“Thriller” is 25

Epic Records/Legacy Recordings is releasing a 25th Anniversary Special Edition of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” with bonus tracks including remixes by Akon, will.i.am, and Kanye West.

There’s a nice interview on NPR with Chris Connelly, who reviewed the album for Rolling Stone in 1982.

An alternate album cover for the original Special Edition of “Thriller” can be found on wikipedia, for a look at what could have been.
