Thriller is the sixth studio album by American singer Michael Jackson, released on November 30, 1982 by Epic Records.

The album features a single guest appearance, with Paul McCartney becoming the first artist to be featured on one of Jackson's albums. Recording took place from April to November 1982 at Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles, with a production budget of $750,000.

BAD COMPANY являются одной из первых супергрупп мира: Роджерс и Кёрк прославились во FREE, Ральфс - в MOTT THE HOOPLE, а Баррел - в KING CRIMSON. Поэтому не случайно, что музыканты с самого начала карьеры оказались под опекой Питера Гранта, менеджера LED ZEPPELIN. Уже дебютный альбом BAD COMPANY попал в британский Топ-3, и до конца 70-х группа пользовалась стабильной популярностью у слушателей. Стиль BAD COMPANY представлял собой упрощенный вариант LED ZEPPELIN, т.е. блюзовый хард-рок с ярко выраженной мелодичной поп-составляющей.

Bark at the Moon is the only Ozzy Osbourne album on which the songwriting is credited entirely to Osbourne. However, guitarist Jake E. Lee maintains that he composed a significant amount of the album’s music but was cheated out of his writing and publishing claims by Osbourne’s wife and manager Sharon. Lee claims that after he had composed the songs and completed recording his parts in the studio, he was presented with a contract which stated that he would have no claim to any writing or publishing relating to the album. The contract also stated that Lee could not mention this publicly.
