The Frankie factory
The complete catalogue of Frankie Goes To Hollywood —
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into your record shops, along came Frankie with this year’s two biggest singles ‘Relax’ and ‘Two Tribes’. But those discs have got more going for them than just platinum sales.

TWO TRIBES
In addition to this lot, the video version of ‘Two Tribes’ features the voice of ex-President Richard Nixon at the beginning —
Oh, and on top of that lot there’s been a whole series of promotion-only items, including a 12" ‘Relax’/’Two Tribes’ double A-side. Unfortunately most of these have only been available to DJs, but if you’ve still got more money than sense you can pick up a 7" copy of ‘Relax (The Last Seven Inches)’ from Stiff/Island Mail Order, 22 St Peter Square, London W6 for a mere four quid.
