]]> Culture Club “Colour By Numbers” 1983. Culture Club’s second release, it was #1 on the UK charts during November of 1983, eventually going triple platinum. The single “Karma Chameleon” hit #1 in 16 countries and remains one of the best selling singles of all-time. I loved this song so much at the time I named my pet chameleon ‘Karma’ (and I doubt I would have ever wanted a pet chameleon had it not been for Boy George; searching for crickets to feed it was a huge pain in the ass). Also hits: “It’s a Miracle,” “Church of the Poison Mind” and “Miss Me Blind.” The album is pure 80′s pop and infused with soul (“That’s The Way I’m Only Trying To Help You”), though sometimes veers precariously towards easy-listening (“Changing Every Day,” for example, being a bit too smooth for my tastes).
