(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Table of ContentsProduction and release[edit]Critical reception[edit]Track listing[edit]Personnel[edit]References[edit]Production and release[edit]Since neither Tense Nervous Headache or Boyfriend are any longer available, High Hat remains the only place to find any of Boy George’s songs from 1988 to 1989. While High Hat has only ten tracks, the two other albums together included eighteen tracks: nine on the vinyl and twelve on the CD and cassette for Tense Nervous Headache; plus eight for Boyfriend, one of which (the hi-energy remix of “No Clause 28”, also known as “Pascal Gabriel Mix”) would later re-surface on Jesus Loves You’s The Martyr Mantras album.Tense Nervous Headache was shelved in the UK shortly after release of the first single due to lack of interest (or, as George put it in his autobiography,[1] after it “died a solitary death”), despite the singer getting to No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart the previous year with “Everything I Own”. Half of the ten tracks on High Hat were quite unsuccessful singles either taken from Tense Nervous Headache or Boyfriend: “Don’t Cry”, “Whisper”, “Don’t Take My Mind on a Trip”, “You Found Another Guy” and “Whether They Like It or Not”.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4The only track actually taken from High Hat as an independent single in the United States was the US remix of the opener “Don’t Take My Mind on a Trip”; the version of which included on High Hat is slightly different from that originally opening Boyfriend. “Don’t Take My Mind on a Trip” was a club hit in Canada and the US, charting at No. 5 on the Billboard R&B charts. “You Found Another Guy” went into the top 40 of the same charts also. High Hat nonetheless did a little better than its US predecessor Sold, reaching number 126 on the Billboard charts.[2] It was also released in Australia (V2555) and Mexico (LEMP-1640).Critical reception[edit]William Ruhlmann from AllMusic gave the album three out of five stars and wrote that while Boy George was in the band Culture Club, together they “scored surprising across-the-board success with a wild new fashion sense and old-fashioned pop-soul music”, but “as a solo artist [he] seems determined to address a much smaller, more targeted audience”. According to Ruhlmann, in the majority songs on the album, George “wants to engage in thinly veiled confessions set to new jack swing percussion tracks into which he nearly disappears”.[4]Track listing[edit]“Don’t Take My Mind on a Trip” (US Remix) \u2013 5:21 (Griffin)“Whisper” \u2013 5:40 (O’Dowd, Maidman, Bobby Z)“Whether They Like It or Not” \u2013 5:10 (Griffin, O’Dowd, Bell)“You Found Another Guy” \u2013 4:27 (Griffin, Bell, Middleton)“You Are My Heroin” \u2013 6:21 (O’Dowd, Maidman, Nightingale, Stevens, Fletcher)“I’m Not Sleeping Anymore” \u2013 4:20 (Griffin, O’Dowd)“Kipsy” \u2013 6:06 (O’Dowd, Nightingale, Dewar, Geary)“Don’t Cry” (single version) \u2013 4:09 (O’Dowd, Maidman, Bobby Z)“Girl with Combination Skin” \u2013 6:00 (O’Dowd, Fletcher, Maidman, Nightingale)“Something Strange Called Love” (edit) \u2013 3:59 (O’Dowd, Vincent, Dewar)Personnel[edit]Tracks 2, 5, 7\u201310Boy George \u2013  lead vocals, co-production (tracks: 7, 10)Glenn Nightingale \u2013  guitars and other voicesIan Maidman \u2013  bass, keyboardsBobby Z. \u2013  drums, production on (tracks: 2, 5, 8, 9)Amanda Vincent \u2013 keyboardsVic Martin \u2013  keyboardsRichie Stevens \u2013  drums (“Kipsy”)Derek Green \u2013  other voicesCarroll Thompson \u2013  other voicesHelen Terry \u2013  other voicesBeverley Skeete \u2013  other voicesBelva Haney \u2013  other voicesWendell Morrison Jr. \u2013  other voicesJuliet Roberts, Nevada Cato \u2013  other voicesDavid Ulm, Carol Steel \u2013  percussionJagdeep Singh \u2013 tabla and other voicesSimon Tyrrel \u2013  drum programmingAndy Dewar \u2013 drum programmingAnne Dudley \u2013  all string arrangementsKenny Wellington \u2013 brass sectionDavid “Baps” Baptiste \u2013 brass sectionNat Augustin \u2013 brass sectionSid Gauld  \u2013 brass sectionEd Jones \u2013 major saxophoneDesmond Foster \u2013  other bassMC Kinky (Caron Geary) \u2013 toasting (“Kipsy”)Paul Lee \u2013 choir (“Mama Never Knew”)Iris Sutherland \u2013 choir (“Mama Never Knew”)Yvonne White \u2013 choir (“Mama Never Knew”)Jock Loveband \u2013 engineerAlan Douglas \u2013 engineerMartin White \u2013 engineerTerry Reed \u2013 engineerPaul Wright \u2013 engineerRenny Hill \u2013 engineerPhil Legg \u2013 engineerRobin Evans \u2013 engineerMike Pela \u2013 mixing (tracks: 2, 5, 8, 9), co-production on (tracks:  7, 10)Tracks 1, 3, 4, 6Boy George \u2013  lead vocalsLee Drakeford \u2013  backing vocalsZan \u2013 backing vocalsMarsha McClurkin \u2013 backing vocalsMauricette Martin \u2013 backing vocalsTeddy Riley \u2013 all instruments, backing vocals, arrangementsBernard Belle \u2013 acoustic guitar & backing vocalsDennis Mitchell \u2013 engineerBill Esses \u2013 assistant engineerGene Griffin \u2013 productionReferences[edit]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/high-hat-boy-george-album\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"High Hat (Boy George album)"}}]}]
