“Faith” has been released in several formats, including the limited edition collectors box set, two-CD/DVD special editions, two-CD edition and an iTunes LP.
The box set includes: “Faith” remastered, a bonus CD of remastered B-sides and mixes, the vinyl album and a DVD boasting interviews and videos. Plus, a 60-page booklet containing an exclusive new interview with George, rare photos and a memorabilia envelope with art prints, replica tour tickets, pass and poster, all taken from Michael’s personal archive.
