CD 3: Culture Club "Spin Dazzle - The Best Of"

Yesterday I done some used out-of-print CD shopping, and found an unusual 1992 collection by Culture Club that I had never seen before, called Spin Dazzle: The Best of Boy George and Culture Club.

Only a few of Culture Club's biggest hits are here: "Karma Chameleon", "Miss Me Blind", "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me", "Time", "Victims", "Church Of The Poison Mind", as well as "Love Is Love" from the film Electric Dreams. The rest is all Boy George's solo material, which IMO is either hit or miss.

This compilation is similar to the bestselling At Worst...The Best of Boy George and Culture Club, which was issued the following year; one exception being some of George's solo material is featured in different versions and remixes. I have to take a star away because there's nothing from CC's 3rd and 4th albums Waking Up With The House On Fire and From Luxury To Heartache (meaning no "War Song" or "Move Away"). It's not a horrible collection though.
