[On inner sleeve]
Recorded at Ocean Way Recording Studios, Los Angeles, CA
Comes in a gatefold sleeve with printed lyric inner sleeve.
Rear of sleeve states: "Interepak by Shorewood Packaging Co Ltd England" written in same handwriting as the rest of the text on the sleeve. Interepak is a mis-spelling of Interpak. Another (later, but otherwise identical) version exists with a different packaging credit: Thriller
This version is missing the rear sleeve credit '* Co-Produced By Michael Jackson'.
Different from Thriller because the label text is at the bottom rather than the top.

Can anybody confirm whether this is an original pressing?
I am a bit confused as to what the Matrix Variant means, and is there any information on who this version was mastered by? -
Hmm, I have this version (Interepak, 57 on the rear sleeve, and the Variant 2 matrix as above) bit it DOES list MJ as co-producer.
