This golden ticket of a VHS, that I found knocked me off of my feet. For any Michael Jackson fan it's a MUST HAVE!!!! I got one for my frined and I, it's only like 15 bucks. Originally coasts over 100 bucks, that's if you want the collectors edition, but I have enough Michael merchandise. The product came from a good company it was as it was listed and arrived earlier then expected, and the condition of the tape was good for it's age. If you like Michael you GOTTA get this, it's toooo precious. You won't be disapointed, I guantee it!

I love this video. I grew up at the babysitter's and she played this for us endlessly. Great Memories. Unfortunately the VHS is from 1983 and is now 30 years old, so there was some tracking issues, lines and grainy picture. Not too bad though. Honestly something to be expected in an antique like this.

This is a must have for any fans collection, it tells you about the making of the most iconic short film in history. If you don't own this one fans(Michael's army) I don't know, your collection is incomplete and people who only enjoyed the video while you can get this piece of history, you should see how this genious put this masterpiece together from beginning to end.

Video was great, product quality was awful,

Obviously Thirller is a great movie and Michael is a great dancer. However this is not about a movie about dancing although there are various clips like "beat it" and of course the complete "Thriller" itself. There is lots of background on John Landis and Michael Jackson which is interesting. Our copy came from Galaxy Entertainment very rapidly HOWEVER be aware that the video is of extremely technical quality - the sound and the image was awful and the tracking was *terrible* - lots of static.

I recently purchased a VHS of Michael Jackson's "Making of Thriller". I have to say I have been a fan of MJ since I was a little girl, and I was very excited I was able to find a copy of this tape. I was very satisfied with the quality and the price of the item. Also, the time it took to receive the order was amazing.

My sister and I stayed up late to watch the Thriller video when it was first shown on television. We then rushed out and bought 'The Making of Thriller' as soon as it was released. The VHS tape was sadly lost over the years. I think I lent it to one friend too many! But I always thought I would buy it again when it was released on DVD. I am amazed that this is still not available on DVD. In fact I have been waiting for Michael Jackson/Jackson 5/The Jacksons live concerts to be released on DVD but this has not happened. Does anyone know why? So I bought this VHS tape again instead. Good thing I still have my video player. This video is still fantastic after all this time. Michael was a true professional and had such passion and commitment for his art you could not help but admire him. Note to the powers that be: Please release this and the BAD tour on DVD soon. His fans would love that!

The Making Of Michael Jackson's Thriller [VHS]

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 12, 2017

Verified Purchase

This Video captures and shows the effort, time and detail MJ put into his work as a musician and performer which also shows in the many demo tracks recorded for many of his famous and successful tracks starting from the latter "Jacksons" years way into his latter career. The video is spot-on on unavailing how the "Thriller" video was made at the same time you can see the dedication and enthusiasm to make the project work.

This is a good buy for reminiscing with family and friends when you can set-up the good-'ol VCR and get captivated; it even has the full music video at the very end to give you the official thrill after unravelling all that brought it to this point.

Hopefully it will be released on DVD sometime in the near future to save some people the time of unpacking a VCR which might no longer be in proper working order.

As soon as I realized I could get back this item I had generously given away 6 years ago(Michael, forgive me!),I immediately felt the happiest woman ever! This used (really?) VHS is not only in perfect conditions, but has also the power to send you back to the magic 80s. And what can be a better witness of those years than this Michael Jackson's legendary video? My naive and enthusiastic expectations were immediately fulfilled since the very moment I saw the package (absolutely new!)but my deepest joy for a dream come true again was actually satisfied by the very good quality of the tape. I warmly invite those M.J.'s fans who still miss "The making of Thriller" and like to save money to trust the "used items" proposed by Amazon.co.

This is great, glad to have this, but i wish it was on DVD - why isn't it? Oh, perhaps cos they want everyone to buy up all the old stuff then re-buy it when they decide to put dvd's of everything out! Creating demand, i suppose is a marketing strategy!
