The Best of Culture Club
is a superb budget-line collection, a ten-track disc that has absolutely no filler and every one of their Top 40 hits --
"Do You Really Want to Hurt Me,"
"Time (Clock of the Heart),"
"I'll Tumble 4 Ya,"
"Church of the Poison Mind,"
"Karma Chameleon,"
"Miss Me Blind,"
"It's a Miracle,"
"The War Song"
(which isn't on the more extensive
At Worst
) and
"Move Away."
It's unfortunate that the sampled
Malcolm McLaren
intro to
is still tacked onto this collection (the only problem is, it arrives in from of
"Do You Really...,"
which isn't at the beginning of the disc), but this budget-priced disc, in many ways, is an even better overview for most fans than its big brother. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
