📀 About the Record

Victory is The Jacksons’ 1984 studio album, marking the final full-length album released under the group name. Recorded at the height of the post-Thriller era, it blends polished pop, funk, and synthesiser-led soul, featuring contributions from all six brothers and including the hit single State of Shock.

🎧 Listening Character

Slick, high-energy 80s production with punchy bass lines, layered synths, and tight rhythm programming. Tracks like Torture and Body lean into electronic funk, while One More Chance and Be Not Always bring smoother soul tones.

🖼️ Artwork & Presentation

Classic gatefold sleeve artwork by Michael Whelan, with the sci-fi highway motif on the outer and full band photography inside. This copy includes the original printed inner sleeve, lyric/photo insert, and the original UK competition promotional insert — all present and clean.

📊 Condition

Vinyl: Excellent. Clean, glossy surfaces with only very light handling marks visible under reflection. No feelable scratches observed.
Sleeve: Very Good Plus. Gatefold is solid and clean with light edge wear only. Colours remain strong with no splits or heavy creasing.
Inserts: All original inserts included and in excellent condition — crisp, clean, and well-preserved.

📜 Track Listing

Side A: Torture · Wait · One More Chance · Be Not Always
Side B: State of Shock · We Can Change the World · Body · The Hurt · Be Not Always (Reprise)

Collector’s Note: A quintessential mid-80s Jacksons release — less Motown nostalgia, more high-gloss stadium pop. UK copies with all original inserts, especially the competition promo, are increasingly hard to find in this condition.
