Dangerous saw Michael Jackson go in a new direction. The strategy paid off when the 1991 release debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and sold over 25 million copies worldwide by September 1994. Global sales now near 40 million.

Sourced from the original masters, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing in California, and housed in a Stoughton gatefold jacket, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered-edition 180g 33RPM 2LP set presents Dangerous in audiophile-quality sound for the first time. Jackson’s signature vocals come across with incredible transparency and presence, along with the fullness of his range and the soaring heights of his falsetto. You’ll also enjoy expansive soundstages, ample instrumental separation, black backgrounds, and broad dynamics.

Featuring 14 songs, Dangerous includes hits like “Black or White,” “In the Closet,” “Remember the Time,” “Jam,” and “Heal the World.” Each of the album’s nine singles was supported by a unique Michael Jackson short film, later compiled in Dangerous: The Short Films (1993).
