Easy Star's Thrillah

Easy Star's Thrillah is a dub reggae tribute to the greatest selling album of all time - Michael Jackson's Thriller. The album was released on August 28, 2012 - a day before the 53rd anniversary of Jackson's birth. In selecting Thriller, Easy Star Records co-founder Lem Oppenheimer says, "We've always tackled the greats - The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Radiohead - but while we wanted to take on another huge album, we also wanted to blaze new trails. In Thriller we found those new trails in a number of firsts for the series: the first album by an American artist, the first non-concept album, the first R&B/soul record, as well as the first release from the 80s."
