2013 two CD collection from the Liverpudlian Pop outfit. Frankie Goes to Hollywood were five Liverpool lads with an explosive combination of dancefloor drive and pop hooks that sent them straight to the top of the UK charts, where they stayed for much of 1984. When it comes to '80s music, theirs is still one of the first names mentioned. Featuring the hits 'Relax', 'Two Tribes' and 'The Power of Love' this fantastic set includes detailed sleevenotes and a fold-out poster. Metro Select.

Failed to survive its own success
Frankie Goes To Hollywood Best Of is the group’s third best-of set, following 2009’s "Frankie Say Greatest". As such its appeal is rather limited, with its forerunner still available on the cheap and, perhaps more pertinently, with no reunion to support its promotion. Unlike many 1980s chart-busters, FGTH are unlikely to reform any time soon, all attempts to date remarkable only for their abject failure. But perhaps it’s right that they remain as a better-in-the-memory act, as once every single had been sliced from debut album Welcome to the Pleasuredome, the band began to crack apart.Just how great this collection is, well, that’s a question that only the biggest fan can answer. Padded out with remixes though it is, it doesn’t markedly improve or expand upon "Greatest", and few will buy three times. But those without the band’s blitz of initial hits really need to get downloading – these are pop landmarks, pure and simple.

Frankie Best Of
Frankie Goes to Hollywood formed in 1980, they were a British band popular in the mid-1980’s. The group's 1983 debut single “Relax” was banned by the BBC in 1984 and topped the charts for five consecutive weeks, going on to enjoy prolonged chart success throughout that year and ultimately becoming the seventh best-selling UK single of all time, It also won the 1985 Brit Award for Best British Single.After the follow-up success of “Two Tribes” and “The Power of Love” which is my personal favourite the group became only the second act in the history of the UK charts to reach number one with their first three singles. In 1985, Frankie Goes to Hollywood won the Brit Award for Best British Newcomer.Because there have been other Frankie compilations (that I don’t have) I was unsure what to expect here. However I must say this is actually much better than I expected and is a great Frankie compilation of their 1980's classic pop, rock and dance music, with all of their hits and some really good remixes. If like me you don’t have the band’s blitz of initial hits I would certainly recommend this album.

Please, No more milking of the fgth cash cow.
I suppose for the price of £5;95, We shouldn't complain. But for me i think we have had more than enough fgth "Best of" compilations.Also the main fault with this disc is the relax"sex mix" on disc 2. There are much better versions of the track available, why pick this one ?

Greatest Hits from a Great Band. What's not to like?
Impossible to review in an objective way, the music that was part of my early adult life but it was great nonetheless. Great music from a great band, but as I'm biased I'm not the best to comment further.
