Colour by Numbers album for sale Product Description
Colour by Numbers album for sale by Culture Club was released Oct 07, 2003 on the Virgin label. Despite naysayers who assumed Culture Club were a nine-day wonder, their second album, 1983's COLOUR BY NUMBERS, not only outsold their debut in both Britain and the US, it's a far better album. Colour by Numbers songs 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. Colour by Numbers CD music contains a single disc with 15 songs. ...See Full Description

Yes 90125 CD (1983)
Colour by Numbers album for sale When Jon Anderson rejoined Yes after DRAMA, he was inserting himself into an unusual situation. Keyboardist Geoff Downes and longtime guitarist Steve Howe had left to form Asia with prog rock vets John Wetton (King Crimson, Roxy Music etc.) and Carl Palmer (ELP). Chris Squire and Alan White brought original Yes keysman Tony Kaye back and recruited vibrant young Australian guitarist/vocalist/composer Trevor Rabin. The quartet had already begun writing and recording, but Anderson was able to insert himself into the proceedings with such ease that the new combination sounds completely natural on 90125.
Mostly, the band was concerned with trimming the musical fat to keep pace with the onslaught of the 1980s. Thus, tracks like "Owner of a Lonely Heart" and "City of Love" are full of samples, splices and almost funky beats and riffs. The unusual time changes and complex riffs of tunes like "Changes" and "Cinema" leave little doubt that this is still a Yes album, but the band succeeds in giving their sound a contemporary overhaul on 90125.
Includes 6 bonus tracks.

Fleetwood Mac Tusk CDs (1979) Top Seller
Colour by Numbers songs This deluxe edition of Tusk includes a bonus disc featuring roughs, outtakes and demos.
No home should be without at least one copy of TUSK. Fleetwood Mac's magnum opus of 1979 is considered by some to be their greatest work. And while you are probably familiar with the hits, you may not realize that this recording is full of gems like Christine McVie's gorgeous "Brown Eyes" and Lindsey Buckingham's rousing and infectious "I Know I'm Not Wrong." Of course, even the Nikei industrial average would sound beautiful if it were sung with Christine's wonderful voice. And Lindsey Buckingham's home recordings that show up here are a virtual blueprint for the indie-rock home-recording scene that would flourish nearly 20 years later. While some records from this period seem campy and quaint in retrospect, TUSK still sounds terrific, thanks to those Dashut/Buckingham production values. But what's up with that marching band on the title track?

From Luxury to Heartache CD (1986)
Colour by Numbers CD music For their fourth album, From Luxury To Heartache, Culture Club jettisoned producer Steve Levine in favor of pop/R&B veteran Arif Mardin, seeking to reverse the commercial decline they had suffered with their third album. When the danceable lead-off track, "Move Away," rose into the singles chart, that seemed like a good decision, and the rest of the album followed through with a pronounced drum sound and a relentless beat. The group's flamboyance was played down, from the relatively austere album cover to the music, in an attempt to redefine Culture Club as dance floor favorites. But previously the group had enjoyed a broad-based pop appeal, and by focusing on one part of their constituency, they ultimately sacrificed the rest. What's more, to make this kind of music, you didn't need a group; all you needed was a lead singer and some synthesizers. No wonder Boy George went solo before the year was out. ~ William Ruhlmann
The final studio album from Boy George and Co. was a truthful swan song as it heralded the now infamous breakup of the band as well as Boy George and Jon Moss's breakup as well with the single 'Move Away' being much more truth than fiction. This edition adds 3 extended versions of singles as bonus tracks.
Recording information: Mountain Studios, Montreux, Switzerland.
Personnel: David Lasley, Wendell Morrison, Helen Terry, Jocelyn Brown, Phil Pickett , Ruby Turner (background vocals).
Audio Mixer: Lewis Hahn.

Kissing to Be Clever CD (1982)
Colour by Numbers buy CD music It can be hard to remember with memories of drug busts and increasingly wacky outfits clouding the issue, but the reason Culture Club became as huge as they did was that their debut album, 1982's KISSING TO BE CLEVER, is an unabashedly commercial and often brilliant amalgam of American R&B and British chart pop. Remember, "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me" was a UK hit before anyone even knew who Boy George was, and for good reason. Even though nothing on the album matches that transcendent single, the pop-reggae-soul-dance grooves are always entertaining and often, as on "I'm Afraid Of Me" and the spooky "White Boys Can't Control It," simply excellent.
American fans should be aware that this CD contains the original UK edition of the album, which doesn't include the hit single "Time (Clock of the Heart)" and has a somewhat less satisfying running order.
Digitally remastered edition of the Glam 4's debut album that introduced the world to the first cross dressing postpunk that made gender bending an art. Includes the hits "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me", "I'll Tumble 4 Ya" and "Time (Clock Of The Heart). The bonus tracks are b-sides from the singles issued in conjunction with the album.
Personnel: Helen Terry, Boy George (vocals); Roy Hay (guitar, sitar, electric sitar, piano, keyboards); Nicky Payne (flute, harmonica, saxophone); Terry Bailey (trumpet); Phil Pickett (keyboards, background vocals); Keith Miller (Synclavier, programming); John Moss (drums, percussion, programming); Jon Moss (drums, percussion, drum programming); Colin Campsie, Denise Spooner (background vocals).

Waking Up with the House on Fire CD (1984)
Colour by Numbers songs Tell-all books and TV shows later explained that Culture Club was slowly imploding under the weight of intra-band tensions and Boy George's increasing drug addiction, but upon its release in 1984, WAKING UP WITH THE HOUSE ON FIRE just sounded strained and odd. Listening to the album in hindsight, its charms are more apparent, and the discomfort of its creation is readily audible in the subtle tension of songs like "Dangerous Man" and the sweeping ballad "Mistake Number Three." George is in fine voice, and the band's playing is as smooth and relaxed as always, but there's no denying that the songwriting is uneven--the plainly imbecilic "The War Song" was a horrid choice for the first single--and there's an unsettling sense of listening to the psychic collapse of a once-promising talent. Waking up with the house on fire indeed...
Digitally remastered edition of the Glam 4's third album with the hits "War Song" and "Mistake No.3" The bonus tracks are b-sides from the singles issued in conjunction with the album.
