BBC Radio 2 documentary from Dec 2007 celebrating T25. 56 minutes.
Trevor Nelson is a Black British DJ on Radio 2 focusing on R&B, soul, funk etc. He was one of two BBC DJ's who covered Michael's memorial and got a fair bit of flak for that, IIRC. But I really liked this documentary and think it's a pretty good piece of work. I usually don't like these radio documentaries celebrating artists or important albums but this one is worth a listen, imo.
Time stamp - approx 51m - the 2nd verse of Vincent Price's 'rap' is played in full. I've heard the last couple of lines of this before but never the whole thing so I was stoked about that.
13m - Melody Maker (British pop paper) reviewing the album under the headline 'The thrill is gone'. I had forgotten that.
39m approx - snippet of 'Carousel'.
44m - record company guy getting confused about the Thriller choreography. Was Paula Abdul heavily involved? I'm sure it was just Michael and Michael Peters.
