The best pressing. I just came across this at a garage sale for $2. After comparing the sound to Wham! - Make It Big (2024 European remastered white vinyl reissue), I'd say this one sounds the best.
After comparing the 3, This original pressing has the best sound. The 2024 US Black viny reissue retains about 90% of the sound quality. The White Vinyl, about 85%. They still sound good but there are parts here and there on the original pressing that just sound more alive than the reissues. -
Was nobody (a bit / very) disappointed when - after their first fantastic ;) album their music switched from Funky/Disco to much more main stream pop music? I know I was and I shall always treasure my copy of "Fantastic!" (the title of the 1st album) and my 12-inch single of the Wham rap, with (actually) different version s of their first song ("Young guns was the first single but their first demo was "Wham Rap"). -
George Michael is one talented singer. He just sticks out. My pressing still sounds great. Recommended! -
Need an original insert. Please respond if anyone has one they'd like to sell. Thanks! RIP George -
I got this copy for 12 bucks at a local used book store. I am glad to have this to the collection. -
This is a fantastic pressing, great soundstage and dynamics. I pulled out a half dozen records pressed in 1983-1984, I have a modest set up and this copy blew the rest away! This record was engineered and produced magnificently, that’s why the album has sold over 10 million copies and Wham “Made It Big.”

Also a G1 in the matrix, but a very different set of additions, so much so I thought it was a different pressing. Matches this pressing in all other regards.
Side 1 runout: (faintly) "P" followed by (faintly) "T", then (very faintly) a little circle, then AL 39595-1AE vlado"
Side 2 runout: "BL 39595-1J (PY) d G1" -

I believe this is the version I have, but the runouts read:
Side A: [etched] AL 39595-1C G1 G5
Side B: [etched] BL39595-1F G1 A4
