Eighties reissue news: Frankie Goes to Hollywood classics heading to vinyl and CD soon

Here is some exciting news for 1980s pop and rock music fans like myself - especially ones who don't own the following three titles on physical formats.

Frankie Goes to Hollywood will be reissuing their catalog of releases on CD and vinyl in America on January 22, 2021 (it will be released everywhere else on Dec. 11, 2020).

Their legendary debut Welcome to the Pleasuredome was produced by Trevor Horn and originally released on October 29, 1984. A chart topping album, it included the hits “Relax”, “Two Tribes” and “The Power Of Love” - plus an audacious cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run."

Released in October 1986 and proving to be their second and final album, Liverpool was produced by Trevor Horn’s studio engineer, Stephen Lipson and yielded the UK hits “Rage Hard”, “Warriors of The Wasteland” and “Watching The Wildlife.” After a lengthy world tour that saw the album reach the Top 10 charts worldwide, Holly Johnson left the band, thus ending their short but indelible reign of the charts.

Bang! The Greatest Hits of Frankie Goes to Hollywood was released a few years after in 1993 and collects all their hits.
