J’aimerais beaucoup avoir la chanson baby Be Mine en maxi 45 tours japonais comme présenté ici. Parce que déjà Billie Jean et wanna be startin somethin ont une qualité fantastique. Et Baby be mine fait partie d’une de mes musique préférée de l’album.

I just discovered something! If you listen to Tangerine Dream: Kiew Mission on the Exit LP, you can hear at 0:37 the intro from Beat It.
Did Michael Jackson steal from TD? TD is 1981 and MJ is 1983! If it is, why isn't that mentioned in the credits? -

This '81 synth sampler LP for the amazing Synclavier II by Denny Jaeger https://discogs.programascracks.com/Various-The-Incredible-Sounds-Of-Synclavier-II/release/672815 had a huge surprise at 6min 25secs in.....beer down ! It's the intro to 'Beat It'...... -
How is the quality of get on the floor comparing to a US pressing ? some UK MJ pressings have terrible audio quality

In 1992, a lot of new remixes were commissioned by Sony of older Jacko tracks and on this one, there are two of the best ones in the pack along with Frankie Knuckles' timeless remix of 'Rock With You'. Moby reforms "Beat It" into a hardcore/dub workout and Brothers In Rhythm made a cracking piano ho out of 'Wanna Be Startin' Something'.
Moby's remix of 'Beat It' starts with Eddie van Halen's guitar solo and then the intro stabs from the original rearranged along with a Jacko chant. Then it kicks off proper with a chunky subby bass and some heavy drums. Halfway in track changes into some dub atmospherics and Moby strips the track down to the original bassline which is emphasised heavily and along with some delayed drums you hear Jacko's verse then it kicks back into hardcore with the Van Halen guitar solo used as an interlude. Quite an original revamp this classic.
Brothers In Rhythm go for a traditionalist approach and just update and beef up "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'". The track kicks along proper with a chunky beat and some vocal stabs and the funky guitar from the original and a piano is added and the original horns are worked right proper. A stunning and lovely rework of this classic. -
One of my fave tracks off Thriller and is the track that broke the mould of rock being a white orientated style of music. Get on the floor was on Off the wall and still sounds great alongside the newer material. Beat it has the power with the drums and guitars, where as 'the floor' has lots of funk. In my book that is a deadly combination !!
