Bruce Swedien the 'Thriller' Engineer

“BILLIE JEAN” WAS MIXED 91 TIMES.

Quincy Jones then requested, "'Let's go back and listen to mix number two,'" recalled recording engineer Bruce Swedien. "And we did, and it blew us all away! I had overmixed that song right into the pooper, so the mix that went onto the record was mix number two."
