I no longer have my copy from when I was a kid, but hopefully someone can help answer Brian's question.

I have an early pressing of the Thriller LP. It has the very quiet "oh no" at 2:24.
Back cover: no asterisks or Co-Produced by Michael Jackson credit Side 1 matrix: P o PAL 38112-1E 5 B Side 2 matrix: P o PBL 38112-1G 1 C The database makes no mention of the different mixes. Perhaps it should clarify that the quiet "oh no" is the original LP version, and the loud "oh no" is the 45 & 2nd LP version... assuming that's what we have concluded. |

Wow, that's an old post! I think what I asked was if any
45s used that version because I read "somewhere" that some copies did. But, yeah, the quiet "oh no" is definitely the original LP version and was used on the original CD run as well, pressed in Japan. When America got CD pressing capability, the first U.S. pressing swapped out "Billie Jean" for the "loud oh no" version. And, as with the extended mix of Prince's "Let's Go Crazy," the extended mix of "Billie Jean" was planned as the original album version, according to Quincy Jones's autobiography. |
