Notes

℗ + © 1983 Zang Tumb Tuum
Side A: "suck it"
Side B: "soap it up"

Invented in London
SEPTEMBER 1983.
This has, in company with the twelve inches, been number one in Zang Tumb Tumb's bold action series.

One September Monday
Four A.M. in the Zang Tuum Tumb recording studio. Paul and Holly relax after a hard days singing. And so a little chat about life, Liverpool and parties give it loads in that direction.

This version has no "Damont" credit in the runouts.
The Damont pressed version is here: Relax

This version also has a jukebox press (variant 6)

    The B-side is spoken word, set to
    music - apparently an interview with the band with Holly Johnson doing most of the talking, including revealing where the name ‘Frankie Goes To Hollywood’ came from
