Label: Epic – FE 35745
Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Stereo
Country: USA
Released: 1985 (Mid-80s Retail Reissue)
Genre: Funk / Soul, Pop
Style: Disco, Soul

💿 DESCRIPTION

Sealed mid-1980s U.S. retail reissue of Off The Wall, issued by Epic Records under catalog number FE 35745.
Front cover still in factory shrink with the original green rectangular hype sticker reading:

CONTAINS THE HIT SINGLES: “ROCK WITH YOU”, “DON’T STOP ’TIL YOU GET ENOUGH”, “SHE’S OUT OF MY LIFE”, “GET ON THE FLOOR”.
This variant, together with the printed UPC barcode (0 7464-35745-1) on the back cover, identifies the record as a 1984–1986 retail repress, distributed after Epic revised its catalog price code from “JE” to “FE.”
Produced by Quincy Jones and co-produced by Michael Jackson, this edition preserves the original analog mastering and blue Epic labels, but the packaging corresponds to CBS’s mid-’80s “Nice Price” design era.

💎 CONDITION VINYL: Presumed MINT (unplayed) COVER: Factory-sealed, never opened  🧾 NOTES FOR COLLECTORS

  • The green “Contains the Hit Singles” sticker dates the jacket precisely to 1985, when Epic re-marketed the album after the huge success of Thriller.

  • Earlier 1979 first pressings (catalog JE 35745) had no barcode and used smaller black or orange hype stickers listing only two singles.

  • Despite the same matrix number family, this FE-series pressing belongs to CBS’s mid-80s reissue program, not to the 1979 launch batch.

  • Still an all-analog cut, prized for its warmth and clarity, pressed before digital remasters appeared in the late ’80s.
