    Picked this up for a bargain $15 NZD. Music hasn’t aged well in that it wouldn’t hold up to a timeless Led Zep or Pink Floyd for example. Very 80’s time warp.
    That said say what you want about MJ he certainly was talented and side two has the memorable Man in the Mirror, Dirty Diana and Smooth criminal. Pressed beautifully, dynamic soundstage!! If you can pick up cheap enough it will be a great trip down memory lane!
