Universal resuscitates Frankie Goes to Hollywood
Originally released as a double vinyl album in October 1984, Frankie Goes to Hollywood's "Welcome to the Pleasuredome" is about to be given a new lease of life. A quarter century on, Universal is offering a nice surprise for fans of the Liverpudlian five-piece group in the form of a box set comprising their Trevor Horn-produced debut album along with a bunch of hits, remixes and other rarities. With a release date set for 2nd November, the timing is perfect for warming up over winter with a dance to "Relax", "The Power of Love" and "Two Tribes"!
Once thought of as the "Beatles of synth-pop", Frankie Goes to Hollywood took their name from an article about Frank Sinatra in the magazine "New Yorker" in the early 80s.
