Fondly remembered as the No 1 album that really started it all for Michael moving out of theatre into being a recording artist, there’s much to enjoy here. Not only does it boast ‘Love Changes Everything’ and ‘One Step Out Of Time’, there are some really good tracks here like the impassioned ‘It’s Still You’, the breezy ‘Holland Park’ and ‘No One Cries Anymore’ which is another excellent example of how well Michael can deliver a ballad.
Another album you can’t find available to stream or download, you can still find the CD but do note that the studio version of ‘One Step Out Of Time’ can’t live with the more Rock orientated version Michael does live. Also, the other Eurovision contenders ‘As Dreams Go By’ and ‘Who Needs To Know’ are typically lightweight and very much of their time, and the album’s production is a far cry from the more lavish sound on later records.
