This copy has Triple Plus Shootout Winning sound on side one!
- A killer Top Copy: Triple Plus (A+++) on the first side, Double Plus (A++) on the second
- The sound is huge — big, wide, deep, and open, with the kind of three-dimensional soundstaging that lets the music unfold in front of you and around you
- Billie Jean and Beat It sound out of this world here, but that’s not fair to the rest of the album since every track does
- “More than just a phenomenon…it is simply great music.” — AMG 5 stars
The sound on this copy is huge — big, wide, deep, and open, with the kind of three-dimensional soundstaging that lets the music unfold in front of you and around you as well. You get the bottom end punch that’s so crucial to this music and tons of energy as well. The bass is meaty and well-defined, showing you the rhythmic foundation that the music needs. The overall sound is transparent with amazing texture to practically every element.
Michael’s voice is marvelous on this copy — breathy, textured, and positively dripping with emotion (just listen to him break down on The Lady in My Life).

If your system is up to the task, you won’t believe how big and lively this album sounds. Who woulda thunk it? (more…)
