Re-released on vinyl for the first time in more than a decade, the series includes an exclusive picture disc and limited edition red+black marble pressing
George Michael’s debut solo album Faith is to be reissued on vinyl for the first time in more than a decade.
George Michael Entertainment and Sony Music have announced that on 20 February 2026, multiple limited-edition Faith vinyl variants will be available on Red + Black Marble vinyl, Picture Disc as well as 1LP and 2LP black vinyl plus audio Blu-ray.
Few albums have defined an era and redefined a generation of pop music quite like Faith. The influence of George Michael’s 1987 debut solo album continues to resonate across music, fashion and culture. Written, arranged, produced, and performed almost entirely by George Michael, Faith blends soul, R&B and rock into a sleek, emotionally charged and deeply personal sound.
Global Superstardom
The album catapulted the then 24-year-old artist to global superstardom, outselling Michael Jackson, Madonna and Prince, and earning him a Grammy Award for Album of the Year, three American Music Awards and a record-breaking run of four US. No.1 singles, including Faith, Father Figure, One More Try and Monkey.
All of which makes George the only British male solo artist ever to achieve four US No.1 singles from a single album on the Billboard Hot 100, a record that remains unmatched.
Faith has sold more than 25 million copies worldwide, topping charts in over 10 countries, and cementing George Michael as one of the best-selling British solo artists of all time.

Going Green
At every step in the process, aiming to minimise the environmental impact through sourcing sustainable materials and using environmentally responsible manufacturing methods, the vinyl was pressed on Biovinyl, a bio-based PVC derived from renewable sources instead of traditional petroleum-based materials.
The packaging was manufactured using a combination of FSC-certified paper and cardboard from sustainably managed forests, and the artwork was printed using vegetable-based inks. The outer polybag is designed to stay with the album to protect it.
This album was manufactured at Optimal Media in Germany. For every album pressed, a contribution is made to their regional nature conservation project at Nature Park Nossentiner/Schwinzer Heide to support tree planting, forest maintenance and management.
The CD disc is made with 90 percent recycled polycarbonate and packaged in FSC-certified materials from sustainably managed forests, and the artwork was printed using vegetable-based inks.
