It is a departure from George's previous style, so be prepared for a slightly dark and melancholy feel to this album, as it is a tribute to his lover who sadly died too young.

This compilation does NOT feature any material from Wham, although 'Careless Whisper', which was originally released as his first solo single, is included. I Want Your Sex" is presented as "Part II – Brass in Love" only, without the more widely publicized "Part I – Lust" section and " Monkey", which was included on the US and Japanese editions, is presented as the single version remixed by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis in the US edition.

Careless Whisper" is the single version, " A Different Corner" was remixed for this compilation, "Fantasy" is the original 1990 version (not the "Fantasy 98" remix which appeared on the 'Outside' singles in the same period).Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse.
