Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Welcome To The Pleasuredome (40th anniversary) (Steven Wilson Version)

English pop group, formed in Liverpool, UK in 1980. Members were: William [a=Holly Johnson] (vocals - b.February 19, 1960), [a=Paul Rutherford] (vocals, keyboards - b.December 8, 1959), [a=Brian Nash] (guitar - b.May 20, 1963), [a=Peter Gill] (drums - b.March 8, 1964) [a=Mark O'Toole] (bass - b.January 6, 1964). The band gained notoriety following the banning of [m74500] by BBC 1 Radio DJ [a1072997]. "Relax" was a smash hit across Europe and the USA. "Frankie Says" T-shirts became the fashion statement of the year. Each subsequent FGTH release that year - two singles and a double-LP - went straight in at number one in England. Their follow-up album "Liverpool" came out in October 1986 but failed to reach the sale levels of "Welcome To The Pleasuredome". In 1987 Johnson left the band to pursue a solo career. Following litigation, ZTT lost their claim of contract-breaking against Johnson. Rutherford quit too, leaving a diminished group who subsequently disbanded. The original line-up reunited to play one song, "Welcome To The Pleasure Dome", during the National Lottery's Big Eurovision Welcome concert on 7th May 2023.
