Description from the seller

General Information

Artist: Michael Jackson
Album: Bad
Format: Cassette, Album (Original First Pressing)
Release Year: 1987
Label: Epic / CBS
Catalog Number: OET 40600
Condition: Factory Sealed / Professionally Graded
Grade: AMG 8 (Sealed Excellent)

Description

This is a rare opportunity to own a true 1987 first pressing of Michael Jackson’s masterpiece, Bad, on cassette. This is the original retail version, preserved in its factory-sealed state for nearly 40 years.

The "Holy Grail" Mixes: This original 1987 release is highly sought after by audiophiles because it contains the original mixes that were modified or removed in all subsequent pressings and digital remasters.

"I Just Can't Stop Loving You": Features the legendary spoken intro by Michael Jackson, which was deleted from later versions.
"The Way You Make Me Feel": Contains the original 1987 vocal and horn arrangements.
"Bad": The original brass/synth mix.
"Smooth Criminal": Features the original, more prominent heartbeat and heavy breathing intro.

Condition

Status: Factory Sealed in its original 1987 shrink wrap.
Grading: This item has been professionally authenticated and graded by Audio Media Grading (AMG), receiving a high grade of 8 (Sealed Excellent).
Preservation: The cassette is encased in a museum-quality, UV-resistant archival acrylic case. It is tamper-proof and features the official AMG holographic security label with a unique serial number.

Notes for Collectors

Sealed first pressings of Michael Jackson’s "Big Three" albums (Off The Wall, Thriller, Bad) are the cornerstone of any serious music collection. Because the audio on the 1987 Bad cassette differs so significantly from modern versions, it is considered a vital historical artifact. Finding a copy that is both sealed and professionally graded at an AMG 8 level is becoming increasingly difficult as the market for graded media continues to rise.
