Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Rage Hard

This was Frankie's fifth single and was released in the summer of 1986. The band were riding on the wave of Welcome To The Pleasuredome's success and had a lot to prove about who they were and that they were not the puppets of Trevor Horn. The single was a big hit and got to number 4 in the UK and came with the usual amounts of remixes. I remember them on Top Of The Pops performing the single throwing money around on stage and always thought it was such a strong single. It is my favourite FGTH single, I just think it has so much power to it. The album it came off Liverpool was moving more towards a rockier feel rather than the dance of the last album. They never hit the same highs as the previous singles and album which was a shame but it also showed just how the British record buying public came move on to the next big thing, which around this time was the start of Stock, Aitken & Waterman.
