Overview
Boogie Box High's first single was a cover version of "Jive Talkin'";[3] released in July 1987 and was originally a top ten hit for the Bee Gees in 1975. The cover reached number 7 on the UK Singles Chart.[3]
Outrageous, Boogie Box High's only LP, was released in 1989. It was released in the United States via SBK Records. The album included the previous two singles, "Jive Talkin'" and "Gave It All Away", as well as a new released titled "Nervous". The latter single failed to garner any chart success.
Michael's contributions to the album were two previously unreleased songs he had written for Wham!'s debut album Fantastic, "Golden Soul" and "Soul Boy".[4] Once again, Michael was not credited for any of this.[5] David Austin sang the lead vocal for the single "Gave It All Away".
