BOY GEORGE Popularity Breeds Contempt JESUS LOVES YOU Unreleased Album Sessions
6-track bootleg 12" EP of the 1992 sessions for the unreleased album, "Popularity Breeds Contempt", which would have been the second Jesus Loves You album. None of these versions were released commercially, or even promotionally; they were leaked from an in-house cassette tape that was circulated late in 1992 as George's "More Protein" label crumbled and Virgin Records was deciding which branch of their label could best present and promote the album.
Along the way, George and principal songwriting partner John Themis switched gears several times and abandoned this project as it evolved from "Popularity" (a hippy-acoustic trip through spirituality) to "Welcome To The Third World" (a dance-ier take more in line with the FIRST Jesus Loves You record, "The Martyr Mantras"), and finally "Cheapness & Beauty" the autobiographical glam-rock affair that DID get issued in 1995 alongside George's first actual autobiography, "Take It Like A Man".
The 6 songs here form the basis of the partnership with John Themis, whom George worked with longer than anyone else in his entire career, and it's interesting to me to listen to these very early songs and compare them to what came later. In many cases, the finished product was missing some of the charm and raw energy of these takes; in a few areas George made the right decision by nixing them. As a fan it's hard for me to admit when ANYTHING of his isn't working right- and it's doubly difficult with this set of songs, they are undeniably beautiful from start to finish.
Tracklist:
If I Could Fly
Am I Losing Control
Sweet Toxic Love
It Doesn't Happen Every Day
In Maya
You Are The Deal
