Everything I Own Single

Everything I Own was released in the USA on January 11, 1994. This was Boy Georges follow up to The Crying Game where it became one of Georges first Solo Top 20 hit in the USA. He just scored a GOLD album with At Worst ..The Best Of Boy George & Culture Club. SBK records wanted to make Everything I Own a massive hit for George. So SBK Records had teamed up with producers and remixes Mafia and Fluxy who were just recently in the top 10 with Soul 2 Soul's Keep On Moving.

The single was released on US radio. It did have some minor airplay but Everything I Own  didn't even hit the top 40 it only made a strong appearance on the Billboard Club play chart at 19 where it stayed for 6 weeks on the top 20 dance charts. It was the b side to Everything I Own that was making George hit the charts. Miss Me Blind was remixed and re imagined by Ramp aka Simon Rogers. People couldn't get enough of this remix, Ultimix picked up the song and remixed it also, The last time Ultimix remixed for George was for Live My Life, so this was a big deal. One remix that wasn't released but only on promo only  was the Miss Me Blind Tribal Gender Remix which soon became available in 2001 on "Go Girl!" House Remix Compilation Vol 1.
