If you like Careless Whisper, don't bother trying to hunt down an original pressing. I have had several original pressings from several different countries and they all have one thing in common: they all have noticeable sibilance on Careless Whisper. It is also there on a few other tracks, but not as bad as the above mentioned. The new (2024) Careless Whisper black vinyl 12 inch is decent enough and is very cheap on Amazon.

Clear, punchy, dynamic. The real deal. Original UK pressing for an album mixed and mastered on site. Look no further.

This is a good quality pressing but somehow it sounds less dynamic and flat in comparison to a Japanese release: https://discogs.desbloquearpagina.com/release/1847841-Wham-%E3%83%AF%E3%83%A0-Make-It-Big-%E3%83%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%82%AF%E3%82%A4%E3%83%83%E3%83%88%E3%83%93%E3%83%83%E3%82%B0 -
