About this product

Remastered 2CD Edition Of The Classic Live Album By Van Der Graaf. Mastered From The Original Master Tapes. With Fully Restored Artwork And New Essay With Band Interviews. The album was the final of the 1970s by Van der Graaf Generator, who by 1977 had abbreviated their name to Van der Graaf and featured a line-up of Peter Hammill (vocals, piano, guitars), Guy Evans (drums), Nic Potter (bass), and Graham Smith (violin) who added Charles Dickie (cello) to the band mid-way through the year. Following a long year of touring and recording the album 'The Quiet Zone / The Pleasure Dome', the band greeted 1978 with two concerts at the Marquee Club in London on 15 and 16 January which were recorded. The concerts featured a guest appearance by former member David Jackson on saxophone and flute. 'Vital' was a brutal sonic assault and featured Van der Graaf at their most powerful and impassioned. The record proved to be their swansong of the 1970s, as by the time of the album's in July 1978, the band had broken up due to financial difficulties. Album Tracks 1. Ship of Fools 2. Still Life 3. Last Frame 4. Mirror Images 5. Medley A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers /The Sleepwalkers 6. Pioneers Over C 7. Sci-Finance 8. Door 9. Urban / Killer / Urban 10. Nadir's Big Chance

Limited vinyl LP repressing in gatefold jacket. Thriller is the sixth solo studio album by Michael Jackson.

Thriller explores similar genres to those of Off The Wall, including pop, post-disco, rock and funk. Recording sessions took place on April to November 1982 at Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles with a production budget of $750, 000, assisted by producer Quincy Jones. Seven singles were released from the album, all of which reached the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. In just over a year, Thriller became-and currently remains-the best-selling album of all time, with estimated sales of 65 million copies worldwide. It has become the first album ever to be certified 32 times multi-platinum for U.S. sales, marking more than 32 million sales shipped. The album won a record-breaking eight Grammy Awards in 1984, including for Album of the Year. Album Tracks 1. Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' Jackson, Michael 6 03 2.
