The Wham! collection The Final stands as the most accurate compilation of the duo's hits, even including the correct single versions of hits that were not available on their respective albums. From the early bubblegum silliness of 'Bad Boys,' 'Wham! Rap,' and 'Young Guns' to the singles that made them an international pop phenomenon ('Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go,' 'Everything She Wants,' 'Careless Whisper,' and 'I'm Your Man'), the hits are all here. 'Everything She Wants' and 'Freedom' are included in their single versions which did not appear on the multimillion-selling Make It Big. Also included is George Michael's first true solo hit, 'A Different Corner,' which, along with 'Careless Whisper,' hints at the later, more sophisticated styles of music that would further propel him into international superstar status. To round out the collection are other hits including their last U.S. Top Ten, 'The Edge of Heaven,' their yearly resurrected Christmas single 'Last Christmas,' and the overlooked 'Where Did Your Heart Go.' For fans of their brief but very successful reign at the top of the pop charts, this hard-to-find collection packs the most bang (or Wham!) for its buck.

AllMusic[1]

The Final is a compilation and the third studio album (in the UK) released in 1986 to summarise the career of British pop duo Wham!. The album was not initially released in North America, where Wham!'s third and final studio album Music from the Edge of Heaven was released instead. Five songs from that album appear on this compilation.

The CD edition omits 'Blue (Armed with Love)' and the extended mixes. A deluxe edition of the album was released on CD/DVD and download in November 2011, with the DVD featuring all of Wham!'s music videos, including the video for 'Young Guns (Go for It!)', 'Last Christmas', and a remix version of the video for 'Everything She Wants'. It follows the track listing of the CD, with the exception of 'Battlestations', as it was a B-side and not an official single.
