George’s Michael’s glittering career spanned four decades and he sold over 115 million albums worldwide, amassing a series of Number 1 singles and albums, including Faith and Listen Without Prejudice Vol. Praying For Time is the worst culprit – all top end, with a bit of bass, and almost nothing in the middle. Absolutely love this album, but I can't get over the way it sounds on the more acoustic tracks – I don't think it's an issue with the pressing, it's something more fundamental about how they were produced and mixed. In the late 80s/early 90s my girlfriend at the time was a huge George Michael/Wham fan and we used to take it in turns playing cassettes in the car.

A fabulous album, these tracks still sound as great today as they did when it was released back in the 90s. Again, as a new old listener I am just amazed this came out in 1990, with much of it recorded in 1989. The sleeve is printed with valuable information and whilst necessary someone could have the brainwave of also including a non static paper sleeve to sit in the cover next to the cardboard one, if it costs a few pennies more than so be it. VG+ (Very Good Plus): This record has clearly been played before, but has only a moderate reduction in sound quality, despite a possible slight loss of shine and some surface marks. Maybe I should listen to another version just to check it isn't my copy – is there one that people would recommend if I don't like the UK original?

Reading all the negative reactions about this pressing I was wondering what was going on with my copy (which was still sealed). Additionally there seems to be an unusually large build up of static - not sure if this is the composition of the vinyl or the inner sleeve or a combination of the two.

That's why each of our records is first meticulously cleaned and then not just inspected once, but twice, before a sample is play-tested to make sure it sounds as good as it looks. In a career which spanned 35 years, George Michael gave the world the ultimate pop experience with Wham!We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. EX (Excellent): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening of sound quality. Powerful lyrical content and sparse but devastatingly effective arrangements make this probably my second 'go to' GM LP. Listen Without Prejudice is a masterpiece and a reminder of all the music we will never get to hear. I've always regretted not getting this on vinyl at the time and only had the CD version, so jumped at the chance of getting this on release date last week.

Again nothing that the cleaning system can't resolve but be aware if you have a furry critter in you house all hair will seem to fly across the room to cover this platter.

It sounds brilliant on vinyl and I've been blasting that track out to the annoyance of my wife and son for the last few days.Working with a band that is looser and grittier than the Mondays, Shaun Ryder sounds reinvigorated, creating. I was in my mid-teens when this came out and only heard a couple of the tracks, both of them the Funky Drummer songs.
