One of the first 12" 33 rpm records added to my collection in 2014.

At that time I knew FGTH only for the hits Relax, Two Tribes (thanks to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City!!) and The Power Of Love. I was intrigued by this band, so I decided to buy their debut album from the UK through DiscoGS.

Here is my copy:
an original 1984 UK first pressing, in excellent (or Near Mint) condition.

Welcome To The Pleasuredome (1984)

The wonderfoul Picassian-style gatefold cover:

It is exactly record number 25 in my collection. 

A colourful and vibrant pop rock / electonic album, with some explicit content that is both visible and audible. It's one of my favourite records in my collection.

An '80s milestone!

Thanks for reading and see you on Sunday.
