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

LOW (Nash & Boult) - Enter The Bigger Reality



There is a lost classic of an album sitting in the archives of Babylon Pink Recordings, by the band Low. Featuring Brian Nash (Frankie Goes To Hollywood) and Grant Boult (The Promise), originally recorded in 1992 when the band were signed to Swanyard Discs. The album was called ENTER THE BIGGER REALITY and was never released as the record company went out of buisness before they were able to get it pressed up and out into the shops.
The full track listing for the album reads like this.....
01. Tearing my soul apart
02. Love comes down
03. My foolish heart
04. England in the rain
05. Hold me
06. When U were mine
07. Melon
08. When love comes back in fashion
09. Life goes on
10. Sleep
11. Deep inside a bad dream
12. Godless times
13. New Heaven
Fans of Frankie Goes To Hollywood may like to note that several of the tracks were co-written with fellow Frankies Peter Gill & Mark O'Toole.
The track Tearing my soul apart was released as a single but failed to chart.
