the version i had didn't have the spoken intro to "i just can't stop loving you."
so i guess it wasn't original. i don't know when i bought that CD. i had it on vinyl for the longest.
don't get me wrong... the vinyl and the CD always sound a little different. but i can't say the vinyl of OTW and thriller sound "better" on vinyl. just different. and that difference may be in my head.
but with "bad," it's distinct. the CD sounds muddy or something. (in comparrison to the vinyl).
