Listen Without Prejudice Vol.

1 is the second solo studio album by the English

singer-songwriter George Michael, released on 3 September 1990 by Columbia
Records (Epic Records in the UK). The album was Michael's final album of all-new
material on Columbia until 2004's Patience. Listen Without Prejudice was a stark
departure from Michael's previous album, 1987's Faith, with largely acoustic
instrumentation and a sombre intensity in many of the lyrics and melodies. While the
album topped the UK Albums Chart, disappointing sales in the United States led to
Michael's legal battles against Sony Music, in which he accused the corporation of not
fully supporting him as an artist.[2]

Listen Without Prejudice was reissued across a number of formats on 20 October

2017 and again topped the UK Albums Chart, 27 years after it first reached number
one on the chart
