Format:Audio CD
Frankie Goes to Hollywood were a phenomenon - a phenomenon that went beyond the music into the image, the sleeve notes, the videos, the T-shirts, the hype.
But here, in very minimal and somewhat naff packaging, all that is stripped away. All you get is the music. And the music is still very, very good.
Don't buy the single disc edition with just the 7-inch mixes. So much of the Frankie experience was in the inventive and often innovative remixes, so the second disc is pretty much essential. The meandering, thrusting 16 minute Relax that avoids any hint of the 7-inch mix, the apocalyptic Protect-and-Survive-sampling Two Tribes, the bizarre Nietzsche-quoting Welcome to the Pleasuredome. No one had ever done 12-inches like this before, and few would do with such impact again.
There are two previously-unheard tracks: a pleasant but rather sugary orchestral take on album-track-no-one-remembers Is There Anybody Out There, and a rejected album track Our Silver Turns to Gold, in which Frankie prove that they could have sounded like every other early 80s band if they'd wanted to.
But they didn't. They had a unique sound, and a unique energy. And while this is far from the ultimate Frankie compilation, if you don't have a Frankie CD on your shelf, or you want to relive the sheer force and imagination of those classic 12-inchers, this is essential.

This is nearly the ideal FGTH compilation - it includes most of the single versions that differ from album versions (i.e the proper version of War with all the lyrics intact, the full-length Ferry..., the radio edit of Pleasure Dome). Happy Hi is back in circulation at last (and we should be happy about that). And then there's the odd bonus track Silver Turns To Gold (which doesn't sound like a second album outtake - more like something from Johnson's solo career).
The only disappointment is that they forgot to rescue Disneyland - it may sound like a promising but unfinished song, but it obviously meant something to the band as it was on all the provisional tracklists for the first album.
But it fills in enough gaps to be worthwhile - and if it directs a few casual record buyers to the still-underrated Liverpool album, so much the better.

got this album earlier this week, it's amazing!
I'm a huge FGTH fan but i didn't own a lot of these remixes before as I'd not been able to buy them on CD
you get a lot for your money as well with the new remixes of the classic tracks.
so glad frankie are back!

Good but could be better
There are a couple of tracks missing that would have been nice and some of the remixes could have been better picked
Overall though a good compilation
