“I never looked at it as a single 'til everybody started saying it was great”: The Wham! song that George Michael called his favourite and he made on his own with a Roland Juno-60 and a LinnDrum

George Michael Wham!.

As Wham!’s two full-length studio albums, Fantastic and Make It Big, are re-released on vinyl - marking the first time that they’ve been available in the format for more than 30 years - it’s a good time to reflect on the making of Everything She Wants, the song that George Michael called his favourite of the band’s songs.

Included on the Make It Big album in 1984, and released as a double A-side single with Last Christmas, Everything She Wants is pretty much all Michael’s own work, and everything you hear comes from either a LinnDrum or Roland Juno-60 (aside from the vocal, of course).
