Considering the group only released seven singles and the last two ( Warriors of the Wasteland and Watching The Wildlife) didn’t even make the UK top ten, the 16-track collection does a good job of ‘making sense’ of Frankie without containing too much filler. Proposals are often well thought through and carry unforgettable memories of the moment that your partner finally gets down on one knee.

You can see in the photo on our walk on the fourth attempt he literally had his hand in his pocket on the ring.Frankie McMillan started scaling peaks when he was just three years old with his mum Basia McMillan, 39. This has the same collection of hits and best album tracks as Bang and Frankie Said (FS) (in some cases a more common mix version certainly than on FS.

So, this is the first time it has appeared on CD, something that Ian strives to do with all these releases, and something for which I, and all other Frankie/ZTT aficionados are eternally grateful for. On his fourth attempt, Andy was about to pull out the ring during while the couple were taking self-timer photos on a walk before Frankie jumped in joking 'now would be a good time to propose'. However, if you are a fan of the band (or ZTT) and tend to pick up most of the reissues, it really is slim pickings. The latter contains the music videos to the band's singles, while the LP version focusses on remixes only.Frankie, from Gosforth, Cumbria, said: ‘I’m very proud of myself, it was the highest I have ever been before. 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 .

And so, when I saw that this compilation featured a live track I was pleasantly, yet somehow anxiously, surprised. What we have here are all the singles, a few album favourites, a couple of 12″ mixes and some nice tit bits, including the rather sweet and simple opening track, the piano instrumental of the opening of Two Tribes which emphasises the Russian musical inspiration behind the main theme of the song.Ped seemed to stray off the beat every now and again and, whilst it was a great, fun performance, it was not the track on the album. Track DVD-26 is an extract from the 1985 Frankie Goes To Hollywood video release, From A Wasteland To An Artificial Paradise.
