That’s why I always get mine from HMV as I’d rather have it on time. I’d use Amazon as a last resort or if I’m on holiday

Just realised that Mothers Talk is also on extra 1984 🤦‍♂️

I believe that it charted in the US two years later.

It's actually the US remix, as it states on the compilation. So practically, like Shout, it sounds a little different. So why do you 🤦 and be so critical all the time?

It’s the exact same song but slightly longer. Joyride US is the same as Joyride UK but slightly shorter. They did this with The More You Live The More You Love, Love Is The Seventh Wave and Should I Stay Or Should I Go. Just heard On The Beach and it sounds the same as On The Beach 88. That’s hypocritical coming from someone who disagrees with track repetition

Bruce Springsteen, Gary Numan, Squeeze, Diana Ross, The Jam, Ultravox, Survivor, De La Soul, Kirsty MacColl. You also missed out the Pet Shop Boys songs Love Comes Quickly and Opportunities as songs that missed all yearbooks. Dreams Of Children should’ve been included on vault 1980 like they included the b side for Karma Chameleon on vault 1983

Vault 1986 should be renamed extra extra 1986

I just looked up on how many Yearbook albums (including Millenniums), on how many albums George Michael opens each album on, and surprisingly (what a surprise!) TWENTY-ONE albums open up with George Michael! This also includes Wham! appearances too.

Now, according to Amazon, Yearbook Vault 1986 releases on 18 September.

It’s been like that since he died because his label seem to want the track 1 or nothing position since he died. Him and Freddie would’ve both been better represented if his label weren’t obsessed with track 1. Before 2021 when Jenny Fisher was compiling the albums, she’d prioritise both artists by putting Freddie on track 1 and George on track 2 or opening disc 2. As for Mike + The Mechanics, it looks like their licensing issues have been resolved. I hope we get Over My Shoulder on 1995 and Word Of Mouth on 1990-1994
