E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (album)
''E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial'' is an audiobook and soundtrack album for the 1982 blockbuster film of the same name directed by Steven Spielberg. Narrated by American recording artist Michael Jackson, the album was produced by composer Quincy Jones and distributed by MCA Records. The production of the audiobook brought Jackson together with several former collaborators, such as Rod Temperton, Freddy DeMann, and Bruce Swedien.
The ''E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial'' audiobook was released by MCA on November 7, 1982—the same month as Jackson's acclaimed sixth studio album ''Thriller'' despite conditions given by Epic Records, Jackson's record label, that it should not be released until after ''Thriller''. As a result, Epic took legal action against MCA which forced the album's withdrawal. During its curtailed release, ''E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial'' reached number 82 on the UK Albums Chart. It was well-received critically and won Jackson a Grammy Award for Best Recording for Children.
