Culture Club - Church Of The Poison Mind (Virgin)

An astute, ear-pricking harmonica intro, George doing his best Stevie Wonder impression and a backing singer [Helen Terry] whose voice you can feel in the pit of your stomach make for a solid chunk of soul that you may not even recognise as being Culture Club. Don't be put off. There's enough modern trimmings here to separate it from the recent swarm of Tamla Motown soundalikes - not least a good tune. For best results, dance and sing at the same time. (Kimberley Leston, Smash Hits, March 31, 1983)
