Notes

Michael Jackson’s second solo studio album, released August 4th, 1972 on the Motown Record Label.

The titular track was written for the 1972 thriller film of the same name, and Michael Jackson’s first number one hit single in his career.

Initial copies of this album featured a different cover artwork, with a crop of the titular film’s original poster underneath an image of Michael, commonly nicknamed the “rat cover”. This artwork was withdrawn early into production and replaced with a more tame cover artwork, that being the image of Michael from the withdrawn artwork, sans poster. Ever since then, the withdrawn “rat cover” has rarely ever appeared on any reproductions, with most of them using the censored cover.
