Church of the poisoned mind - Culture Club

'Church of the poisoned mind' was Culture Club's third big hit single, released in spring 1983. The uptempo track has some similarities to Motown tracks, especially 'Uptight (Everything's alright)' by Stevie Wonder.

The single was a number 2 hit in the UK singles chart and reached number 7 in the Dutch Top 40. The band also had their first hit in the USA with this track, peaking at number 10 in the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Found: Disco Market, Den Haag, December 29, 1993
Cost: 1 guilder
Tracks: 'Church of the poisoned mind' / 'Man shake'

  1. Culture Club had 3 US top 10 hits off their first album: Kissing to be Clever.

    Do You Really Want To Hurt Me, Time (Clock of the Heart) and I'll Tumble 4 Ya.

    I don't know if you're using Billboard.com to look information up, but it's very inaccurate. They have left some of Prince's hits off his listing.
