Classic UK vinyl pressing of Michael Jackson Thriller, released on Epic Records in 1982 with catalogue number EPC 85930. This copy has the grey Epic labels, gatefold sleeve, original lyric inner and UK Made in England label text. The matrix numbers appear to read EPC 85930 A3 on Side A and EPC 85930 B8 on Side B, making this a desirable early UK pressing variant for collectors.
The vinyl is glossy and presents very well. Playback is strong with no skips, no sticks and no pops. There are no obvious scratches, only light quiet crackle between tracks and in quieter passages. A great playing copy of one of the most important pop albums ever released.

Artist:
Michael Jackson was one of the most influential and successful recording artists in music history. Thriller captured him at the height of his creative and commercial power, blending pop, soul, funk, disco, rock and R&B into a landmark album that reshaped popular music in the 1980s. With production from Quincy Jones and contributions from Rod Temperton, Steve Porcaro, Eddie Van Halen and Paul McCartney, the album delivered a run of era-defining singles including Billie Jean, Beat It and Thriller.
Thriller is especially prized by vinyl collectors because it represents a major turning point in music culture, from its groundbreaking production to its iconic artwork and music videos. UK Epic pressings remain highly collectable, particularly clean-playing copies with original gatefold sleeve, lyric inner and clear matrix information.
Record label:
Epic Records was a major CBS label and one of the key pop and rock labels of the late twentieth century. During the early 1980s, Epic was home to major international artists and played a central role in the global success of Michael Jackson. UK copies of Thriller on Epic with EPC catalogue numbers are popular with collectors, especially early pressing variants with Made in England labels and original packaging.
