Pleasure Boys is the seventh single by the British New Romantic group Visage, released on Polydor Records in October, 1982.
The track is the only of the band's singles not to be taken from an album, though it was subsequently included on their "Fade To Grey: The Singles Collection" compilation album in 1983.
This single was the first release by Visage after the departure of Midge Ure, who left the group due to creative differences with Steve Strange and also to concentrate on his role in Ultravox. Possibly due to Ure's absence, Pleasure Boys was the first Visage single to miss the UK top 40 (peaking at 44) after a string of five hits during the 1981-82 period.
