I'm of the opinion that the Quincy Jones remasters are considered the best, they are for thriller and dangerous (IMO), I don't however have the Bad Quincy Jones mastered version but I am about to purchase it.
The only one I've directly compared is the original version of Thriller to the 2008 'Special Edition' with all the interview tracks etc on the end. The former is much better to my ears. Just naturally warm and dynamic where the latter sounds a bit hyped, harsh and compressed by comparison (if acceptable in isolation). The pressing wonks over on Steve Hoffman seem to cite the original masters as the best for all titles.
