BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1982
Re-Rip Newly Remastered!
Originally I posted this one on June 14, 2010. But for those who may have missed it or if you are a new reader just discovering BTG. I decided to give this one a new rip with my newer Ortofon Super 30 stylus. This 12″ is also being posted in 24 bit flac for the very first time!
“White Boy” is the debut single by english new wave band Culture Club taken from the album Kissing To Be Clever. Although the song failed to reach the US or UK Top 100, Front man Boy George was still happy because “5000 people bought my song and didn’t even know me.”
The 12″ version of “White Boy” is a different mix than waht appeared on Kissing To Be Clever. Oddly the album version was titled “dance nix”.

Thank you, Paul!
How Timely Paul.
I just pre-ordered the new album last night.
And I’m going to see them on the 15th.
Great news Cdmaniac 🙂
Thanks, Paul! Are you going to see them while they are on tour? I’m going to see them in Oakland on Nov 17!
Would love to see them Christian. Doesn’t look like they are coming anywhere near my area.
I didn’t realize they were touring the usa. Thanks for the tip!
Thank you Paul!!!
You’re welcome Guss 🙂
Thanks!
You’re welcome Woz 🙂
Awesome, thanks v much. 🙂 Can’t go wrong with a bit of Culture Club.
Can’t remember if I’ve asked you before, but have you heard the track where they’re trying to do a demo of Victims, but they all start arguing with each other and walking out in a huff? It’s on one of the box sets….
That is so funny to listen to 🙂 They called it “Shirley Temple Moment” on the box set
Thanks Paul. What’s even more rare is the 7″ version of this song. Do You have that?
You’re welcome Omar. Sorry not at this time 🙂
Another great track, Paul..
Thanks as always for the rip.. 🙂
You’re welcome Ex15 🙂
Another old post re-ripped. Lots of beauties left to get the same treatment.
Thanks Paul.
By the way: how are you feeling?
Thanks Stefano. Feeling ok. Will be having surgery on Monday but I will be making a post tomorrow addressing that.
All the best man! I’ll be thinking about you Monday.
