WHITE-LABEL PROMO. Vinyl plays with occasional light-crackles (play-graded). 7" Single. Original picture sleeve looks good; some creasing and light scuffing (front/back); tiny surface impressions and surface abrasions on front. Minor shelf-wear along edges and corners. Opening is crisp with signs of use and some curling. (Not a cut-out.)
Kissing a Fool, by George Michael, is a ballad with minimal instrumentation and a jazz feel, the song was written about Michael's insecurities as a soulmate and partner because of the baggage and reputation with which he came. According to Michael, the vocals were recorded a cappella in one take. Kissing a Fool was the working-title for the album, which later was renamed to Faith. The song reached No. 18 on the UK Singles Chart. However, it reached No. 1 on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks and became a No. 5 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, remaining a fan favorite and being regarded critically as one of his most accessible and honest recordings.
