Maybe people bought defective copies or it's all in the equipment some are using, but I don't understand the lukewarm comments regarding fidelity. My minty first press US vinyl copy sounds very 3D with impeccable bass and dynamics. Some of the best engineering I've ever heard on a pop album. Granted it was recorded and mixed digitally and also has clinical production values (Yamaha DX-7, Roland D50, and Synclavier heavy), it's still an engineering marvel. plays mostly VG+ with light scratches occasional light surface noise. Includes original inner sleeve, (split Through it all, even with it's minor flaws, and even though it doesn't come close to "Off The Wall" and "Thriller", it is a very classic album by the man who took over the Music world.....

The Way You Make Me Feel" – The full length remix used for the single with louder vocals and ad libs added to the end replaced the original album mix. Bass – Colin Wolfe, David Paich, Doug Grigsby, Guy Pratt, Keith Rouster, Louis Johnson, Wayne Pedzwater Runouts are hand etched except for "AD2" and after, which is stamped (and oriented upside down relative to the etched part). Second part of each runout (starts with 01-) is stamped. -> IN SIDE 1 IS ETCHED AND SIDE 2 STAMPED!! HIStory - Past, Present And Future - Book I(Cassette, Compilation, Remastered, Cassette, Album, Box Set, )

Will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Vote up content that is on-topic, within the rules/guidelines, and will likely stay relevant long-term. Recorded By [Additional] – Bill Bottrell, Brian Malouf, Claudio Ordenes, Craig Johnson, Gary Olazabal, Matt Forger The first single " I Just Can't Stop Loving You" (featuring "Siedah Garrett") was a very unlikely first single with it being a ballad....But it was a WHOPPING #1 HIT, and remember, he did the same kind of thing for "Thriller"....

As for George Michael, I can't even remember how "I Want Your Sex" goes anymore. Did it, in fact, have a melody? Probably not. The next single was "Man In The Mirror"....Now don't get me wrong, I love the Song, but I hate the Video!!!!! The subject matter is FANTASTIC, but the Video doesn't really reflect it well...The world is still in such a mess, and, well I won't get into the politics, I just feel like a Video with "Mike" in it would have been much better!!!!! Engineer [Additional Engineering] – Andrew Scheps, Bill Bottrell, Bobby Brooks, Brad Sundberg, Dan Wallin, Eddie De Lena*, Felipe El Gueta*, Harry Maslin, John Van Nest, Matt Forger, Peter Mokran, Rob Hoffman, Steve Hodge I know "Mike" had a video for "Liberian Girl", I don't know if it's a single, but it is a very nice smooth Slow Jam.... Nice condition. Light markings that should not affect play much. Sleeve is a bit discolored and worn around the edges. Moderate wear to original insert. Ships in a whiplash mailer.

An excellent release. The sound is very pleasant - clear, tight and at the same time soft. It’s a joy to listen to this album in original mastering.
