Back in the day when music was all that matter to us and collectors were given the chance to goto a store to pick up a magazine and read about what was coming out from their favorite artist or band. Inside each magazine would be beautiful promo ads for an artists new single or new album. It made you feel like you had to get the album because the record ad said it included a bonus track, a poster, a free pin was included, It was a limited edition, a picture disc, what ever it was its was yours and you had to have it!!! This is how singles actually sold back then,. when the record companies would tie in a bonus poster or free bonus track. Those days are long gone. Never did I think the music industry would die this way and we all would be downloading music. All though George still treats his fans to the occasional 7" limited edition picture sleeve or a picture disc or 12" picture sleeve, Why?  because he is a collector himself. Enjoy this journey through time a view all the record ads for all the Boy George and Culture Club to Jesus Loves You singles from 1982-2010. Enjoy the BOY!
