Michael Jackson: "Off the Wall"


This was Michael Jackson's fifth solo LP, released in 1979 at the height of the disco craze. The music on this LP is straight-up disco, but let's face it - it is contagious and ridiculously danceable. "Rock with You" "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" "Burn this Disco Out" "Workin' Day and Night" "Get on the Floor" Come on! I'm tapping my feet just thinkin' about it.


Yes. Glowing white socks. Here's a closer look:

I sold this before Michael Jackson passed away, and a fan in Germany has it now.
