Thriller 40th Anniversary

Watching the “Thriller” clip makes me even angrier at myself that I missed it in theaters.

Absolutely worth the wait. It took far too long, but maaaaaaaaaan, what a joy it is to finally have it (and that they put in the effort to make it look good).

I wanted to go and see it in Theatres but it was only shown in one cinema on the other side of the country lol. I haven't been able to watch the videos yet but I can't wait to check them out!
 
I’m sorry I keep commenting here, but by God, it’s so good to see everybody coming together universally to freak out about this. I don’t think the community has been on the same page since the lead up before “Breaking News” premiered.

If they put unseen shots on the clips sort of like they did on the leaked HIStory 25 Billie Jean remaster that would've been really cool to see.

Ehhh, tampering with the most famous short film of all time seems like a recipe for disaster. I would definitely love to see an “alternate cut” with different takes/angles though!

Surely but what I meant was for them to put a few seconds of unseen shots on the clips every now and then, it wouldn't change things all that much.

Its possible that they got released on Tidal/Apple Music accidentaly too early because they are not on Youtube yet.

It could just be that it's taking forever for the Youtube versions to process, not sure. I'll need to wait until it's on there as I am not signed up to any of those streaming services lol.
 
Holy crap!!! Just seen the 4K clips!!

This is perfect!! Colours are beautiful and true and man what a quality!!! Like watching it for the first time.

4K vidoes alone makes this one of the best releases from the estate ever!!
 
Well I got a free trial into Tidal Music, no disrespect to Tidal.. maybe I’ll cancel it or maybe I’ll renew it.. But Thriller and Beat It are on there and as always, the experience is magical.

The estate are listening, but they are stalling so as to make ventures more profitable throughout the years

It’s not good either… had she not been a Jackson she would never have gotten a Music contract…

Dont want to derail this thread but I wouldn't go that far. She sounds great on some other performances I've seen. She isnt doing mainstream pop so in that sense sure she probably wouldn't get signed but not because she isnt talented.

Good to know its finally out! Dont have tidal so I'll wait for youtube to watch.
Now we wait for Billie Jean.....

I would still argue it is. Even with all the dropped balls and failures, Thriller 40 is still giving us a better and more interesting selection of content than Thriller 25 did. (Plus, NO REMIXES!)

I'm not sure about that. It's true that T25 was a disgrace in every way, but the trend for sound quality is that it is worse with each release, so barring an upset, for fans it will most probably not be worth getting anyway.

The only thing I'm interested in is the Mo-Fi SACD. I will probably never buy anything from Sony ever again.

young people do not wanna see ugly YT videos on their 65" screen. They want 4K sharp picture.

Huh? Kids don't have a 65 inch screen, lol. The latest iPhone is closer to 6.5 inches.

There will be two immersive experiences.

I wish they hadn't used that word. "Immersive" is the record industry's new word for surround sound. Therefore this is misleading - there is no 5.1 or Atmos mix of Thriller :-(

Dorian said:
Is the SACD limited edition or just the Mo-Fi vinyl?
Click to expand...
I wouldn't worry what's "limited edition" or not. Technically everything is limited edition.

I'd buy the SACD as quickly as you can though. I think they said 40,000 copies. Most likely they will all be sold by release.

Like, I still find it strange that people are clamouring for 4K picture quality, but they don't want equivalent high sound quality...

I can’t wrap my head around this. How different can it sound, why was it recorded like that if people were never able to listen to all the details till now?

You know all those Grammys it won? Two of them were for Production and Engineering. It's an album with excellent sound quality. Just like all the discussion in this thread about video transfers, so the audio transfer can make a big difference. Technology is getting better all the time.
