unboxing vinyl

Like every other crazed Jackson fan in the grips of Thriller, I bought everything CBS slapped Jackson's name on.  Released in 1983, there was nothing exclusive here but I knew the red vinyl was special.  I don't remember ever playing any of them.

The PVC holder folded out to show the front and back of all 9 singles.  I thought it was a hassle, and a few years later it was yellowed and cracking, so I tossed it.

The sleeves are thicker than standard US picture sleeves, and a few are reproductions of an original single cover.

9 singles with 18 songs from Off The Wall, Live (The Jacksons), Thriller, the b-side only Can't Get Out Of The Rain, and Push Me Away from The Jacksons' Destiny album is perfectly matched with She's Out Of My Life.
