Michael Jackson - Bad

The successor to the monumental Thriller, which solidified Jackson's title as the King of Pop. The album set a record by spawning five consecutive number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This record remained unmatched for nearly 25 years until Katy Perry tied it in 2010. The record comes in a stylish gatefold sleeve and delivers a significantly sharper, more urban, and aggressive sound utilizing cutting-edge Synclavier synthesizers.

Scenario by OBERTY: sometimes it's worth listening to an album not just for familiar hits, but to appreciate how they sound. Put on Bad, open up the gatefold, and take a seat right between the speakers. Notice how Quincy Jones builds every track: a punchy bassline, multi-layered synths, crisp drums, and Michael's vocals standing rock-solid in the center of the mix. Even if you know these songs by heart, on vinyl they reveal an entirely new dimension.
