Outrageous, Boogie Box High's only LP, was released in 1989. Originally titled Outrageously Brilliant, the title was seemingly an homage to Wham!'s debut album Fantastic, which itself was originally to be titled "Brilliant."
Outrageous was initially released in the United States, with SBK Records opting to license the album for worldwide release. The album spawned two singles, "Gave It All Away" and "Nervous." "Jive Talkin'" was appended to the new album, which relied heavily on George Michael-related musicians, Nick Heyward, Mick Talbot and PWL studios for the recording sessions.
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." He is also thought to have contributed the lead vocal for the single "Gave It All Away." Once again, due to contractual obligations to Epic Records, Michael was not credited for any of this.
