Twenty five years ago a virutally uknown band caused more controversy and discord with their debut single than any other infamous band before them. When Radio 1 DJ Mike Read banned "Relax", no one could have possibly imagined the notoriety and fame that Frankie Goes To Hollywood would become. Or that the "Mike Read" episode was just the beginning. FGTH burst onto the music scene and became a pheonomena that no one has since matched. The follow-up "Two Tribes" pushed the boundaries even further, now adding a political angle to their manifest and a video that made it onto the TV listings pages. "The Power of Love" and "Welcome To The Pleasuredome" enforced upon their peers that they had the songwriting and instrumental skills that had so far been eclipsed by their attitude and non conformist performances. "Frankie Say Greatest" is the greatest of "Greatest Hits" packages. A single and double CD package which includes the most popular remixes and rare b-sides captures the flavour and excitement this band had upon the music scene. Re-workings of classic tracks such as "Ferry Cross The Mersey" , "Get it On" and "Suffragette City" are listed alongside "Relax", "Two Tribes", "Rage Hard", "Born To Run" and "Warriors Of The Wasteland".
