From Wikipedia... Thriller is the sixth studio album by the American singer and songwriter Michael Jackson, released on November 29, 1982, by Epic Records. 
Thriller was praised by critics and soon attracted greater acclaim. It was Jackson's first number-one album on the US Billboard Top LPs & Tapes chart, and stood atop for a record 37 non-consecutive weeks. The album’s second and third singles, "Billie Jean" and "Beat It", topped the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, while "The Girl Is Mine", "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'", "Human Nature", "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)", and "Thriller" also reached the Top 10, setting a record for the most Top 10 hits from one album. Sales of Thriller surged after Jackson debuted his signature moonwalk dance in Motown 25 and the "Thriller" music video premiered on MTV, and by 1984 it had sold 32 million copies worldwide, making it the best-selling album of all time.

I listened to both sides of this LP completely through playing on my audio-technica AT-LP60XBT turntable without issues. This record plays exceptionally and sounds great!  This LP had an enormous impact on the recording industry as well as American culture.  Michael Jackson was the King of Pop.
