Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released concurrently with their massive farewell concert at Wembley Stadium, this comprehensive compilation effectively closed the book on the defining 1980s British pop duo. It charts George Michael's rapid maturation as a primary songwriter, sequencing buoyant, upbeat dance-pop hits directly alongside sophisticated, soul-inflected ballads.
