Sobre el álbum
La discografía de Culture Club presenta con este álbum de 1984 una de las primeras colecciones de remezclas de su carrera. 'Remix Collection' es una prueba temprana de la importancia que la banda le daba a la cultura de club. En plena cima de su éxito, este tipo de lanzamientos servían para mantener su presencia en las pistas de baile y para ofrecer a los DJs material exclusivo con el que trabajar.
El álbum reúne una serie de versiones extendidas y remezcladas de sus éxitos de sus dos primeros y aclamados discos. El objetivo era tomar esas melodías pop perfectas y darles un tratamiento más rítmico y duradero, ideal para las mezclas de los DJs.
Podemos escuchar canciones como "Church of the Poison Mind" o "I'll Tumble 4 Ya" en versiones que alargan sus secciones instrumentales y que ponen un mayor énfasis en la percusión y la línea de bajo. Este tipo de colecciones son un testimonio de las técnicas de producción y remezcla de los años 80.
Para el fan casual, quizás no sea un disco esencial. Sin embargo, para los coleccionistas y los amantes de la música de baile, 'Remix Collection' es un documento fascinante. Es la prueba de que Culture Club era una banda que pensaba tanto en la radio como en la discoteca.

Letra
When I looked in your eyes Felt the spirit of man Demanding more than just a smile Took a chance for a while Speaking in tongues That float us down rivers The past will remind us All colours we chose When I told you those lies Felt the spirit of love Demanding more than compromise Took a chance for a while Speaking in tongues That float us down rivers The past will remind us All colours we chose Some people say that the way that we live Is out of this place And some people say that the way that we live Is blinded by fate All colours we chose - From Luxery To Heartache (12' Version)

Letra
Do you deal in black money? Do you deal in black money? Do you deal in black money? Do you deal in black money? Fortunes find you. Cross out every emotion. Standing right behind A shadow of devotion. Somebody else's life Cannot be mine. But when you love someone And they don't love you in return. When you love someone, You've got money to burn. Do you deal in black money? Do you deal in black money? Do you deal in black money? Do you deal in black money? I believe that Nothing could come between us. Magic potions, Won't you save them for dreamers? Somebody else's life cannot be mine. But when you love someone, And they don't love you in return. When you love someone, You've got money to burn. Do you deal in black money? Do you deal in black money? Do you deal in black money? Do you deal in black money? Give me some love, But don't waste my time. Black money. I'll love you again, But you must be mine. Black money. Give me some love, But don't waste my time. Black money. Fortunes find you. Cross out every emotion. Standing right behind A shadow of devotion. Somebody else's life Cannot be mine. But when you love someone, And they don't love you in return. When you love someone, You've got money to burn. Do you deal in black money? Do you deal in black money? Do you deal in black money? Do you deal in black money? Give me some love, But don't waste my time. Black money. I'll love you again, But you must be mine. Black money. Give me some love, But don't waste my time. Black money. - Love Is Love3:51
