Don’t Look Now, There’s a Monkey on Your Back: “Faith” Reissue Delayed

In what may be the most potent anti-drug message for catalogue fans, George Michael’s reissue of Faith has been postponed.

The singer, recently jailed for eight weeks for driving under the influence of drugs, was to have seen his solo album – a landmark of ’80s pop – reissued in several configurations on September 28. A Legacy spokesperson says the release has been delayed to next year.

Stay tuned for more info as it develops.

I was looking forward to this when it was first announced but after seeing the tracklist for the 2nd disc and the absurd prices for the box set, I’m not too disappointed. It would be great if they would use this time to reassess the product (say take a look at Bruce Springsteen’s Darkness set) but I know I’m fooling myself.
