Description

George Michael – Faith
Columbia C 40867
VERY EARLY U.S. PRESSING – 1987

Up for sale is a VERY EARLY PRESSING of George Michael’s landmark 1987 album Faith.

This is an original 1987 Columbia retail copy — NOT a reissue, NOT a club pressing.

⸻

Condition note: Sleeve presents beautifully overall with just one small ~1” light fold/crease visible on the cover, plus very minor corner imperfections on two corners. The original insert is included and fully intact, with a small tear on each side (see photos for close-up detail). All flaws are clearly photographed for full transparency. Overall, still an exceptionally clean and well-preserved VERY EARLY PRESSING copy.

🔥 VERY EARLY PRESSING DETAILS:
• Side A: AL 40867-1A (VERY EARLY lacquer)
• Side B: BL 40867-1D
• “Vlado” etched in deadwax (cut by Vlado Meller)
• Stamped “D”
• Manufactured by Columbia Records
• Barcode present
• Discogs Release ID: 4504601

The -1A matrix on Side A confirms this is from the VERY EARLY production run.

This is not a later 90s repress or modern reissue — this is a true 1987 VERY EARLY pressing.

⸻

💿 Condition (Collector Grade)
• Vinyl: Near Mint
• Sleeve: Near Mint
• Original lyric/photo inner sleeve included
• Insert and photo present
• Clean labels, full gloss, extremely well preserved

⸻

This is a VERY EARLY PRESSING example in Near Mint condition — increasingly hard to find this clean.

Professionally packed and shipped securely.
