5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, the Culture Club videos are HERE!, May 13, 2005

This review is from: Culture Club: Greatest Hits (DVD)

Don't let the April 28 posting deter you. With all due respect, it was based on the 20 minute Amazon clip, NOT a viewing of the actual DVD.

I purchased the European (PAL) version of this DVD last fall (Virgin Records has a tendancy to release the good stuff in Europe first, then it comes to the U.S.). Based on the cover art and Amazon description, this is the U.S/Canada version (i.e., Region 1) of the European release. Thus, it is the COMPLETE video collection PLUS the A Kiss Across the Ocean concert.

It is an excellent compilation with all of the classic music videos and more. I had never seen the videos for Victims, Mistake No. 3 (check out that GIANT wedding cake!) and The Medal Song.

The complete listing from the European DVD:

01. Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?

5.0 out of 5 stars Very, Extremely Pleased With This Release, June 11, 2005

This review is from: Culture Club: Greatest Hits (DVD)

Culture Club fans, run out and get this DVD when it comes out. It is so nice to see the Culture Club videos from the early 80's. Unlike a lot of other compilations (most recenly Peter Gabriel's "Play"), the producers of the DVD didn't screw with the track list. The videos appear on the DVD in order of release date, at least I think they do. The DVD opens up with "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me," which is followed up by the video for "Time (Clock of the Heart)." It is really great seeing the video for "Time" because it seems like this video hasn't been played on VH-1 Classic or other video outlets as much as some of the other videos over the years.

The videos from the first few albums were very influenced by Japanese Culture, most namely, "Miss Me Blind," "Love is Love," and "It's A Miracle." In the video for "War Song," George is wearing red hair and by the video "Move Away," George is sporting short hair. The new (1998/1999) videos are also included. "I Just Want To Be Loved" is a really great song with a reggae beat.

Yes, the DVD does include the concert "A Kiss Across The Ocean." It's nice to finally have this on DVD. Before the show starts you can see the many Culture Club fans dressed as George or various members of the group. The concert was much more simple than concerts of today or even a Duran Duran concert back in the day. The stage was small and intimate. There wasn't a huge video screen or special effects, George and the band and Helen Terry doing their thing.

Another cool extra is Culture Club Then and Now. There is an interview with the whole group. George is sporting a large hat and dreads. He has been sporting a bald look with paint as of late so it's hard to tell when this interview was recorded, maybe at their last reunion. I'm guessing the interview is from 1998 era? George is wearing the same hat that he wears in the "I Just Want To Be Loved" video. It's a great DVD and a lot of time and effort was put into it. The video quality looks about the same, it is not quite as sharp as I expected.

4.0 out of 5 stars Yes, it IS a video compiliation, May 3, 2005

This review is from: Culture Club: Greatest Hits (DVD)

This DVD includes 17 music videos, including three from their reunion album, "Don't Mind If I Do". The 1983 concert is also included, as an extra feature, making this a great value. I love blue-eyed soul, and Boy George is one of the best in the genre.
