Everything about Cheapness And Beauty totally explained
Cheapness and Beauty is a
1995 album by
Boy George. The album opens with a
cover version of
Iggy Pop's "Funtime", which reached #45 in the
UK Singles Chart. Also featured is the ballad "Il Adore" (later featured on the
soundtrack album
Taboo) which peaked at #50, and "Same Thing in Reverse", which reached #56 in the
UK and #28 on the
Billboard dance charts in the
US.
The album includes many fans' favourite tracks like "If I Could Fly", "God Don't Hold A Grudge" and "Unfinished Business". It was released at the same time as George's autobiography, named "Take It Like A Man".
The album received some good reviews but the sales were not as high as during his earlier Culture Club fame. Some sources have accused Virgin Records for not promoting the record.
This was George's last original studio album on Virgin.
