This is an excellent CD from Culture Club. I had it on cassette tape way back then because I liked the single "Miss Me Blind," but the whole album is great. There a good mix between up-tempo and slower ballads on COLOUR BY NUMBERS and the bonus tracks are good too (although I swear that the title track "Colour By Numbers" was on the original cassette because I have heard that song before). Anyway, I think this was the second album from Culture Club and it proved that they were no flash-in-the-pan.
Their second album, Colour by Numbers, sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. It appeared on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 100 Best Albums of the 1980s and is also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. Ten of their singles reached the US Top 40, where they are associated with the Second British Invasion of British new wave groups that became popular in the US due to the cable music channel MTV.
