About this product
Patience is the fifth and final solo studio album by George Michael, released on 15 March 2004 after he re-signed with Sony Music.[2] This barcode is the Japanese CD, Epic EICP-350, released on 17 March 2004 by Sony Music Japan International, the Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) group company that issued international repertoire in Japan.[3][4][5] It carries 15 tracks running about 78 minutes; the last, an alternate version of "Please Send Me Someone (Anselmo's Song)", is a bonus track issued only in Japan, and the pack adds lyrics, Japanese translations and liner notes.[3][1] The pack printed a list price of ¥2,520 including tax.[4]
Sony Music Japan still lists the CD in its discography and shop at ¥2,400 before tax, ¥2,640 with today's 10 % consumption tax; Tower Records Japan lists it at the same price.[6][1][7] Discogs also records a promotional pressing with the same barcode, marked "SAMPLE LOANED".[8] The recording is licensed from G.K. Panayiotou exclusively to Sony Music Entertainment (UK) Ltd., now SCA Music Holdings (UK) Limited.[4][9]
