Product Description
From Amazon.com
Against the cynical, post-punk backdrop of the early Thatcher and Reagan era, Culture Club's debut release Kissing to Be Clever was as refreshing as a scoop of gelato in a heatwave. These were the innocent days when Boy George could still declare he'd rather "have a cup of tea than sex," well before he hurtled to the brink of near self-destruction. Several of the cuts are still amazingly fresh and easily convey the winning charisma that transformed Boy George and his band into a pop icon. Songs like "I'll Tumble 4 Ya" and "Boy-Boy-I'm the Boy" seem tailor-made for the frontman's smooth-sliding tenor, while Mikey Craig's bass grooves pump with dance-'til-you-drop hi NRG. Although relatively brief (the original LP had one more cut than the CD release), the album stylistically hops like a Mexican jumping bean from disco funk to rhumba to reggae and contains obvious filler material. But the gender-bender flair perfected by Boy George announced a unique style that helped define the decade. --Thomas May

Nostalgia in the Purest Form,
By
This review is from: Kissing To Be Clever (Audio CD)
This album will take you back to the early 1980s when British artists were making some of the best music ever invented. You can tell that this album was made when the band members were ambitious, naive, optimistic, and it must be added: in love. In his autobiography, Boy George said a music critic credited this album as the start of world music and it shows. This album is heavily reggae-influenced. You could call it the band's most political work as well. This was back when the band was wearing coordinated, cutting-edge London fashions. This was back when people were shocked to hear that Boy George was a man. The videos from this album were great too. "Time" used to be my favorite song in the world for years. In retrospect, "Do You?" has one of the funkiest bass lines ever played. I also enjoyed "Boy, Boy (I'm the Boy)." [Note: many Culture Club songs refer to boys or men.] The innocence of the time, the band members, and the sound will really touch you. This album should be in your must-have collection.

This review is from: Kissing To Be Clever (Audio CD)
If you are a Culture Club fan who has bought previous versions of this album and are wondering if it's worth buying it for the remastering, the answer is YES! The album has never sounded better, and the bonus tracks are a real treat. Highly recomended!
