Description

Jokingly, she shot down the idea of a proposal after she came off stage after the concert, claiming that it would 'would steal her thunder'. As ever, all of the praise for the assembling of this compilation goes to ZTT archivist and passionate fan of all things SPZ, ZTT label manager Ian Peel.

Initially, Frankie, a personal trainer and trainee therapist, ruined the first moment that Andy was first going to get down on one knee when she swapped a day with him to hang out with some pals who were visiting from Ireland. Whilst there isn’t anything mind-blowingly rare on here, what makes this a better compilation than 2009’s ‘Frankie Say Greatest’ compilation is that is feels like it was compiled by an aficionado and not a marketing guy or an accountant. This compilation is replacing my Frankie Said compo', and I even prefer the design over the Anton Corbijn styled Frankie Said. If Frankie were ever to reconvene, in their original line up (which has been attempted but never bore much fruit), would I go see them live?Well, I’ve seen them perform live on TV, especially back in the day, and they never really were that great. But the sun came out as we were on the beach, and he turned to me all red-eyed and said: 'I love you and I can't imagine my life without you'. Nicola Robert said her "heart is aching" and Kimberley Walsh said the loss "hurts so bad" and her "heart is broken". The final ascent of Mount Olympus is very ‘technical’ but Basia says that’s what Frankie was most excited about. On the last kilometre it’s very technical on Olympus and he was very excited about that part as it’s pretty much a vertical ascent using your ropes.

Basia’s day job sees her taking people to the peaks of the Lake District and she says Frankie has always had an interest in joining her. We get the same three versions of Relax (standard, ‘live’ and ‘laser’) the great Godley and Creme directed Two Tribes and The Power of Love, as well as the long version of Welcome To The Pleasuredome.Also, I’ve seen Messers Horn, Lipson, et al, perform instrumental versions of songs like ‘Two Tribes’ and if we are completely honest, seeing those people play those songs is closer to seeing the original performers than seeing Frankie do them, albeit without the amazing voice of Holly Johnson. Her band The Saturdays had been on tour with Girls Aloud, who she credited with helping launch their careers. If you don’t own ANY Frankie Goes To Hollywood in many ways it’s the perfect purchase, combining audio and visuals for those brief years of pop dominance.

We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and improve our understanding of you. You can see in the photo on our walk on the fourth attempt he literally had his hand in his pocket on the ring.So, whilst it may have been cute to have some raw live Frankie, I love the way they’ve tricked us and that the laugh is on me, but also on them. It was on Andy's fifth attempt that he was able to propose to his partner Frankie Clark without her ruining it. I mean, they held a tune and a beat (just) but were more like a very enthusiastic pub band rather than the, albeit brief, global superstars they once were. On our walk when Andy did propose, I'd joked again saying: 'Shall I bring the tripod and not cut my nails if you're going to propose?

It opened with Holly addressing the audience, saying ‘Hello Newcastle’ and claiming that this track went down well in America.

Track 3 is also known as "Welcome to the Pleasuredome" (Alternative Reel) or "Welcome to the Pleasuredome" (A Remade World). The inclusion of two twelve-inch versions of Relax and Two Tribes at the end is appropriate, given how popular these were at the time.
