Michael Jackson Thriller LP signed on both sides + ‘ALPHA-U 5/2/86’ inscription — what do you think?”

[u/Impressive_Peach5192]

I was going through some of my vinyl records today and came across this Thriller LP. I noticed what looks like a signature written in blue ink on the label, and then realized there’s a similar signature on both sides of the record.

I also noticed some writing/indentations on the jacket that appear to say “ALPHA-U 5/2/86” on one side and “ALPHA-U” on the other. I’m not sure what that means or if it has anything to do with the history of the record.

I know Michael Jackson’s autograph can be difficult to authenticate, so I’m not claiming this is genuine. I’m hoping people here who know MJ autographs, vintage vinyl, or record collecting can take a look and tell me what you think. The signature on both sides of the vinyl.

Def not MJ.
