Michael Jackson - Off the Wall (Ultradisc One-Step LP) / 45RPM 2LP Mobile Fidelity

Michael Jackson's reign as King of Pop begins right here! “Off The Wall” combines funk, disco, soul and R&B in a visionary way! At the beginning of the recording sessions, only one thing was clear to Jackson: he didn't want to sound like The Jacksons.

The legendary producer Quincy Jones did him this favor – the beginning of a collaboration that would shape almost two highly creative decades in Jackson's artistic discography.Jackson was not the sole author of the furious tracklist: Stevie Wonder

(“I Can't Help It”), Rod Temperton (“Rock With You”) and Paul McCartney (“Girlfriend”), among others, participated in the songwriting. While “Girlfriend” only managed to reach the top 50 of the single charts in Europe, the other two releases and the song

“She's Out Of My Life”, written by Tom Bahler, reached high chart positions, especially in the UK and the USA. “Rock With You” and the song ‘Don't Stop Till You Get Enough’, written by Jackson himself, even reached the top of the US singles charts.

The album, on the other hand, broke all records: to date, it has been certified nine times platinum in the United States and sold a total of over 20 million copies – at the time, it was the most successful album by a black artist worldwide.

Numbered and limited to 6,000 copies, the one-step 45 rpm double LP, produced from the master tapes, presents this Grammy-winning 1979 milestone in an audiophile sound that is bursting with energy, clarity, detail and dynamics!
