Description

This 45 rpm vinyl features the famous track "Relax" by the band Frankie Goes To Hollywood, a must-have from the British pop and dance scene of the 1980s. The visible side of the sleeve features a bold graphic illustration, depicting two intertwined figures in a dynamic pose, one dressed in black and the other in red, against a white background. The design is typical of the provocative and stylized aesthetic of the era, emphasizing movement and sensuality.

The inscription "RELAX FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD" appears in capital letters in a green and black box on the lower right part of the sleeve. In the upper left, a text bubble in English reads: "relax don't do it when you want to sock it to it relax don't do it when you want to come."

The ZTT label logo is visible in the lower left corner, characteristic of the band's original releases. The sleeve shows a matte finish, with some light signs of wear visible on the edges and surface, typical of a vintage vinyl record that has been handled and stored for several decades.

The format illustrated here is the 45 rpm single, identifiable by its small square sleeve (no dimensions are explicitly indicated in the keywords), which corresponds to the mention "45 rpm vinyl" found in the additional keywords. No other elements or accessories are visible in the photo.

The graphic style, lettering, and choice of colors are representative of the visual pop and new wave trends of the early to mid-1980s, a period during which this single gained international notoriety.

Did you know? Frankie Goes To Hollywood's "Relax," released in 1983, was banned by the BBC shortly after its release due to its deemed provocative lyrics. This censorship paradoxically contributed to the single's notoriety and success, establishing it as one of the decade's biggest hits in the UK.
