Welcome to the Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes to Hollywood
“It's thirty -- 30! -- years since Welcome to the Pleasuredome came out. There really has never been a pop band quite like them since. I so wanted one of those "Relax" t-shirts as a kid. However, my mum thought they were too expensive and so did the "obvious" thing and made me one. By embroidering "Relax" onto a string vest.”

"Who, after all, is Paul Virilio anyway? Even the name sounds as if it belongs to a B movie actor, a member of Frankie Goes to Hollywood, a contestant in a body-building competition. I know that 'he' writes books but does such a person actually exist?" –Dick Hebdige
Hadn't heard this for ages, until it was played on the radio yesterday. This is a BIG song, even this 'radio version' but if you've never heard the 13 minute long 12", it's worth a listen too.
This wonderfully, preposterously, ridiculously, gloriously excessive album is 30 years old this month! Frankie says...
Album version is ridiculous. Love it.
