“Jesus To A Child” is also an obvious highlight for its dramatic Latin barroom feel. We personally prefer the vinyl version, because the bassline on it just pops. The PUAE cores base height is 288 for PAL single line. Said song is ‘the’ big single from said album, and until now, new appreciation for it can be gleaned from the 2022 remastered version. Essentially, it was a repackaged Amiga 1200 with a built-in CD-ROM drive and a bespoke 6-button. And while at his core, he was a soulful R&B singer, “Older” was where he embraced new styles with an emphasis on modern R&B-inflected dance tunes with club-ready beats to which “Fastlove” immediately comes to mind.

Starting with his reinvention during the “Faith” phase of his career, “Older” was but another step in his pop musical evolution. During this time of his career, George Michael has already proven himself to be quite the chameleon. The set also includes a 5-CD version that includes more remixes of hits such as “Freedom” and “I’m Your Man” and a Michael’s cover of “Desafinado” as well as B-sides, previously unreleased mixes and other goodies such as the 40-page book and collectible 12” x 12” photo prints. It’s accompanied by the “Upper” set which is mainly composed of single remixes, which gets the vinyl treatment as well. The 2022 box is massive! It includes, for the first time, the “Older” album re-mastered and spread over two 180-gram vinyl on a gatefold sleeve. An expanded version of his critically acclaimed 1996 album. Enter the new Limited Edition “OIder” Box Set.
