For us audiophile-focused music lovers, however, it’s a substantial element for we strive to attain the best possible release. Nevertheless, I may have to try and seek out a vinyl edition, or hope for a reissue, as they’re incredibly hard to come by and go for insane prices on Discogs.

Cowboys And Angels is another George Michael original from Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1. It’s a nice classical meets jazz-styled tune, but it’s the worst song on Symphonica for Michael’s vocal sibilance is far too prominent. Thankfully, the sibilance isn’t a detracting element on the original studio recording, so the song can still be thoroughly enjoyed via that release.
