Just the orchestral intro alone! NO ONE does this today! Dear Lord!

The 5 thumbs down should be tagged and put outside.

So many versions of this masterpiece and all of them are equally badass.

When i got into American football on Channel 4 with Nicky Horne they used this tune for the weekly results highlights.

I was fortunate to grow up in the 80's when all this wonderful music from ZTT was being released. Art of Noise, Frankie, Grace Jones, The Buggles, Trevor Horn, Anne Dudley, 808 State; all were in the ZTT stable. When this song was released there was a very real threat of nuclear war and this captures the angst, the defiance, the fear and the loathing of nuclear conflict in the 80s.

my names ped my names mark my names nash mine is the last voice you will. ever hear.

80's had some fabulous music. Frankie goes to Hollywood is a superb group.

The Bass lines are Vicious. ... Superb... A Mastepiece...

These ZTT recordings are enduring works of art. So ambitious, so rewarding, so understandable that a lot of people making records were in awe of them too. I remember collecting all of these as they came out and hunting in some cases for years for certain mixes. That first 12 inch of "Dr. Mabuse" is such an amazing record too. What that whole group was doing-Lipson, Langan, Jeczalik, Dudley-was doing was just incredible.

By far the best version of this magnificent hit.

" You may pronounce us guilty a thousand times over, but the Goddess of the Eternal Court of History will smile and tear to tatters the brief of the State prosecutor and the sentence of this court, for She acquits us."

One of the most powrful songs against the establishment. A political thriller of two leaders to fight it out in a ring to settle the score of who is the most powerful on earth. Banned in nearly twenty countries Holly Johnson kept his resolve at bashing his way into history to give the public what they wanted. And this song was no exception to show what it means to let yourself be heard no matter the cost. Brilliant song, and a powerful message to those in so called unreachable places.

"Just think.... war breaks out and nobody turns up." Fucking scary man.

1 dislike ..... put them outside , but remeber to tag them first for identification purposes :-)

I remember my mum getting the war book if a nuclear bomb was to strike Fuck me that was scarey when the cold war was going on

Thank you, thank you. Haven't heard this for donkey's years. My copy got nicked. This is by far the best version of this tune. EXCELLENT😍

Wonderful music. I remember, that these atom war - connected lyrics were on the vinyl album "Pleasure Dome", which was released around 1984. But for a long time I had only a tape copy of that album, and when I bought it as CD about 10 years later, these lyrics where gone, and substituted by some words about sex. I was really really disappointed. These words, like "Mine is the last voice that you will ever hear" make me still shiver, remembering, how close we were to a final war in those days.

This song is a lot cleverer than people give it credit for "You may pronounce us guilty a thousand times over, but the Goddess of the Eternal Court of History will smile and tear to tatters the brief of the State Prosecutor and the sentence of this court, for She acquits us." is taken from the infamous part of Adolf Hitler's speech in court in 1923 following his arrest after the failed coup d'etat of Beer Hall Putsch by the NAZI Party, "History will absolve" is taken from Fidel Castro's "History will absolve me" speech in his own defense in court against the charges brought against him after he led an attack on the Moncada Barracks. The put the body outside is taken from the British "protect and survive" public information film on how to survive a nuclear attack and placing the bodies outside making sure tagging for identification purposes... it is interesting that the first Hitler speech was done by Chris Barry in the voice of Ronald Regan the US president at the time as if he was saying the same thing, the part "On the air America/I modelled shirts by Van Heusen", a clear reference to then US President Ronald Reagan, who had advertised for Phillips Van Heusen in 1953, is an American clothing company which owns brands such as Van Heusen, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, were suspected of buying from forced child labour manufacturers and whose first film had been titled Love Is On The Air, a film in which Ronald Regan starred in!!, other versions of this song had Richard Nixon quotes taken from an ad from his 1960 US Presidential campaign ("No.. firm diplomacy... No.. peace for America and the world"), Working for the Black Gas is a reference that under Ronald Regan and Margaret Thatcher and the uncertainty of the cold war Oil prices had become dearer than gold and we may all as well be paid in petrol (gas to our american cousins)

After hearing this in the 80's 1/2 asleep in my room, I ended up having a nightmare that I ? was on a spacecraft hurling out away from earth and as I ran through the halls of this huge ship, "MINE IS THE LAST VOICE YOU WILL EVER HEAR" kept playing over the intercom. I.woke up thinking it was the coolest bad dream I ever had. Found the song that week by telling the clerk at wax records in Chicago the lyric I remembered.

Thankyou you Trvor Horn! Thankyou ZTT, thankyou Holly - Never forgot the Magic of your Music - 15 Minuten are Not enough - love this Song Most of FGTH - we were CLOSE To the scenery of World war 3 - but the Sound is still unique and alive. The Bass ist Even like Paul Kalkbrenner in 2013 ;-) - Paul - love you like Holly !

Great version... Cheers from Australia.

i am a big frankie fan and i do have the cassingle of relax, the power of love,.

I had this cassette, it was stolen, but thanks to amazon, found another just last year. Thanks for the post, had to visit the youtube to mp3 website :-) This is really THE best FGTH track

Tell the world that you're winning, loving life, loving life......

11:06 Heh, it's enough to make you wonder sometimes if you're on the right planet.

Sounds of the 80s love the 80s

Thanks for posting.

I bought the original EP at HMV in Oxford, UK back in the 80s and it came with a t-shirt with Lenin on it. The were both collector's items and wish I had kept them. I brought them back to canada but never saw the EP or t-shirt there.

Now available on cd for the first time. It's on the double cd - The Art of the 12" Volume Two. From all good record shops, if they still exist that is!

Yeah, never known that this version exists. Thanks for uploading this!

Not heard this version before. I like it

thanks to NATO and the US military complex, the 80's have returned, and not in a good way

Awesome doesn't come close to what this is!!!

@lastschicker I'll try my best to dig out the Relax cassette for you and Welcome to the pleasuredome cassette. I also have Power of love. Two tribes was my fave, great days and 9 weeks at no1. I was listening to Killing Joke back then, still do!!!!

Damn, totally forgot that there are a few subtle differences between this and pretty much all of the CD single versions (of which I own a healthy stack). Thanks for sharing this (and the other parts too!)

fantasticiiiiiiii

nice one for uploading this brother!

It's a good version. Surrender mix followed by Carnage instrumental (3:10)/Annihiliation instrumental (6:49)/Carnage main song(11:36).

GENIALNE !!!!!!

Some tune

nice i wish some of the other cassettes would be put up.

the pleasuredome single cassette I had was a power of love cassette ztt had recorded over and stuck a black label on!!!!!

@RazSux Thanks for the info, ordered mine yesterday along with Volume 1. Got most of the 12" on Vol 1, but they were cheap so i had both :-)

In the 80's I heard this version of Two Rock 101 tribes in one sitting ... listen and never faded from my mind, the cartoon voice of Federico Lira, mentioned something like this: "... Frankie Goes to Hollywood with Two Tribes - Two tribes, describes the history of the struggle between two powers with fatal consequences for all ... "he emphasized was the one occasion that listen achieved with his bullet. After nearly 30 years of searching for lost times, able to find this version; in Mexico City just came to light in Rock 101, (concept Maestro Luis Gerardo Salas - r101ck.mx ) After that time is that thanks to the magic of the internet and youtube, you might hear in great detail all the Trevor Horn influence in the masterful interpretation of Frankie goes to Hollywood. Thank you very much to TheUTubeTeamSucks

Seems to be: instrumental first half of the carnage mix (instrumental run through) first half of the annihilation mix (instrumental run through) 7" vocal version

you can feel the 235 atoms getting exited to chain react

These guys may have gone further had they stuck to the 12"/ 7" as central formula as opposed to the age old pain of album obligation. There was a lot of pressure on them by spring '85. Those first 3 singles hit Number 1 three in a row in '84.

imagine if holly was still alive with all the crap that's going on now .no doubt more masterpieces would have ensued

Frankie Said (Japan) double cd

Magic!!!! Have you got the relax cassette?

Oh I yer, well ard

Hulde!!

IHR SEID MUSIK !!!

I'd like to know what names they are saying around 5:20. Its sounds like "My name's Mark.. My name's Kurt... My name's not... * Mine is the last voice that you will ever hear. Don't be alarmed."

@lastschicker Afraid not. Was into Two Tribes much more than i was Relax.
