Well – almost June 2018! Is there any news of a vinyl reissue of “Older”? I’d be happy with a straight reissue of the original album – not fussed about any bells/whistles/remixed versions! I have the album on CD already (as well as a few of the CD singles) but would love to hear a vinyl version (I now have a turntable again after a gap of almost 2 decades!). Unfortunately I have won the lottery as yet so any of the discogs copies are out of my reach (they’re going for outrageous prices!).
So, does anyone have any news at all on this?
This is the most missing vinyl album in my collection. One my fav Pop albums aver, beautiful tunes, amazing production, GM at his best. Sounds already good from a CD, cannot imagine how great it might sounds from a vinyl.
I have this on vinyl and i have toasay iit does sound amazing(no pun intended)
Just managed to pick up a copy of this on vinyl from a second hand store in Greece for 25euros!
Definitely my bargain of the year as the cheapest copy ive seen up to now was £200 on Discogs..
Would welcome a reissue though, one of my all time favorite albums.
On another note, no one has yet mentioned that 28th July 2016 will be the 30th anniversary of Wham! splitting up – hopefully we may see some activity but sadly I doubt it.
brought every cd single from this release for all the non album tracks and remixes
Yes, double 180g vinyl reissue please.. I have been waiting to buy this on vinyl for so long…
Why isn’t this edition called “Way Older”?
Was never a fan of George Michael, but then this album appeared. I happened to hear it as it arrived by mistake, I think, from Britannia Music Club (remember them?) for my brother and I really liked it. Like the odd song here and there besides this album, but this is his best work IMO.
I remember watching the Chart Show (remember it?) on the Saturday morning where they played “You Have Been Loved” as the number one and then announced in the middle of it with their pop up facts that “Candle In The Wind” had just overtaken it. Lovely song and a terrific album.
How do you remove the subtitles from the video please?
Great tribute, Paul. An SDE of this sublime release is a must – if Sony coulc be bothered!
BTW, You Have Been Loved reached #2 not #3. It was released the same week as Elton’s Candle In The Wind ’97 but didn’t stand a chance against the massive success of that song! A shame, as it would have easily been #1 in any other week.
Yes I seem to remember it getting to no 2 as well. I actually loved that single, but it is an incredibly sad song. I played Older recently for the first time in ages. It is a great album but somehow it has dated more than Listen Without Predujice in my opinion.
Do we know for sure that the anniversary album due this year is LWP? Older would make more sense given that it is 20 years since it’s release.
As mentioned, who would have thought that we would only have one more studio album after this one, and a lousy one at that, such a shame given George’s huge talent.
I remain optimistic that George has one more great album in him, let’s hope we get it soon.
Yes, sorry everyone. My mistake about You Have Been Loved, it did indeed get to number two. I have amended the wording. Thanks :)
I do know for sure it’s LWP.
Great news. I cant wait for this, this is maybe number one on my wish list for a deluxe release.
Please let it be worth the wait…
Normal packaging? They were gold discs!
An awesome album and period of music. This album was so successful that it was even promoted over two different Christmas campaigns which is unheard of.
I still have the cover fold out edition of Music Week when this album was first advertised.
The plethora of 12inch dance promos from this era are also so very awesome.
As always for GM music, a very collectible era with some great editions around the world.
:-)
I was working my first day in a major Sydney chain store in Pitt Street (Brashs) when this was released, we had a special deal with the record company to promote it and the front part of the store was filled with stock. We sold over 300 copies before close of business that day, I’d never seen anything like it.
@Kiki, I’m a big fan of the I’m Your Man remix too – the version of Fastlove you’re remembering that segued into it was track three on the CD single, called Fastlove (Part II) and clocks in just under nine and a half minutes.
*gets up to get down*
Also Paul, both discs in this set were Gold both sides. The standard album contained a standard silver cd. Not a bit point but just another detail. I have this SE in my collection.
I hadn’t actually realised this. I thought maybe my discs were ‘bronzed’… :)
“The Strangest Thing” was a single as well… My favourite one!
You did not mention that the cds from this version are gold cds edition. I and think that this gold cds version sounds batter for me than the standard silver cd.
Your comment about Freedom! ’90 made me check Wikipedia for the Australian position – I got quite a surprise! The video got a LOT of rotation on our Saturday morning music/chart shows so I remember it as being quite a big hit. Turns out it only reached #18…! Sure, it’s still top 20, but it’s nowhere near the top 5/number 1 smash I had been thinking.
I love this album. “The Strangest Thing” was also a single, but I think it was a double A-Side of “You Have Been Loved”. Like “Star People”, “The Strangest Thing” was remixed for single release. I prefer the album version. It’s sad he’s only released one proper album since Older.
I think it helped the Older singles that the CDs were presented in quality digipaks with exclusive material, and priced at 1.99 (at a time when a lot were still 3.99). I suspect the same (star) people were buying each single religiously on the week of release, I know I was.
My first ever SDE. Still like Upper more than Older…
The demos for this album are hard to track down but are worth the listen. There are demo’s for Fastlove, Star People, Older, Spinning The Wheel and some others that didn’t made the album such as Disco, Moody and Lonely Nights.
Disco was a track that was to be on LWP vol 2. Moody was the first name for Fastlove !
I really love the remixed version of Star People! Even the Forthright mix of the song is so enjoyable !
To me, “you have been loved” is surely the poorest track of the album…
I remember also being very much excited when “I ‘m your man” was redone at the time of “Fastlove” single, even including a part of it (wasn’t it in the extended version ?)
“Spinning the wheel” and “The strangest thing” conatins also great mixes…
So yes, “Older” had become obviously a masterpiece in the discography of George Michael, after the marvellous “Faith” and “listen without prejudice”, so I was not prepared for the awful “songs from the last century” and the pale “Patience”…
Note, however, that “Star People” charted in a remixed version. Personally, the version of the song he performed on MTV’s Unplugged is my favorite.
I really love this album, I hated Jesus As A Child when it was out as a single but Fastlove was a great single. I bought this album originally as a present for someone else and I played it and funnily enough I fell for Jesus As A Child. I think it is an album that has to be played from start to finish and to enjoy every track!
older and upper is a great set and dirt cheap 2nd hand
Double Vinyl please!!!!
I love this album and can’t wait for a double vinyl reissue. Surely has to happen soon. I bought the Symphonica double vinyl release, very good. But this is the one I want. To be honest as a cd it flows really well, even the lesser tracks. Quite chilled but dark also. No bad thing. Wish he would make another album like this one.
Hi where did you get Symphonica reissue on vinyl? Please advise, I will really appreciate it, thanks.
