At Worst...The Best of Boy George and Culture Club
By:
List Price: $11.98
Amazon Price: $4.86

Amazon.com
At best, Boy George and his band Culture Club were a dizzy mix of camp, drag, dub, disco, reggae, and new wave. The androgynous George rhumba-ed his way through hits like "I'll Tumble 4 Ya" and crooned with white boy soul through their reggae classic "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" as well as the Delta-inspired "Karma Chameleon." At worst, the band had trouble finding direction and the proper vehicles for his smooth voice, producing clunkers like "Church of the Poison Mind." "Move Away" and "Miss Me Blind"--which actually took its chorus from a Japanese whiskey commercial--were Culture Club at their most brilliant. The band knew it wasn't making fine art and rose to the task of crafting flawless pop gems. George's later work didn't have the sense of fun and abandon as his stint with Culture Club, but his remake of "The Crying Game" again demonstrated those soulful pipes. Also worthy of note from his later career is the Krishna-inspired club hit "Bow Dow Mister." --Steve Gdula

Lesser Known Facts
A terrific mix by one of the most independant thinking DJs out there. Boy George packs this cd with rare mixes ( his own ballad "Julian", remixed here into a great house track ) and songs that you just don't hear down at your local disco ( the fabulous "the Dealer"). This is not your everyday DJ mix. And George freely admits that in the liner notes, which to some could be seen as a kind of musical snobery, but in this case he is justifiably proud of this mix.

Classic tracks from Boy George
i was so glad to get a hold of this compilation of one of the most underrated song writers of the 20th century. This mix of Boy George solo hits remastered is a great addition to my collection of Boy George and Culture Club cd's that can't be found on other cd's. "Life my life" is remixed ok...but the haunting song "if i could fly" and the great soulful remake of "what becomes of a broken hearted" are Boy George's voice at perfection. Perfect mix for any Boy George fan or for anyone you think might love this cd!

Cheapness & Beauty

List Price: $16.98

A lively disc that begins with a series of tempestuous guitar-based rockers including a choice cover of Iggy Pop's "Funtime." His voice remains a cracked shadow of its '80s self, but that only adds to the appeal of the title track, "Same Thing in Reverse," and "I'll Adore." --Jeff Bateman

CUSTOMER REVIEW:
High Hat!
One of Boy George's most interesting solo records to date. I first came across this cd at a second hand shop. And wasn't aware that George had made a solo record. I must admit that there are several songs on this record that are "SHOCKING".

Anyway being a huge fan of Culture and George. I brought this record and only liked 3 songs, which are; Kipsy, Girl with combination skin, and my favourite on the record; Something strange called love.

For those die hard George fans, this could be a goer but I recommend Sold as this had much more commerical appeal. However that shouldn't put any fan off from buying this record.

• The 50 Greatest Trailers of All Time
We know them as trailers, but they don't trail anything; they play before the movie, not after it. The name dates to their earliest incarnation, when they actually did follow the feature. The documentary "Coming Attractions" dates the very first trailer to a 1912 Edison serial entitled "What Happened to Mary?" After each installment, a black card with white text would appear to inform audiences "The next incident in the series of 'What Happened to Mary' will be shown a week from now."
