CAN'T "GET ENOUGH" MJ? OFF THE WALL REISSUE, SPIKE LEE DOC COMING SOON

Michael Jackson’s game-changing 1979 LP Off the Wall, the first of MJ’s monumental collaborations with producer Quincy Jones—the record that “invented modern pop as we know it,” as Rolling Stone put it—gets the lavish reissue treatment during Black History Month on 2/26.

The Estate of Michael Jackson and Sony Legacy Recordings will release the exclusive CD/DVD and CD/Blu Ray editions of the album, which will include the original recording bundled with the new Spike Lee documentary Michael Jackson’s Journey from Motown to Off the Wall.

The doc, which gets its world premiere at Sundance 1/24, comes to TV via Showtime on 2/5. It was produced by Lee, John Branca and John McClain.

Off the Wall’s first single, the Jackson-penned groovefest “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”, began his run of joint U.S. and internationally chart-toppers as a solo artist and brought the 20-year-old his first Grammy. The album also boasted the hit singles “Rock With You”, “Off the Wall” and “She’s Out of My Life,” as Jackson became the first solo artist in history to have four singles from the same album peak inside the top 10. The album is certified eight-times-platinum in the U.S. and has sold 30m+ worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time.

Tracklist: “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough,” “Rock With You,” “Workin’ Day and Night,” “Get on the Floor,” “Off the Wall,” “Girlfriend,” “She’s Out of My Life,” “I Can’t Help It,” “ It’s the Falling in Love,” “Burn This Disco Out”
