Frankie: Tinned / Simply Frankie Goes To Hollywood / 3CD set

By Paul Sinclair

Corned beef, pilchards, baked beans and now Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Yes, we’ve had Frankie ‘cassetted’, well now it’s Frankie ‘tinned’ because Simply Frankie Goes To Hollywood is one of the inaugural releases in Union Square Music’s “Simply Tins” series providing three CDs of hits, album tracks and rarities.

This 33-track collection belies the gimmicky packaging and actually looks really quite good with some relatively rare remixes (“Sex Mix Edition 2” of Relax, Warriors Compacted etc.) and some choice selections from previous deluxe editions such as Watusi Love Juicy and Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?. Add to that some sought-after instrumentals (Watching The Wildlife and Rage Hard in their ‘voiceless’ variants) and you’ve got a great little set, especially at the current price of under £8!

Get your tin openers ready for Simply Frankie Goes To Hollywood which will be released on 29 June 2015.
