Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 is the second solo studio album by the English singer-songwriter George Michael, released on 3 September 1990 by Columbia Records in the US and Epic Records in the UK. The album was Michael`s final album of all-new material on Columbia until 2004`s Patience. Listen Without Prejudice was a stark departure from Michael`s previous album, 1987`s Faith, with largely acoustic instrumentation and a sombre intensity in many of the lyrics and melodies. While the album topped the UK Albums Chart, disappointing sales in the United States led to Michael`s legal battles against Sony Music, in which he accused the corporation of not fully supporting him as an artist.[3] Listen Without Prejudice was reissued across a number of formats on 20 October 2017 and again topped the UK Albums Chart, 27 years after it first reached number one on the chart.

Production
After the massive success of George Michael`s 1987 album Faith, expectations for his follow-up album were also high. Michael wanted to be taken more seriously as a songwriter,[4] which resulted in a more thoughtful, often moody recording. Like Faith, each track was produced and arranged by Michael himself.

The recording sessions commenced in July 1989[5] at producer Chris Porter`s house, near Guildford, before being moved to Metropolis Studios in Chiswick, London.[1] According to Tony Parsons, Listen Without Prejudice was originally conceived as a double album, with `around sixteen strong originals` written by Michael.[6] By late September 1989, these plans were scrapped in favor of two separate albums, both scheduled for release in 1990.
