Faith

Product Information

Michael won numerous music awards, including two Grammy Awards, three Brit Awards, three American Music Awards, twelve Billboard Music Awards, and four MTV Video Music Awards. Two Wheels for Life hold fundraising events around the world to help raise money for programmes that enable healthcare to reach rural communities in Africa with reliable transport systems. Michael had already proven the soulful power of his pipes by singing a duet with Aretha Franklin on the 1987 smash “I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me),” but he went even farther when it came to crafting his own material, using sophisticated ’70s soul as an indispensable part of his foundation. Songs were usually written by Michael bit by bit in the studio, often with the aid of technology such as drum machines to help create basic rhythms; he would then develop ideas further from there. Michael was known as a leading creative force in music production, songwriting, vocal performance, and visual presentation.

Our framed original vinyls are Original, each item is hand produced in Manchester using only ‘Museum Quality’ double mounted board. Michael would use session musicians to help realise his musical ideas, otherwise he'd try playing a lot (if not, all) of the parts himself, as was the case on "I Want Your Sex (Part 1)", " Hard Day" and " Monkey". They are dedicated to my family and friends, whose loyalty and time are more important to me than ever before.

I Want Your Sex” was the most notorious example, of course, but even the love songs were strikingly personal and mature, grappling with complex adult desires and scarred by past heartbreak. In 2003, the album was ranked at number 480 on Rolling Stone 's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, while in 2012, the album ranked eight places higher at number 472 on an updated list by the magazine.

One More Try" was a soul song in the tradition of songs by Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder; its lyrics tell of a man who pushes his lover away out of fear of repeating past relationships, only to accept the invitation in the end. However, on the album, the start of "Rhythm One" is slightly different from how the corresponding section starts on the actual "Monogamy Mix" as featured on the previous single release: on the album, the song starts with a synthesized bass and electronic effects, while the drums and programmed percussion come in some seconds later; on the single, the song starts only with drums and percussion. Though Faith couldn’t completely shake Michael’s bubblegum image in some quarters, the album’s themes were decidedly adult. We take intellectual property concerns very seriously, but many of these problems can be resolved directly by the parties involved. In addition to playing various instruments on the album, Michael wrote and produced every track on the recording except for one, "Look at Your Hands", which he co-wrote with David Austin.

During 1987 and 1988, Faith produced a string of hit singles for Michael, including six top-five Billboard Hot 100 hits, four of which (" Faith", " Father Figure", " One More Try", and " Monkey") reached number one, making him the only British male solo artist to have four number one hits from one album on the Billboard Hot 100. Coleman also claimed that Faith is "a concept album of sorts" incorporating "disco groove [varying] from urban thump to slow tropical heat wave", praising it for being "grounded in a passion and personal commitment". After the success of Make It Big, Michael had grown weary of continuing the group, and expressed to Ridgeley the desire that they should split up. This lot is a 12" vinyl 'Faith' autographed in clear black sharpie pen on the front cover by George Michael. In the liner notes, "I Want Your Sex" is listed as "I Want Your Sex (Monogamy Mix)", with the parts titled "Rhythm One: Lust" and "Rhythm Two: Brass in Love", respectively.Now, the iconic pop record is presented in this luxury super deluxe box set, featuring the albums itself on both CD and vinyl, a second CD with a selection of b-sides and remixes and a DVD housing original promotional videos.
