Sixteen11 Media is pleased to announce the release of The Ultimate Collector Book: Volume II – THRILLER from 1982 to 1986 exclusively to Sixteen11.com, with pre-order beginning on Monday 29 August 2022 or in-person purchasing at Kingvention in September!

This year, we celebrate the 40^th Anniversary of the Biggest Selling Album Of All Time: THRILLER. So it came naturally to release the fifth instalment in the series focusing on the THRILLER era.

Following on from the previous success of the BAD, Dangerous, HIStory and Invincible volumes, Volume II forms one of the biggest in the series, produced in a two-book box set offering collectors with the most comprehensive compiling of THRILLER era merchandise. Every effort has been made by collectors Fabrice Ancellet and Sebastian Mille to ensure this volume includes as many items from the period as possible.

The two A4 paperback book box set features over 1,000 pages of collectables from the THRILLER period in full colour, split into specific categories to allow for easy searching through the only catalogue of its kind for the era. Tick boxes and a full tabled index give collectors the opportunity to continue to grow their collections while marking of the items which they already possess.

Former Senior Vice President and Head of Marketing for Epic Records Larry Stessel who was responsible for the huge album campaign kindly wrote the foreword for this volume. Author of ‘The Story of HIStory’ Pez Jax also returns to provide a historical introduction for the period.

EXCLUSIVE: A limited quantity of 50 box sets will be available to purchase and take home at Kingvention, The European Michael Jackson Convention on September 17, 2022 in London. Each of the 50 copies will be pre-signed by the two authors.

The Ultimate Collector Book: Volume II – THRILLER from 1982 to 1986 will be available on www.sixteen11.com on pre-order on August 29, 2022 with shipping as early as the beginning of November to make sure fans can get their hands on to celebrate the 40^th Anniversary of THRILLER.
