4.0 out of 5 stars Boy George's First Solo Effort, February 21, 2000

Boy George's first solo effort was a very eclectic collection of tunes. The album was a flop in the US & a smash in Europe. Imagine that. It includes the singles "Sold", "Keep Me In Mind" & "To Be Reborn". As well as the smash remake of Bread's Everything I Own. (which in my opinon is better than the original) This album mixes rock, soul & reggae as he did in Culture Club.

5.0 out of 5 stars This album can't be "shut down"!, August 29, 2000

This was Boy george's first solo effort, and it is fantastic. The best song is "Sold". It is just brilliant. This song also is very rare in the U.S., since it has been out of print for years. Also, U.S. greatest hits albums never include this song. In addition, greatest hits albums don't included the version of "Everything I Own" that appears on this album. It is slightly different than Boy George albums in the U.S. It is also better and, I am not going to give it away. Also, there are brillinat songs like "Keep me In Mind", "To Be Reborn", and "Freedom". It is a crime I have to review this album as an import. Someone at Virgin America should have went to jail for having this deleted in the U.S. It is a gem and it proved the Boy could hold his own entertainment.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm "SOLD" to this album!!!..., March 14, 2001

I first heard this on ct, and now owning it on CD, I must say its great on both. This was Boy Georges first solo album made in 1987, after he left Culture Club. Although it was a smash in Europe, it flopped in the U.S., because of his then-drug use. Helen Terry joined him for this album. Containing anthems like the title track; "Freedom;" and (my favorite) "Where are you now (when I need you)?). To the gutsy, aggressive "Just ain't enough;" and "Next time." The ballads "I asked for love," "Keep me in mind," "We've got the right," and the funny "Little Ghost," in which he sings in lower octives. And not to mention a "reggae" style cover of Bread's "Everything I own," which I think is better than the origonal. Then closing the album, is the beautiful, heart-breaking ballad, "To be reborn," which makes my heart melt and makes me want to cry. Although George has admitted that when he made this, he was lazy and was feeling sorry for himself, it's my favorite solo from him. I hope you enjoy this album as much as I have.
