Frankie say.....updates

So it's been a while since i was here with any Frankie & related updates and as a result you would think that i now have a shed load of information to share with you, right?
Well yes and no would be the answer.
There are snippets to tell but no huge amounts of information are forthcoming about the projects we are going to read about today, however each one brings with it a little more to look forward to over the coming months.

News is out on the web that ZTT are to release another 2CD compilation of Frankie Goes To Hollywood mixes and rareties (can there be many left we wonder?) and the rumour is that it is to be entitled 'Sex Mixes'. Due for release in June 2012 there were rumours that it was to include Frankie's early Demo version of the Grace Jones hit Slave to the Rhythm, however these rumours were quickly dispelled (disaproval by band members maybe?).

Nasher has been hard at work adding the finishing touches to his Autobiography which i can no confirm is due for release in the UK during September and is available to pre-order. Although not Nashers personal choice for the title 'Nasher says Relax' promises to reveal the other side of the Frankie story from the one already told by Holly Johnson is his book 'A Bone in my Flute'.

Staying with Nasher, he continues to work hard in the studio with Liverpudlian outfit Ground Pilots producing their Debut album 'In The Way of The Oceans' which is also due for release later this year. Nasher has brought in  former compatriot Niol Sweeney recently to work on tracks for the album and the early opinion is that the album could be a killer project for all involved
