A Wider Sampling

"I am a tremendous Culture Club fan and I own all of their Best Ofs and other collections. I rate this among my favorites, not simply because it has all the expected hits on it, but because it also includes some of their less well-known songs from their first three albums. If you're an American, like myself, you may never have heard Changing Everyday, I'm Afraid of Me, The Dive and The Medal song, all of which are terrific, but not highly publicized on this side of the ocean. Unlike some of the other collections available that feature Culture Club alone, without including any of Boy George's solo efforts, , it expands beyond what you may already know and offers you a wider perspective on their earlier work and some unfamiliar, equally enjoyable songs to add to your favorites. In my opinion, this cd is a good choice for anyone who wants a taste of some of the music from Culture Club's 82, 83 and 84 releases before they decide whether or not to plunge into the search for the original albums, or for those confirmed fans who just want a track listing that doesn't duplicate the others already in their collection."
