George Michael: Handwritten notes relating to his lawsuit with Sony,

circa 1992,
comprising a yellow, lined notepad with five pages written by George in blue and black ballpoints, with many deletions/amendments, reading: ...who quite frankly, have little understanding of the creative process. With C.B.S....I felt that I was believed in...as...a long-term artist...whereas Sony...appear to see artists as little more than software...They do not understand that musicians do not come in regimented shapes and sizes...but...are individuals who...change and evolve along with their audiences. Sony...obviously view this as a great inconvenience...they have developed...hard sell, high profile sales techniques...which, in the short-term at least, are very lucrative for them, and the simple truth is that if George Michael, or any other artist for that matter, doesn't wish to...conform to...Sony's...current ideas, there are...plenty of hungry...young acts who will., the 'Expert Perforated Pad', 5in x 8in (13cm x 20.5cm)
