I am enjoying the new CD Make It Big. While looking at LPs the other day I saw some of the other Wham U.K. LPs and wondered if they were any good. Are there any Wham!! lovers out there that can review previous LPs for me? Also, how long ago did the Make It Big album air on stations in the U.K. (if at all)? Just curious what the time frame is.

The WHAM! (no UK in the UK) LP Make It Big was released last November in the the UK - just in time for the Christmas market. If you liked this LP you should get their first one, Fantastic, released about 2 1/2 years ago. At that time the boys still had street credibility, hence some pretty crucial songs about being "young, talented and unemployed" (eg. 'Young Guns Go For It' and 'Wham Rap'), and their later stuff is quite bland in comparison in my opinion. 'Club Tropicana' is an indication of their impending transposition to the land of cocktail parties and false sun tans, but is nevertheless an excellent track. I hope nobody I know is reading this.
