Per Wikipedia, Faith is the debut solo album by the English singer George Michael, released in October 1987 by Columbia Records and Epic Records. In addition to playing various instruments on the album, Michael wrote and produced every track on the recording except for one, "Look at Your Hands", which he co-wrote with David Austin.  Faith's songs include introspective lyrics, which generated controversies about Michael's personal relationships at that time.  The album up for bid is first pressing from Columbia's Carrollton pressing facility and consist of 9 tracks with a run time of 49+ minutes.
The cover is in VG+ condition.  All edges and corners show no significant wear.  There are no split seams, tears, creases or markings.  The front and back covers remain glossy with only faint signs of disk wear.
The paper inner sleeve has one split seam approximately 1 and 1/2" but is otherwise intact.  The inner sleeve has a photo of Mr. Michael on one side and symbols on the other.  There is also a 12" x 12" insert photo of George on one side with track listings,lyrics and production information on the other side, and it too, is in VG condition.
The recording has been cleaned and tested with Audacity.  All tracks were played through and there are no skips and very little background noise on all tracks.  The record surfaces are pristine with no evidence of significant wear such as scratches or scuffs.  The record surfaces retain their gloss.  The labels are clean and intact.  The sound is crisp and clear.  This album has had very limited play and is a high quality recording.
