From 1987 and a US Number 1 from George Michael in 12″ form. So not particularly rare or sort after but nice to revisit. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis provided the polished production and remix on a song all about drug addiction (The Monkey) Big, olde late 80’s drum sounds and sampled vocals make each track a good insight into what was cutting edge technology for the time.

If you feel like looking for a RE-UP to take your mind off missing the US after you return from holiday, I heartily recommend this one. Another legend sadly gone too soon, and tragically this song probably has a lot to do with that. But I’d still love to hear the remix skills of Jam & Lewis applied to this classic.
Of course sorted this for ya 🙂
You love your monkey, AND you love me!
Great 12 Inch from the unforgotten GM…
