Originally recorded by the sadly-missed superstar in the late ’80s, ‘Fantasy’ was originally slated to appear on Michael’s senminal ‘Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1’. The song nevber made it onto that record, although it did appear as a b-side on both sides of the Atlantic.
Now – reworked by George and the legendary Nile Rodgers in 2016 – ‘Fantasy’ is finally set to be a smash hit in its own right.
The ‘Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1’ limited edition 3CD+DVD deluxe set includes the ground-breaking album (remastered), the captivating MTV Unplugged live show from 1996, a 16 track bonus CD of mixes, B sides and alternate versions and a DVD featuring the Listen Without Prejudice South Bank Show Special documentary. A 32 page book containing sleevenotes and photos completes the package.
