George Michael’s CD Faith—originally released in 1987—is out with a special deluxe edition.
The album reached several high marks, including 87 weeks on the Billboard 200 albums chart (including 12 weeks at #1 in 1988), a rare RIAA diamond certification (signifying 10 million units sold) and a Grammy for album of the year. Among the hit singles were the title track, “Father Figure,” “I Want Your Sex,” “One More Try” and “Monkey.”
The numbered, limited-edition box set can be ordered now at www.GeorgeMichael.com. It includes a CD of the remastered 10-song album; a 60-page book with interview, rare photos and more; a vinyl replica LP; a DVD with a BBC interview and seven promo videos; and a memorabilia envelope with five art prints, poster, tickets and Faith tour pass.
There are also two other packages. Faith: Special Edition will feature the two CDs and the DVD, as described above. A standard remastered double-CD edition will also be released. Both of these editions are available at all retail outlets.
