Move away - Culture club



'Move away' was the first single drawn from Culture Club's 1986 album 'From luxury to heartache'. The recording sessions for this album dragged on for a long time because of singer Boy George's addiction to cocaine. Nevertheless, this single became a hit for the band, because it reached number 7 in the UK and number 12 in the USA.

Besides the regular 7" single, the record company released a collectable cd-sized picture disc in a cardboard cd-single-esque sleeve. The picture disc featured a photograph of band member Jon Moss. Both singles are pictured here: you will notice that the regular sleeve has purple blocks, where the cd-sized sleeve has green blocks.

My collection: 7" single no. 2248 / 5" single no. 2504
Found: Disco Market, Den Haag, March 4, 1995 / House of Rhythm, London, October 30, 1995
Cost: 1 guilder / 1 pound
Tracks: 'Move away' / 'Sexuality'
