Bang! (1985) |
|
Bang! is the title of two completely different compilation albums by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
The first Bang! compilation was given a Japan-only release during 1985. It is the first compilation album by the group, and the first to gather together various remixes that were difficult to find at the time. The album has subsequently become a collectors item in its own right.
The second Bang! compilation was a more conventional greatest hits compilation, released in 1993 during a spate of reissuing and remixing of Frankie Goes to Hollywood product by ZTT Records, hence the appearance of "classic" 1993 versions of two tracks, and the addition of one incongruous contemporary remix on the American CD version of 1994.
