Is George Michael's album "25" going to be released in the USA? I just figured automatically it was. Is this right? Or am I going to have to score it off Amazon as an import? I hope not because that means the DVD won't be reigion 1. Boo.

I saw it listed on a few sites as being released in the states on 11/14, i guess Sony/Bmg figures it will do some bsuiness here since its a collection.
Its weird though because CD universe only lists the video under the domestic releases and then the cd only in the imports and that date is 11/28?

The tracklist is a bit of a lackluster.

The European version of Ladies and Gentlemen was better in terms of tracklist.

25 Y.O.?

This link suggests a domestic/US release. Might be worth it just for the new tracks, and "Shoot the Dog", which was banned from the US. I'm sure the price will be pretty good, too.

The version i really liked is the 3-cd version, i still will have to get it even for a few new tracks, i mean its george and i have everything else

The only george michael albums I bough where The Best Of Wham!, Older, Songs From The Last Century (played that one a lot!) and the singles of Freeek! and Shoot The Dog.

I guess I'll pass on 25YO and buy Ladies and Gentlemen and LWPVOL1 instead

I don't see the point with this release when we've got the incomperable Ladies & Gentlemen

except for the money factor

Well it does have 4 new tracks.
Is 13 bucks too much to pay for 4 new songs?
Thats $3.25 a song - doesn't seem like that bad a deal.
Depends on how you look at it.

Not at all, i meant the money the lable is going to earn from behind it.

It would've been much more better (and artistic) to get an LP with those 4 new tracks + Unreleased before tracks/B-Sides/Remixes/Live Performances.

Even the 4 new tracks got a stronger chance of gettin heard that way by non-fans who are not going to bother buying a "greatest hits" CD twice (as they view it) if you know what i mean

Does he really have that many videos for it to last two discs long?

thedoorkeeper said:

I don't have any of the Wham tracks except for "Careless Whisper" on "Ladies and Gentlemen", so for me it's worth it. L&G seems to have a lot of filler, IMHO. This pretty much gets all the killer hits (not "Monkey", though).

ABeautifulOne said:

? Does he a video collection, too? He has released a lot of singles....Not even all of his hits are on there.

VinnyM27 said:

No "Monkey." No "I Want Your Sex." No "Hard Day." No "Kissing a Fool." I can't even take this compilation seriously. It does have the three best Wham! songs, but you'd still be missing "I'm Your Man."

AlexdeParis said:

No "I Want Your Sex"? I never was that partial to that song, but wow! "Kissing A Fool" was pretty big, too. Oh yeah, "I'm Your Man"....shit, it's missing a whole lot!

Yeah there is a 2 disc dvd set coming out the same day as the cd but I'm thinking of just selling back my Ladies and Gentlemen set for Twenty Five...
