The record

Year/Genre: 1982 Pop / Rock
Matrix #: QE 38112 (Thriller)
Condition: NEW

Description: Beyond being the best-selling album, Thriller marked the first time a Black artist received heavy rotation on MTV—Michael Jackson personally pushed to break that barrier with “Billie Jean.” The record also pioneered the concept of the “short film” music video, with John Landis directing the 14-minute Thriller feature that set a new industry standard. Jackson worked with producer Quincy Jones at Westlake Studios in Los Angeles, using cutting-edge recording techniques that influenced how pop albums were engineered for decades. For collectors, it’s not just a blockbuster—it’s a cultural milestone that reshaped television, fashion, and global pop music.

    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).
