Frankie Goes To Hollywood

I couldn’t believe what Krisco Kisses was about when I found out.

Weird time of year to hear this, but then it’s one of those Christmas tunes which doesn’t mention Christmas. This is the best mix IMO

I remember reciting Paul Morley's perverted liner notes ("lick the shit off my shoe!" or words to that effect) on the back of the Relax 12" to my family as we were settling down for dinner at the Golden Grill in Limerick. I was 7 at the time.

Fgth had so many amazing remixes. There must have been 4 or 5 "two tribes" ones. I'd never heard that "power of love" one before. Fantastic.

Lovely that Mike Love was able to fill in for Rutherford.

Couldn't get to the end of that. Awful.

I dunno, sounded good to me. And coming on, playing just one song, and it's not Relax or Two Tribes, is pretty great. Definitely in keeping with their original spirit.
