Please excuse this off-topic one, but I am due to re-listen to "Thriller" (my very first owned LP when I was a kid), and it seems that this 25th anniversary edition will be just the right time. In addition to the original album are included new versions in collaboration with Kanye West, Fargie and others, and previously unreleased tracks from the Thriller sessions.
That's right, the Japanese edition contains one extra Japan-only bonus track, making for a total of two previously unreleased songs from the Thriller sessions!
The two initial limited Japanese editions both contain a DVD with 3 video clips and a live TV performance of "Billie Jean". The "Deluxe" edition contains a (well...) deluxe booklet of 48 pages (versus the 20-page booklet that comes with the cheaper edition). Of course, the whole is all remastered to this day's standards.
