KISSING TO BE CLEVER was a canny blend of pop and soul, but its occasional cryptic archness kept it at something of an emotional distance. From the gospelly piano ballad opener \"That's the Way\"--which like several tracks here features sterling backing vocals from Helen Terry--to the moving and dramatic \"Victims,\" that's not a problem here. Even the enormous hits \"Karma Chameleon\" and \"Church of the Poison Mind\"--possibly Culture Club's best-ever single--have a soulful ease and swing missing from the debut, although they perhaps lack the emotional heft of the abovementioned songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs with KISSING TO BE CLEVER, American fans should know that this CD features the original British mix and track sequence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2016-08-15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Culture Club","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34310257541179,"sku":"EVP-600753649312","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0375\/2873\/1707\/files\/culture-club-colour-by-the-numbers-180-gram-vinyl-import_y78sH.jpg?v=1776279838","url":"https:\/\/record-stop.com\/products\/culture-club-colour-by-the-numbers-vinyl","provider":"Record Stop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
