WHO’S THIS THEN? It’s
a band called Culture Club who were lead by the flamboyant, colourful
and determinedly single-minded Boy George (born George O’Dowd in my
hometown of Welling). The band had what pundits might call ”a string of
hits” from 1982 to their (or rather George’s) drug-assisted demise in
1986. George returned in 1987, semi-clean, with a number one cover of
the David Gates song Everything I Own. This was also covered by Ken
Boothe in the early 1970s to similar effect. The rest of the band
consisted of Roy Hay (bass), Mikey Craig (guitar) and Jon Moss (drums).
The band were one of the stream of British artists in the early 80s
taking their New Wave sound over to the States and making a successful
career out of it. Peddling a pleasant mix of disco, pop and reggae
through their brief career, they reformed in 1999 for a one-off album
and tour to pay the rent.
WHAT'S THIS THEN? This is Boy
George & co's first greatest hits collection from 1987. Looking
back it would have been easy for this album to fall flat on its face
after Boy George's sudden appearance on the scene in 1982, peak in 1984
and subsequent demise in 1986. This Time features all their 80s hits
from the debut of Do You Really Want To Hurt Me to the comeback single
of 1986, Move Away. Frankly, given their four year tenure, it’s the only
hits compilation of theirs you’ll ever need
Track List: Karma Chameleon Church Of The Poison Mind Miss Me Blind Time (Clock Of The Heart) It’s A Miracle Black Money Do You Really Want To Hurt Me Move Away I’ll Tumble 4 Ya Love Is Love The War Song Victims I’ll Tumble 4 Ya (Us 12 Remix) It’s A Miracle / Miss Me Blind (Us 12 Remix)
