      Michael Jackson Thriller Album Signed by Photographer

      Michael Jackson Thriller Album Signed by Photographer

          Michael Jackson Thriller Album Signed by Photographer

              • Collect this Michael Jackson Thriller album, with a handwritten memory by photographer Dick Zimmerman on how he captured the famous photos of Michael in his white suit with the tiger cub.

                Released in 1982, the importance of Thriller to pop music and emerging black artists can't be overstated, with Jackson's cool visual style a part of the appeal.

                Zimmerman writes in white ink on the gatefold: "This iconic photograph of Michael Jackson for the cover of his Thriller album is the most circulated image of any human being in history. Michael and I decided that he would love a tiger cub to join him in the photograph as he loved jungle animals. The session lasted 6 to 7 hours with several wardrobe changes - Michael's favorite being the white suit I was wearing that day. As our height and build were about the same there was no problem! Three days later I met Michael at the recording studio where they were finishing the album. Michael was very happy to see the results, but after much deliberation he said 'There are too many good one's, I can't decide' and with that ran to get Quincy Jones to help. Quincy took one look at the film spread out on the light table, and in 15 seconds with total confidence pointed to his choice, 'There's your album cover Michael! "

                History was made that day as it has since become the iconic image recognized all over the world.
