Michael Jackson set a milestone in the history of pop with »Off The Wall« and demonstrated his extra class as a musician and creative visionary at the age of only 20. With this album, he surpassed all sales records of African-American musicians at the time and was able to set unprecedented records in terms of airplay, chart performance and sales figures with his crossover of R&B and pop. For Rolling Stone, it was clear that Michael Jackson had invented "modern pop music as we know it" thanks to Off The Wall. Above all, however, Michael Jackson had created a work whose perfect symbiosis of entertainment and great songwriting served as a shining example for his black musician colleagues. Back then, at the end of the 1970s, they were still fighting for due social recognition, and the success of Off The Wall gave them the necessary dose of confidence that fueled many great careers. Michael Jackson's reign as the "King of Pop" begins here: The RIAA-certified nine-time platinum album "Off the Wall" combines funk, disco, soul and R&B in a visionary way and includes "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" and "Rock With You". The milestone from 1979 is presented for the first time in audiophile sound: Mobile Fidelity's UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2LP Box Set explodes with energy and plays with outstanding clarity and detail. It comes from the original master tapes, is housed in a deluxe slipcase and was pressed on MoFi SuperVinyl at Fidelity Record Pressing. The packaging of this "Off the Wall" UD1S set does justice to the outstanding status of the album. It is housed in a deluxe slipcase and features a special foil-stamped sleeve and true-to-the-original graphics. Acoustically and visually, this reissue is made for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in everything related to the nine-time platinum album - including the iconic album cover of Jackson dressed in a tuxedo. 1/4"/30 IPS Analog Master to DSD 256 to Analog Console to Lathe
