3.0 out of 5 stars Good Selections, Terrible Sound!, November 29, 2001

By 

Edgar Freire (Plainfield, NJ United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)

I just purchased this album because it contains alot of tracks that are not included on other Culture Club singles compilations (namely, "The Dream", the four tracks taken from the album "Waking up with the House..." and the funkdafied "White Boy") Unfortunately, the sound level on this import is HORRIBLE: The sound is tiny and poorly mastered. I actually had to turn the volume level on MAX and the sound still seemed unbelievably weak. The sound quality on this CD is its only fault, but not a forgivable one or one that can be easily overlooked, so I think this one is going to end up as a gift. (...)

5.0 out of 5 stars "This is something Virgin America should do!", August 1, 2000

That's right. Virgin America should come up with an album like this. Instead, Disky, a Virgin division in Holland, did this album. It is fantastic, and I would order it now. Unlike the US greatest hits albums, this contains some soul and rarities of Culture Club. It has the soul classic with Helen Terry in the background, "Changing Everyday", with fantastic rarities like "The Medal Song", "White Boy", "I'm Afraid of Me", and "The Dream". The only flaw is that there is no eighties material from producers Arif Mardin's and Lew Hahn's "From Luxury to Heartache". Yet, this album is still worth it. If the price seems kind of fishy, don't worry. The songs are the original versions from the first three Culture Club albums and the "Electric Dreams" sounndtrack. That's right. No concert versions. A masterpiece for a cheap price. Buy it now!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bouncy and Colourful combination of sounds, February 12, 2007

Boy George and Culture Club took the world by storm in the early to mid 1980's, with Boy George's camp and colourful style, and the bouncy disco-Caribbean feel of their songs.

This album has all the best of Culture Club's hits, and is an everlasting ode to their talent. It will take those who were enjoying their music in the early 80's back to those heady days, and should also initiate a new generation of fans.

The highlights of this album, for me, are the poignant and brooding Do You Really Want To Hurt Me, the funky new wave White Boy, the smooth Church Of the Poison mind, the reggae-based The War Song, the positive, celbratory It's A Miracle, the gentle The Dream, the beautiful and haunting Victims, the bouncy I'll Tumble For You, and the colourful Karma Chameleon.
