Description

Dangerous is Michael Jackson's eighth studio album and one of the defining pop releases of the 1990s. Released in 1991, it marked Jackson's first album without long-time producer Quincy Jones, instead collaborating with Teddy Riley to pioneer the New Jack Swing sound alongside pop, R&B, rock and funk influences. The album became a worldwide multi-platinum success and remains one of the best-selling albums of all time.

Featuring classic hits including Black Or White, Remember The Time, In The Closet, Jam, Heal The World, Who Is It, Will You Be There and the title track Dangerous, the album showcased Michael Jackson at the height of his creative ambition and commercial success.

Pressing Notes

Original 1991 European first pressing on Epic Records, catalogue number 465802 1 (EPC 465802 1).

Issued as a double LP, the first pressing was manufactured in Europe as vinyl sales were rapidly declining, making original copies significantly scarcer than contemporary CD and cassette editions. Collectors particularly value these early pressings for their dynamic analogue sound and authentic 1991 packaging.
