There are thrift shops in town with signs up, seeking to buy Michael Jackson LPs and other "related material."
They do this because people have been coming in since the "King of Pop's" untimely demise, asking to buy Michael Jackson stuff. I understand.
But are Michael Jackson LPs a good investment? Unless they're signed and you have some reason to believe the autograph is legitimate, no.
LPs by an artist as popular as Mr. Jackson got pressed out by the hundreds of thousands. There were a couple of Jackson Five singles (45s) released on the "Steel Town" label in 1968 that are worth a bit, as are the 1981 "Ben" soundtrack with Michael on the top half of the cover and the rats on the bottom and the Spanish-language, 12-inch single version of "I Just Can't Stop Loving You." But "Thriller" and "Bad" basically catalog at $8 in "near mint," which means a typical "very good" copy with some light surface scratching and a little wear to the cardboard belongs in the dollar rack. And always will.

cat being dragged across a blackboard.

Not long ago I found a near-mint condition copy of the LP, “Surfin’ Bird” by The Trashmen! See here:
http://www.wastedtalent.com.ar/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/the-trashmen-surfin-bird-1964jpg.jpeg
if you have to listen to it, then it’s the surfers, hands down
One of the tunes is “My Woodie”!
Where are Beavis and Butthead when you need them?
Way back in the 50s/60s the radio/tv preachers warned about the new jungle moosic that was taking over and transforming the populace into the beatniks and hippies that are mostly history now—Manson still in the slammer, others in rocking chairs in nursing homes and asylums, most long overdosed and on a slab at morgues everywhere—but their hippy offspring are now in control....and the jungle beat goes on, doesn’t it!

Now, who knew that?
I certainly did.
My copy is downstairs.
