~ BEST OF ALLE HITS VON FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD - TOUR 2025 ~
 

"Relax" is the debut single studio by English (from Liverpool) synth-pop band Frankie Goes To Hollywood (leader singer Holly Johnson) , released in the United Kingdom by ZTT Records on October 24, 1983. Producer Trevor Horn. Three weeks later it reached number one in UK. One of the decade's most controversial and most commercially successful records, easily ranking among the ten biggest-selling singles ever. A synthetic and haunting song, adorned with a tribal and addictive rhythm. Their provocative sexual themes led them to be briefly banned by the BBC, drawing further publicity. The song was made available in several different mixes, all created by the original production team. Designer and Illustrator: Anne Yvonne Gilbert.

Welcome to the Pleasuredome is the debut studio album by English (from Liverpool) synth-pop band Frankie Goes to Hollywood (FGTH), first released on October 29 1984. Producer Trevor Horn. Originally issued as a vinyl double album, it was assured of a UK chart entry at number one due to reported advance sales of over one million. The album was also a top-10 seller internationally in countries such as Switzerland, Sweden, Australia and New Zealand. Their first three singles, "Relax", "Two Tribes" and "The Power of Love", reached number one on the UK Singles Chart. If you haven't heard it, then there's no better place to start!

 

 

Blast is the debut solo album by the British (from Liverpool) singer songwriter musician Holly Johnson (FGTH’s lead singer). It was released on April 24, 1989 and reached No. 1 in the UK Albums Chart. The album stayed on the charts for 17 weeks. Producer Andy Richards - Dan Hartman - Stephen Hague - Steve Lovell.
