As solid as the original is, the jazz-influenced live recording by George Michael is exceptional and amplifies the song beyond The Police’s version.

Thankfully, the sibilance isn’t a detracting element on the original studio recording, so the song can still be thoroughly enjoyed via that release.

The three songs removed were Roxanne, Going To A Town, and You Have Been Loved; all are exceptional performances and worthy of inclusion. The DTS-HD Master Audio 24-bit/96kHz edition of the album, from the Blu-ray, was as close to having a private audience with George Michael as I was ever going to get and while I have few regrets about downsizing my collection; this is one of them.

While the original studio recording is marvellous, in its own right, this live performance takes the song to another level entirely; magnificent!

Still, for this review, I’m going to stick with the Deluxe Edition in its entirety, as all songs are featured, but while I consider the first 17 songs to be nothing short of perfection, I intend to remove I Remember You from my digital library for I feel it detracts from the highly polished production values heard throughout the rest of the album.As good as Michael’s studio recording is from 1999, this live interpretation is about as good as it gets. I’m sure they’ve got their reasons for these discrepancies, but from a music lover’s perspective, I simply can’t comprehend why they make things so challenging.

While I never considered John And Elvis Are Dead to be a standout song, although it’s a wonderful studio recording, this live performance changes that perspective for it flows so incredibly well within the live album structure that I couldn’t imagine Symphonica without it. The song is just so soothing, especially as it’s presented in a lullaby style, and Michael performed it beautifully.

release, Music From The Edge Of Heaven, the live performance of A Different Corner captures the soul of the studio recording and is the perfect counterpart to that 1986 release.The records look unplayed, the sleeve has the tiniest bump at the top right corner and a couple of minor creasing lines by the spine but given the dark background they are very minor issues and are barely visible.

The strummed introduction, intermingled with vocals and subtle symphonic elements, sets the tone for the entire album and subsequent performances. That said, treat everything as provisional for the time being and we’ll keep you informed about any updates. One More Try was originally released on Michael’s highly successful debut solo album Faith and it’s a George Michael classic that remains as fresh today as the day it was written and recorded.
