Ladies & Gentlemen is a definitive 1998 international compilation that captures the evolution of George Michael's solo artistry following the dissolution of Wham! in 1986. This double-disc collection showcases his mastery across musical styles, from heartfelt ballads to dancefloor anthems. The first disc, 'for the heart,' features emotive tracks like 'Jesus to a Child' and 'A Different Corner,' while the second disc, 'for the feet,' delivers energetic pop and dance hits including 'Fastlove' and 'Too Funky.' Notably, this edition includes the bonus track 'As' (a duet with Mary J. Blige), replacing 'Monkey' and 'Hard Day' from the U.S. version, and adding 'Strangest Thing '97' and 'Fantasy.' The compilation also features three newly recorded tracks, highlighting Michael's continued innovation. 'Careless Whisper,' originally released as his debut solo single, is included, though no other Wham! material appears.
