- Description: 2008 , a collection of smokin' tracks from Alan Freed's rockin' big band. He was neither a singer nor a musician, but Alan Freed knew just what it took to make the Big Beat of the Rock 'N' Roll era come alive. The Big Band that he lent his name to in the mid '50s was one of the hardest-rocking outfits of it's era, boasting the cream of New York's R&B session musicians in it's line up and featuring such stellar tenor saxophonists as Sam InchThe ManInch Taylor, InchBigInch Al Sears, Freddie Mitchell and InchKing CurtisInch Ousley taking some of the fieriest solos ever committed to tape. Freed's band could be heard on four albums that were issued on US Coral and Brunswick between 1956 and 1958 - one recorded under the name of the King's Henchmen. The first of them has been reissued several times but, incredibly, the contents of the other three have remained unavailable for almost half a century. 24 tracks. Ace. Album Tracks 1.

Jackson collaborated with a number of other writers and performers such as Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Rod Temperton. Five singles were released from the album.

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.
