Frankie Goes To Hollywood – Welcome To The Pleasuredome (2 x Vinyl, LP, Album, 1984, Island Records/ZTT 7 90232-1-H, Hauppauge Pressing)

Why This Record Matters
Welcome To The Pleasuredome is Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s 1984 debut album, produced by Trevor Horn and built around the elaborate studio production that defined the group’s early sound. The double album brings together “Relax,” “Two Tribes,” “The Power Of Love,” and the extended title track alongside interpretations of songs including “War” and Bruce Springsteen’s “Born To Run.” Its combination of new wave, synth-pop, rock instrumentation, and large-scale production places it firmly within the distinctive sound of the mid-1980s ZTT era.
