Music From The Edge of Heaven (1986) The Final (1986) If You Were There (The Best of Wham) (1997)

The Final is a compilation released in 1986 to summarize the career of British pop duo Wham!. The album was not released in the Americas and Japan, where Wham's third and final studio album Music from the Edge of Heaven was released instead. Four songs from that album appear on this compilation. For many, it remains the definitive Wham! purchase containing all the hits, most of them in their single and 12" mixes. The Double LP version of the album also included B-side "Blue (Armed With Love)".
