Seems to me that the Jackson estate is eager to cash in on Thriller once more. Hopefully they will seek to go with an Atmos reissue of the album.
They'd be crazy NOT to.

NOT 3D nor Dolby Atmos, received an email from CDJapan today that this was AGAIN available: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEODAI-19324
Of course the price is ridiculous for a single layered Stereo SACD and it also incurs CDJapan's PROXY service fee (NO cancellations accepted, EXTRA shipping/handling fees, NO bonus points, etc.) but the title "Second Hand Thriller" most intrigued me. :yikes
i think its a used copy of the Stereo SACD sold via CD Japan thru a 3rd party and not a reissue of the OOP SACD?

I'm fortunate to have an EXCELLENT cd version of Thriller...I play it all the time and I'm glad I took the time to "hunt it down" several years ago...check out the DR HERE...it's a shame what they have done to Thriller over the years...and for those that always seek out 24/96...be careful what you wish for....it's not always "superior"....to even a standard CD...look at this mess
Fortunately, I was able to purchase the original SONY single layered SACD of Thriller back in 2007 for under $12 [Used, MINT condition] and I think it sounds 'appropriately' superb on my main system.
But I do look forward to a remastered multichannel version whenever the powers that be decide to do a proper non compressed remaster due [actually overdue] one of SONY's biggest mega stars. Whether SONY decides to incorporate the entire album into their Dolby Atmos 7.1 VIDEO BD~V or UHD 4K BD~V of THRILLER will be anyone's guess.
Clint, those 96/24 DR scores of Thriller are pitiful and if it was ported over from the master tapes utilized for the SACD, that's certainly NOT what I'm hearing on my system.
I sure didn't!Wow, I don't think I knew this was coming in Atmos!
Whoa! Does anyone know who mixed it?They just updated THRILLER on Apple Music with a Dolby Atmos mix, I guess in celebration of Thriller 40. Not sure if it's any good though.
Yes, please!Can we get MJ in lossless surround? Still salty about the cancelled SACD.
Yes, please!
And while they're at it, I wouldn't mind a bonus of Thriller, Beat It and Billie Jean recently rescaned to 4K.
...with remastered 2D 1080p of all the music videos AND the John Landis 3D remastering of Thriller. It would sell VERY VERY well. Doesn't Sony and the Jackson Estate want my money?But why oh why no Atmos stand-alone Blu-ray?
