Waiting for that day - George Michael

When I wrote an entry about the UK release of 'Waiting for that day' in 2009 (!), it said that the single was not released in Europe. As this entry will prove, that was an embarrassing mistake. 

'Waiting for that day' actually had a worldwide release, but it was a few months later than the original UK release. In the UK, it was released in October 1990, whereas in the USA it was released in February 1991. The European release was even later: in June 1990. What's more: the B-side was different too. The UK release featured the non-album track 'Fantasy', whereas this single, which was made in the Netherlands, features the album track 'Mothers pride'. This difference - plus the fact that this single is in absolutely pristine state - was a good reason to buy it.
