The Singles: Echoes From the Edge of Heaven (CD Singles Box Set)

Product Information

Somewhat disappointingly, the UK Top 20 Club Fantastic Megamix and chart-topping Careless Whisper – often credited solely to George but in fact a co-write with Andrew from ‘Make It Big’ (1984) – are both omitted from this release; particularly unfortunate in the instance of the latter, since it featured on their first best-of, ‘The Final’ (1986), and when the duo’s Netflix documentary puts such an onus on his pivotal role within the act. George and Andrew released eleven singles as WHAM!. Incredibly, five of them (Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go, Freedom, Last Christmas, I’m Your Man and The Edge Of Heaven) were British Number 1s. Meanwhile, in the United States, Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go, Careless Whisper and Everything She Wants were chart toppers: remarkably, all three were from the same album, Make It Big, which sold six million copies in America alone. Elsewhere, the boys topped the charts in a host of countries, including Australia, Canada, France, Holland, Italy, Ireland, South Africa and Switzerland! Single 4: Club Tropicana b/w Blue (Armed with Love) (released as Innervision U.K. single A3613, 1983) In 1985, WHAM! became the first western group to perform in China, where two rapturously received concerts broke countless cultural barriers!
