Item: 2 Michael Jackson Albums: Thriller & Off The Wall
Value: Priceless
As I continue to clean house and let go of my record collection (in true Cure fashion!), I had to dig into my MJ this week and part with these two legendary albums. Since they're just gathering dust, I want to give them to folks who will actually play them and dance. I'm giving a piece of the collection each week. If you're interested, jump below...

Congrats to Aysola, who won last week's Elvis Costello Giveaway!
If you are interested in these albums, please register a comment below. ONLY ONE COMMENT PER PERSON - or you'll be disqualified. We'll choose one person at random on Monday to get both, get in touch with you and send out the records forthwith!
2 Michael Jackson Albums - original US issues (gently used)
- Off The Wall - 1979
- Thriller - 1982

i promise to slow dance and moonwalk in my underwear if you see fit to pass these masterpieces on to me and my girl.
oh my - crossing my fingers! :P
oh wow, please!
I would love to have one of these records. My girlfriend is a MJ fanatic and she was super crushed when he died. This would be an amazing gift for her!
What a fantastic collection! The other day my husband commented on how he has no MJ albums on vinyl and now it would be impossible to attain them. Let me help get my hubby's groove back .
Oh man....I would love to have both of these. I'm a dancing machine when it come to MJ :)
Please pick me!
we moved constantly when i was a kid only taking what we could fit in our car. i lost these in our move from michigan to florida when i was 10. i would love to have them again because thriller was the first record i bought with own $. pick me!!
I would give them to my son who is not only a vinyl fan, but a fan of MJ, and not just since he died, either!
how do you enter..?
R*I*P M*J
Michael was an amazing artist. RIP!
All about building my new record collection!
y'know.. when i was 7, there was nothing i wanted more than to marry michael jackson.
I would love these records or any others you want to get rid of. My Dad bought me a record player and I absolutely love lifting up the pin and releasing the needle on the old classics! Thank you and congrats to whomever wins! :)
I remember dancing to these at block parties(do they still have those?) back in the day. Would love to play them again!
oh man! i've been trying to get my hands on some mj vinyl!! i'm heartbroken about his death, seriously. and i just picked up a vintage record player a couple of months ago.
if i could have these these albums i would love them forever and ever.
Oh nice!
I've been listening to MJ all week, would love to have these records!
entry
oh man! me me me. i remember when i had a copy of the thriller music video on vhs. i wrote the exact timing (minutes & seconds) on the side of the tape from when i recorded it. oh please, pick me!
I would love to have these. They would be great for my MJ themed birthday party in a week.
apartmenttherapy and MJ!?!? now, my life is now complete.
Pretty Please! My earliest memory is of my mom holding my hands (in that teaching a baby to walk way) and dancing while the Thriller video was playing on TV. The best part was, while this was going on, my older brother was hiding behind a cane backed rocking chair because that video was too scary for him.
This is one of many memories that flashed before my eyes when I got the bad news that my childhood hero was dead.
I would cherish the records with all my heart.
yes please!
please please please pick me. Thank you!
Awesome.
Oh, just like I remember!
You must have a pretty impressive collection.
thrilled.
My tape broke, so can I have the record?
I already have 2 copies of 'Thriller', but I do not have 'Off the Wall' on vinyl...but oddly enough I do have it on 8-track.
May he rest in peace...
i never win anything, and that's ok, 'cept there's a friend of mine who would love having these treasures. for her sake, i'd like to get 'em!
Oh. My. G*d. I'm not even kidding when I say that Thriller was the first album that I ever owned, and that it perished, along with my father's hundreds (maybe even 1000 ) of records when our house burned down when I was 5.
Please! :)
it would be an awesome reason to break out the record player...
Not only did I grow up on MJ (posters on my wall,buttons on my jean jacket,pleather "beat it" jacket-yes pleather) I am also an avid record collector and have a "music room" in my apartment full of vinyl and turntables.My birthday is on the 18th and I would be honored to display and play these timeless albums on my bornday while celebrating life with my loved ones.LONG LIVE VINYL:-)
Don't stop till you get enough .... Michael Jackson, that is!
My boyfriend, who's 27th birthday is TODAY, is currently serving overseas in Afghanistan. He owns an awesome 70s record player that he bought at a garage sale years ago, and he loves collecting records. This would be such an amazing birthday gift waiting for him to come home later this year - I know he'd be so excited to get these MJ records!!! *crossing my fingers*
I have a friend who is a uber-fan, and was devastated when MJ died. He attended MJ's trail, watching from inside the court room. For this he drove from Kansas City to California with a friend. During that time he wanted MJ's autograph, but never got it. He contacted MJ's agent, and ended up getting on the super fan list, and would often receive signed posters for his birthday. Receiving something like this would make him ecstatic.
I would love to win these. And much better for dancing and parties than most of my vinyl collection.
Yes please!
Me, please! I want!
yes! i want them!
Never heard of him.
Oh my blergh! I'd totally love to win these! I remember blasting "Beat It" when we moved into our dorm room, and that's when it dawned on me that he really was a genius!
how nice of you!
Could I try again?
Fingers crossed for MJ!
Ummm... my earlier post isn't showing up... so just in case, here it is again! [I hope this only counts as once.]
I'd take em
I hope I win! I've been wanting to get some MJ on CD, but vinyl would be even better.
Miss him! I was just dancing around to billie jean last week. *sigh*, anyway, would LOVE the records!
I'm selfish. I want them! Blame it on the boogie...
ooh, ooh! vinyl and mj! most excellent.
I've been moonwalking everywhere in honor of MJ. It would such an honor to win!
Well, what can I "Say Say Say"... I "Remember the Time" when I would watch the "Thriller" video and mimick MJ's moves. I thought I was "Bad!" I also watched the video "The Way You Make Me Feel," and I would imagine that I was MJ's "PYT" -- Pretty Young Thing. :) After professing my love to the TV screen, my sister would tell me, you "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'?" MJ is my boyfriend. Since she was no competition to me, I told her to "Beat It."
To MJ, "You Rocked My World" you know you did!
To the MJ fans, "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough!"
My turntable is hooked up and ready to go!
EEP!!!
Oh yes please!!! I've been in constant search of Off The Wall on vinyl forever. i actually skipped work last friday (uh, my boss doesn't read this, right?) to drive to gary and pay my final respects. this man shaped my childhood. i couldn't believe i was as upset about his death as i was...
O O o me me me pick me pleeeeeeeease! Thank you :-)
i wonder if i stand a chance
Woop! send them my way ^_^
maxwell! i still have my record player from junior high! AND a disco ball!
Mamasee mamasay mamakoosa!
I would have considered these priceless even before his untimely passing. always and forever a huge MJ fan :)
Along with many others, I would also love to have 1 of these albums..either one! I was born in 1958 and grew up listening and following Michael...loved him until the day he died. You are something special giving away your albums for free! What a great gesture...
If I didn't already have a turntable I'd buy one just to play these records.
I would give them a great home!!! My record player is freshly unpacked and MJ is the best dancing music.
So D.J. Spin The Sounds
There Ain't No Way That Your Gonna
Let Us Down
Gonna Dance Gonna Burn This Disco Out
gimme gimmeeeeeee
Me! Pick me!
Ooh, these would be fun to have.
Hopefully I will be grooving to MJ soon, thanks to you!!!
I want them! I will play them more and better then anyone else.
"Jermaine stop teasing..."
Love M.J. ~
R.I.P.
Awesome giveaway!
how about me???
COOOOOOOL giveaway!
*crosses fingers*
count me in
I'm really bummed that he's gone now. I'd love to have these.
*jumps up and down*
pick me
Oh man, please, pretty please - choose me!
I moonwalk all the time; wheater, or not listening to michael!
I know I'm dating myself, but one of my fondest childhood memories is of my dad driving me all over town to find a copy of Rockin' Robin. There wasn't a single 45 to be had in the entire town so he bought me the 8-track....then had to buy me an 8-track tape player to play it.
R.I.P., Michael
Me! Me! Me!!
My husband and I just purchased our first ever record player(yeah I have no idea how we've missed the boat all these years!!), and these would be the perfect records to start our collection.
We're both big MJ fans, and would definitely bust out the dancin shoes regularly!
my brother would love these!
my boyfriend is a producer and has been sampling MJ for years in his music and is a major record collector. i'm a journalist who was among the first people to break the story of his passing.
i grew up listening to Michael and i remember my dad's (a recent immigrant from India) first tape-as-gift to me was a Michael Jackson mixtape. His music touched every generation & every nation. I was thinking about how insane it is that my future children will grow up in a world where Michael Jackson is described as the 'late great'. He's been a part of everyone's cultural memory and I just can't imagine how differently future generations will experience his genius..
I'd love to have a piece of that history to share with my kids... PLEASE! i'm begging! I'm moonwalking! I wish you could see how the carpet tiles beneath my feet are lighting up!
Oh please, please, please, I hope it is me. i often host record dance parties in my apartment and would so love these two. What would I give to be that special person! I never win anything so maybe I've had years of accumulated bad luck to be made up in this one extra lucky moment? This is how it should work anyway.
I wrote letters to Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney inviting them to my 9th birthday party. I actually thought they would show. Now that I've put my embarassing and lame story for the world to read, pick me, pick me, pick me (randomly of course)! My children have been getting moonwalking lessons for a week now. I promise to listen and dance!
RIP, Michael. We love you.
Oh man, I'd love to win these!
Oh pick me!! Pretty pretty please?? Pretty???
the one thing i love more than MJ records are free MJ records.
Free records!
oh please! I hope to win! PYT, Don't Stop Til You Get Enough, Rock With You and Thriller are quite possible the best dance songs ever.
I saw the Jackson 5 at the Cow Palace in the early 80's and they were IN-credible. I have my much used record player still and would love to rock again to this vinyl!
Wow! Loved them both when I was younger...would love to own them both now! Please?
PYT sounds great on vinyl!
I would love to add these to my Jackson 5 Anthology collection.
i have had "pyt" stuck in my head for about four days now. i need to hear the song (on vinyl, of course) to get it unstuck. help, please!!
(thanks for the giveaway.)
--chompsky
When TV went digital and I did not - I dusted off my record player and have rediscovered the joy of vinyl!!! Dancing, dancing, dancing....
Ooooh these would most certainly make my "underwear dancing" playlist. Please oh please! I would be THRILLED. =P
Please please please please please!!!! HUGE MJ FAN!!!! You're awesome for doing this. Whoever does get it is very lucky :)
I knew I saved my record player for something!!!
we use our record player daily! We're very much retro people, I used my christmas bonus a few years ago for an antique turn table rather than get an Ipod!
Awesome! We had an all-MJ-all-night at my bar on Friday, and a customer brought in his records -- it was amazing.
Oh please!
Yes, please!!
I won the Off The Wall dance contest at my friend Orisa's sleep over party in 1980. To have the album would be a full circle. Fingers Crossed!!!!!
Those are his two best albums.
capitalizing on timing huh?
Oh,, wow,, This would go to a great home! Thanks for the chance...
oh i love michael so much, i cried for days when he passed. the media was/is so cruel to him. these are really priceless, i would love them!
I cried like a baby at 13 when I received thiller as a gift. I cried even harder at 20 when I found out my mother ditched my album after I moved out! Good Luck everyone!!
awesome
I registered on Apartment Therapy just for this! :) (Plus I really like the site.) Hoping...
so many of my happy moments from my childhood with my younger brother and my mother are centered around dancing to MJ. his music was the first thing i remember dancing to and the first song i ever taught my brother how to dance to was "don't stop til you get enough". he'd ask us to play the "pull your pants up song"...i think he still sings those words! some of the only times i remember seeing my mother laugh during those times were while watching us be silly and dance to MJ. to this day we can still crack her up with the good thriller routine after Thanksgiving dinner. i'd love to suprise my brother with the thriller album when he comes to visit me in nyc for the first time in august.
thanks for being so generous and passing along such a special gift!!
I'm gonna say thanks, but no thanks. Sell them on E-bay and give the proceeds to a children's charity or an AIDS service organization. Keep Michael Jackson's impact and love for humanity going strong - let it move through you.
Don't stop till you get enough. RIP <3MJ
I still have 'Off the Wall' album that I received for my 11th birthday in 1979.
I always thought it was brilliant, but it is even more coveted now, especially after reading all these posts!
pretty please, I'd love to have these records
These will be a piece of rare arts in some years... EPIC!
I like to visit AT everyday, but never registered (guess you had a registration boom due to this!). Hoping to earn them! :'( Keep rockin'!
i must have
I would love to have these. I hope he is finally at peace.
I just graduated high school and there can not be a better gift than Michael Jackson on Vinyl.
. . . and Apartment therapy rocks my world! (I threw in the MJ reference for free!)
What a great opportunity for an awesome win.
MICHAELLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Winning these would be the best thing to ever happen to me. This is true.
MJ!
Ohhh I would love them!!! Thanks for the giveaways!!!
Pick me, pick me, pick me!
great records, i'd love to have them
oh wow! it would be like being a little kid dancing around the house again!
wooohooo!!! pleeeeease pick me!!!! fingers, toes, eyes, ears, nose (every thing)...crossed!
I would love to have these records!! Thanks for a great giveaway!
i dont see a "US residents only" rule so here I goooo!
My parents had both of these when I was a child, one of my first memories is of the Vincent Price rap during Thriller and how it scared me. :-) After MJ died I emailed my mom to see if she still had these albums and she told me she had given all her vinyl away a few years ago. I was so upset.....she keeps EVERYTHING. I've been searching for them online to see if I can purchase them for a reasonable price. Now I am thinking I should buy up all the albums of my youth while the artist are still alive.
oooohhh i would love to win!
Oh me me me please! I already have an awesome salsa collection, this would complete the 70's,80's collection!
oh my! .... Pick me... Pick Me...... I heart MJ and you for this chance.
Oh Yes! I have been wanting these! Thank you Thank you Thank you!
Love MJ
Oh, please!!!! My feet just can't stop the boogie!!
Sweet idea! RIP Michael. You will be missed on this earth.
Wow, Max!
Lucky the person who gets them.
Best regards!
OMG I absolutely love MJ!! I was laid off work Thursday and I came home only to find out MJ had died. It was really the worst day ever.
I would really appreciate these records like you wouldn't believe. I came from Europe when I was really young and I didn't want to learn English but I couldn't resist MJ's music. I even learned part of his dances I would do at school to make friends when I was 4 :) He's a big part of my life and I'm really sad that he's gone but in a way I'm glad everyone around the world is celebrating his music. <3
Good luck to all!!!
They remind me of dancing in the living room with my brother!
RIP MJ! He will be missed but will live forever in our hearts! The world will never be the same!
Please make my Monday the best Monday ever! It would EASILY top the Bears Monday night comeback against the Cardinals in '06.
Want!
I would love to have these
I would be grateful to receive these. . .thank you :)
OMG I'd love to get my filthy little hands on these!
ph wow, what a treasure!
Michael - Your footprints will dance around my heart forever
oh thriller would be wonderful to have!
I would love to have them! Me Me Me please!! Iwant them!
I pray for the entire JACKSON family particularly Michael's mother, children and all his fans that loved him so much.
want MJ on vinyl !
Wow - I'd be honored. MJ has always been the soundtrack for my life.
wow - MJ has always been the soundtrack for my life. Thanks for offering your albums to readers/listeners!
Words cannot express how excited I would be to add these to my collection. Thanks for the chance.
This P.Y.T. need some Michael Jackson in her life.
It would be well taken care of next to Prince's "Dirty Mind" and Led Zeppelin's "IV".
If I won those MJ Vinyls I would play them full blast and show my kids what real music, none of the nonsense they play on the radio today. I've always been and always be a Michael Jackson fan.
~Mom of 5~
WOWOWOWOW! This is so awesome. I hope I win. My brother was/is in love with MJ. He is a legend! This would be the ultimate gift. He claims to have cried on his pillow for a week. Idk about that but he definitely loves his music! It definitely was and is a source of joy for my brother when we lived in the 'hood. :)
Cindy
Michael Jackson's tour in London sold out before I could get my passport and buy tickets. I also wasn't chosen out of 1.6 million people for the Jackson Memorial. I really hope I can finally win something. I love Michael Jackson!
Billie Jean's child support checks left me broke this month.
Winning those MJ vinyls would really make my week!
my record player wants these! (and so do i!)
wow! what a wounderful giveaway! These would make a perfect addition to my collection of records!
Is it ok to participate from Buenos Aires? If so, count me in and charge me the postage if necessary...
I hope this isn't too late! I'm a huge fan of Michael Jackson and would love to add these to my collection!
i miss him already...
Crossing my fingers! Would love to share this with my 9 month old as he grows up!
