ZTT spun on the axis of Frankie Goes To Hollywood for a year or two, and so we might have expected more than just a rehash of a hits compilation for the 30th Birthday Party. On the other hand the year is young, perhaps there is more to come. Frankie Say Greatest is a compilation album by Frankie Goes to Hollywood, released in 2009 by ZTT Records. The album is available in various formats: single CD, double CD, double LP, and DVD. The latter contains the music videos to the band's singles, while the LP version focusses on remixes only.

When I finally asked Frankie it felt really emotional. I knew it was the right time as the sun came out, wind dropped and it was just Frankie and I." Frankie would frequently hear Andy shouting at the football, which sparked the pair to message, and they've become 'inseparable' ever since. Contrary to the previous comment, let me try make a compelling case for THIS compilation vs the myriad other Frankie compo's:She went on: "He snapped - so I felt really guilty and hit a nerve. But he didn't want me ruining another proposal. It was really special. We'd talked about it, but Andy didn't want to rush things as he had been married before and didn't want things to wrong," Frankie said.

Four months after dating, Andy moved into Frankie's apartment in and Frankie was so sure on her relationship that she wanted to make things official with an engagement. I kept thinking this is never going to happen. I also asked myself if it was a sign it is not meant to be. But I'm no quitter. And because we knew the deal, we accepted it and didn’t let it stand in our way of the enjoyment of what was being offered. We bought every remix, every book or magazine or computer game. And now, some 28 years on, we still lap up every offering. Well, I know I do, and judging by the way these ZTT/Salvo compilations and re-issues are being produced, so do many others. What’s most disappointing is the sound and picture quality. Relax sounds awful. It’s very flat and muffled, rather like it’s being played in the other room while you watch. The picture quality is identical to Hard On i.e. not that great. Given it’s the 30th Anniversary of ZTT Records and they hope you might buy the same compilation you bought last year, someone might have at least tried to restore or clean up the videos and/or sync it to remastered audio. The inclusion of the DVD offered up the opportunity to dust down the Frankie surround mixes that have laid dormant since Rage Hard: The Sonic Collection SACD when out of print many years ago, but just like when The Art Of Noise‘s Who’s Afraid was reissued as a CD+DVD, the chance has gone begging . The original Frankie Said made a lot of sense. It was a Frankie Goes To Hollywood‘budget’ compilation released by Salvo in November 2012 that managed to please die-hard fans via the inclusion of rare mixes and edits, while not alienating the broader musical audience who accepted it at face value as a ‘greatest hits’.But it's the second disc on 'The Best Of' that should sell this compilation to you - it has on it in one place 5 of the great FGTH 12 inch releases, and all sound big and dynamic again with pretty decent DR values (average for the disc is DR 9, but WttP and Rage Hard are both good 10 DR's). The Sex mix of Relax may not be most people's favourite, but it's engaging and interesting in its own right. There are not many variations on TPoL, so this common extended version is the normal one featured on most compilations and it's just fine, you can't improve on it - the vocal-less TPoL on Frankie Said for example really adds nothing special... The Ahnihiliation mix of Two Tribes is also well used on compilations, but very good (although I prefer the New York mix more).
