The record

Title: Michael Jackson – Thriller
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1982, Pop, Contemporary R&B / Dance-Pop, Los Angeles, California
Condition: New

Cultural Facts:

  1. Studio Lore: Built at Westlake with Quincy Jones pushing brutal selectivity—dozens of songs demoed, then trimmed down through relentless rewrites and takes.

  2. Media Narrative: The “Thriller” short film ran like a cultural event, forcing MTV-era gatekeepers to treat Black pop as mainstream programming.

  3. Personal Struggle: Jackson grew up under intense child-star pressure in the Jackson 5, with documented family-control dynamics that shaped his adult perfectionism and isolation.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
