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 ## Images ![Kissing To Be Clever - Image 1](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/8161gdIy3LL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ~ The Culture Club "Kissing To Be Clever" sounds better than ever! ~ *by L***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2019* 1982, The debut of Culture Club, "Boy George and Company" on Kissing To Be Clever is a decent album all the way through. Updated graphics and liner notes are superb! THIS is what CDs should have been in the beginning.I was very happy to be a part of the 1980s as a teenager, turning "13" in November 1979.If you are a fan of Culture Club, especially in the timeframe of 1982-1986, I highly recommend getting THIS edition to replace your worn out Cassette tape, if you still have those! The original CD is nothing compared to this one. Trade that in, if you can for this nicely done, updated version.Graphics have an overall dark pink, purplish color to the set.** TRACKS ARE ~White Boy (Dance Mix)You Know I'm Not CrazyI'll Tumble 4 YaTake ControlLove Twist (Feat.
