Frankie Goes To Hollywood – Welcome To The Pleasuredome – 2LP Vinyl Record
1980s Pop Spectacle, Pressed for Maximum Impact
Released in October 1984, Welcome to the Pleasuredome marked a striking arrival for Frankie Goes to Hollywood—a record that married club‑driven beats, soaring hooks and lavish production under the gaze of producer Trevor Horn. With the advance sales reportedly topping one million in the UK, the double‑album format was ambitious and almost operatic in scale.
This 2LP vinyl edition allows the full sweep of the original album to breathe—electro‑pop anthems (like the unforgettable Two Tribes), the provocative club classic Relax, and the emotional ballad The Power of Love. The analogue vinyl format enhances everything: from the tight bass and crisp drum programming to the layered synths and choir‑like vocals.
Whether you’re spinning it on a high‑end system or simply immersing yourself in ’80s pop vitality, this vinyl pressing brings home the drama, the dancefloor energy and the studio polish. It’s not just nostalgia—it’s a statement of sound, picked up in full. Add to that the collectible nature of a double‑LP gatefold format, and you have a release that hits both musically and physically.
