    How is the quality of get on the floor comparing to a US pressing ? some UK MJ pressings have terrible audio quality

      One of my fave tracks off Thriller and is the track that broke the mould of rock being a white orientated style of music. Get on the floor was on Off the wall and still sounds great alongside the newer material. Beat it has the power with the drums and guitars, where as 'the floor' has lots of funk. In my book that is a deadly combination !!
