it is infinitely better than both young guns and whan rap before we go ANY further.

there are also very very few examples of a bad motown pastiche in pop

Young Guns and Wham Rap have more IMPACT (on me)

The Edge Of Heaven just sounds 'this'll do' to me - what might I be missing? this is only based on my memory of it - not heard it for quite a while - can only remember the chorus.

BLOODY OLD CODGER more like

I hate all of those. The only Wham! records that are any good at all are "Wake Me Up etcet" and "Everything She Wants".

You see I was with you until this nonsense about Wham Rap!

Wham The Final is one of the greatest greatest hits records EVER. Not a bad moment (apart from Battlestations).
