce myself with App ka Suroor Album
It was Westlake Studios A, not oceanway.
Totally, I don’t why I said Ocean Way, was mixing up another script there I think.
3:27 No. The bassline has been played on the Jupitee 8.
Overdubs were being recorded the morning the tapes were going to mastering???????? That means they had to be mixed right after being recorded.
I was today years old when I found out that Thriller was written by someone else and it didn’t hit No.1 😮
Wym? lol Thriller went #1 in nearly 15 countries. Also peaked atop the billboard 200
As far as the album being written by someone else, Michael definitely contributed to over half of those songs in the songwriting process. But yes, there were other songwriters on the album. It's not rare at all for music to be made in a collaborative kind of way
@@KenfenitThe song Thriller was not a number 1 single in the USA. It peaked at #4 on the hot 100. Worldwide it hit number one in less than 10 countries. The album however was a massive number one!
@@Kenfenit I’m talking about Thriller the song.
The AI-"enhanced" images are annoying and obvious. Please just use the original images!
Can you show the original images and stop using the AI upscaling please? It really takes away from the authenticity of the images and lakes everyone look smeary and messed up their eyes
What's your next video Gary glitter 😂
Just commenting for the algo.
Nice, thank you!
