Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Welcome To The Pleasuredome

Of the millions of albums which have been recorded, only 15 can make it into The Lucy Museum of Musicians who deserve entry to Lucy's Museum of Musicians and at number 15 we have Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood  (1984).

I have all 7 FGTH's singles, all 7 of their 12 inch singles and both their albums and that is my pension pot right there although last time i looked the value of my vinyl heavy pension pot is considerably less than i paid for them back in the 80's but i live in hope otherwise it's looking for dinner down the back of the fridge when i hit 67.
Frankie, led by Holly Johnson and including a mustachio'd dancer who added very little to the band, landed with a huge and very loud thump in 1984 and i loved them from the start because they were so unlike anything around at the time and everyone was singing along to the controversial Relax song long before it got banned which just made it even more famous, so much so that when the outstanding Two Tribes was at number one, Relax climbed back up the charts to give Frankie the number one and two.
Power of Love then came out to give them the accolade of the first three songs going to number one and then their star stopped rising and they sort of dribbled out a few more singles and then faded away.
Holly Johnson went solo and is responsible for my getting the lyrics to Americano's stuck in my head for the rest of the day everytime i order the coffee of the same name in Costa and last i heard the guy with the 'tache went off to live in New Zealand and released an album called The Cowboy Years in 2010, so that's nice for him.
