West and will.i.am involved in Thriller special edition

Kanye West and will.i.am have remixed Michael Jackson tracks for a 25th anniversary special edition of 'Thriller' due in February, with bonus tracks and a DVD.

Kanye West and Will.I.Am have reworked classic Michael Jackson tracks ready for a re-release of 'Thriller' to celebrate the legendary album's 25th anniversary.

The special edition, which is set to hit record stores in February, will feature the original album plus eight bonus tracks, including West's remix of 'Billie Jean' and Will.i.Am's remix of 'The Girl Is Mine'. There'll also be a track recorded during the Thriller recording sessions but never released, 'For All Time', plus new versions of 'PYT (Pretty Young Thing)' and 'Wanna Be Startin' Something' featuring guest appearances from Will.I.Am (again) and, in the case of the latter, fan flinging hip hopper Akon.

The CD will also be accompanied by a DVD, obviously, given this was the era when every Jackson single release was accompanied by one of those "ground breaking promo videos".
