[egronk56]

I had this EP. I bought it at HMV in Oxford and it came with a collector's T-shirt.

[rav3nish]

I'm 40 years old - this has to be in my top 5 all time.

[IAMCORNHOLIO420]

[5big1s]

war breaks out and nobody turns up --------- classic.

[5big1s]

war breaks out and nobody turns up --------- classic.

[orourkeda]

Possibly the most important thing this side of the world.

[orourkeda]

They really dont make them like they use to

[jair6666]

I've been looking for this version of the tune forever! Thx for upload!!!

[dolfke64]

waar is de tijd naaar toe !!!! super goeie schijf veel goede herineringen

[ramdodgeforest]

frankie holly the best

[rifraf1966]

got this one ! still

[35eselmeise]

Und ich dachte,ich kenne alle Versionen.Aber NEIN!!Muss ich doch wieder bei ebay kramen.

[NIR111Class]

Chris Barrie did the voice of Ronald Reagan for this track, it was because he voiced Reagan in Spitting Image that first ran a few months before Two Tribes was released in 1984.

[pretzelberg]

Plus possibly the only time when the otherwise silly orchestra-bang synth sound is permitted.

[TheOptimod]

@pretzelberg Bull. Africa Bambaataa - Planet Rock uses it to good effect.

[brianartillery]

@cunnilicker On the UK compilation 12'' 80's Volume 2. Hope this helps. I have all the FGTH 12'' singles. ZTT Records made it difficult to collect by releasing several versions of the same record under identical catalogue numbers. This version was the original 12'' released. And the grimmest - in 1984 the cold war was ongoing - we could have been nuked at any time. People don't realize that today - it was a scary time to be young.

[lsmpbc]

it doesn't get any better than this!!!

[racecon99]

The best 12" Single of the 80's and true to this day whichever tribes go to war there is only one winner. Sex and horror still prevail

[dantenme]

this version of two tribes appears only on the first printing of the welcome.... cd after that it was the same version as the album though i'm sure that it appears elsewhere too

[Ruthypops1]

never heard this mix, brilliant

[colly2340]

have this on 12" picture disc, probably slightly scratched now!thought yhe liverpool album was cracking too despite critics having a go

[1970ferret]

i bought this when i was on a school holiday in Germany,1984 this has to be one of the best 12" remixes ever !!

just think ,if war breaks out and nobody turns up !! :D

[jeankloot1]

Trevor Horn rocks!

[littlenige]

I swear pretty much everything that Trevor Horn is involved with is a total joy to listen to!! Frankie, ABC (Lexicon of Love), Yes (90125), Propaganda, Grace Jones (Slave), even Dollar!! They have an unmistakable quality of sound and chord structures that grab me like no other.................

[godsoj]

breathtaking sound, best ever !!!!!

[SOWHATIMADEIT]

yes this one alos

[SOWHATIMADEIT]

nice video recall when headroom was been made an the pl was a casset or so spelled

[dazzawazza71]

this is brill havent heard this for years !!!!!

[TheMasterNo6]

1984 - I was but a wee kid, but THIS track was something I liked then and now.

[thesacredbandfla]

@cunnilicker Don't know sorry. Just had to agree that this is the best. It was the only one my mates and I would listen to.

[7482jonathan]

...putting grandma outside right now...

[Ypipable]

Lenin and Stalin can go suck shit. That is what Trotsky would say.

Condemn me.....

[TheNaomiengland]

Nice photo of Lenin

[Karl036]

Thanks for this version..

[pablodistefano]

well hard ha

[frankalien]

trevor horn genius..

[ICR68]

4:46 wooh! You gotta love the waving record sleeve animation! Cracking song, by the way...

[WrestleTheDecibel]

Best. 12". Ever.

[nickleach62]

FYI Patrick Allen (I believe) did the voiceover for the public information film "Protect and Survive" in the UK. It was on how to survive a nuclear attack (surviving the bombs, only to die starving and contaminated in a nuclear winter?). I think that's where the idea came from. Either way, it's a powerful voice, very relevant for this track. Thanks for posting this. Oh, and FGTH rocks!

[petitelouis]

A very popular group and song in DC nightclubs. Never has been there a moment as when the lights when dim, the strobe lights got going and this started. Truly magical...truly powerful. Saw them at the Ontario Theatre in DC 1984. Incredible!

[kirk75248]

Trevor Horn kicks ass!

[smithypeart]

best mix of frankies

[Kelly14UK]

EVIL.But it wouldn't happen. They in power had too much to lose.

[Buckerooo]

Goose bumps...cheers.

[mbarrett12]

Really like this, might be 9 years older than me and have no nostalgia factor but I like the ideals of it

[spottydog4477]

***EPIC************

[doom032]

Heard this on '80s radio a week ago. Brilliant song!

[funnycod]

Thankyou so much 0x51d for putting this classic on YouTube. I remember first hearing it when Andy Peebles played it on Radio 1 back in 1984. It made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up back then and it still does 26 years later. Trevor Horns production is stunning, IMO it's the finest 12" version of a track ever made.

[LoomSlave]

Vinyl sounds best^^

[diodepio]

on the subject of Frankie goes to Hollywood!!!......nothing occurs to me..

[foggy4xchamp]

Owned the many years ago. SOOOOOOOOOO miss it. Thank you

[mooneepondskid]

This is definitely the best version of this track. Listening to this on a stereo in 1984 for the first time gave me chills.

[depman2007]

One of the best 12" out there, and i have it :)

[RandomThoughts9ew65]

HOLY COW - This brings back memories.

I remember back on the night Desert Shield turned into Desert Storm (1-17-91), WDRE 92.7 played this version.

[RandomThoughts9ew65]

@piran75 Royal British Marines??

[porno6361]

any chance of doing the b side where i think they interview the band,well 'ard!

[polrey123]

gianbaglia....eccomi...pronto allineamo la tua richiesta per un commento in Italiano....che dire...riaffiorano ricordi dei miei 18/19 anni,questa è la musica che stò cercando di raggruppare in un unica playlist...sono in piena caccia!!!!

[gianbaglia]

@polrey123 polrey123...buon vento x la tua ricerca e....attendo ansioso gli esiti.ciao

[gianbaglia]

Ma perche' su un gruppo che ha in un certo qual senso,formato il nostro essere musicale,non trovo neanche un commento in italiano?

[boonersalmon]

lost me 12" years ago, great to hear it again, result of nuke war back then was depicted in a film in 1984/5, cant remember what it was called but would love to know, any other fortysumthings remember the film???

[YSBYTY]

the film was called Threads and was based around a nuclear strike in Sheffield.

[isapuin]

@boonersalmon

The Day atfer?

[TheGhandi61]

fantastic

[emielnijhuis]

My all time favorite remix since it was released in 1984. I've been looking for it for ages. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[KrautKrazy]

Ladies and Gentleman,let me present FGTH.One of the most important things this side of the World!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[pengppp123]

I do agree with Roelnico

[roelnico]

One of the best versions of two tribes where are the days of this good sounds

[edinburghmarc]

Yeh! the English voice over is Patrick Allen. He done the original vid in case there was a nuclear war which is sampled in the tune. Dont know about the American voice though.

[peter3deckwizard]

The guy doing all the voice overs for Regan is Chris Barrie who did th The Brittas Empire and Red Dwarf. John Craven from News Round (BBC1) did the bit about tagging the family.

[specialbeat]

Not John Craven but Patrick Allen.

[kldeich]

From one of the greatest albums of all time. Too bad these guys never realized their potential. They didn't give us nearly enough music! Truely an underrated band from the get-go.

[lapieces]

@kldeich they shall have their portion.

[BringBack500s]

haha rmbr this like it was yesterday, frankie were the dogs danglers!

Seems that lotsa ppl got their 12"s of Frankie back in the day!

[paul04041988]

His name is Patrick Allen.

[airfreshn3r]

Excellent. I think the guy making the "air attack warning" was the same guy who did the Barratt ads in the 70s. (The bloke in the suit hanging from the helicopter).

[versions123]

scary yet fanstastic

[brokhere]

oh how i whish that some band would pick up that way of feeling/thinking about music. trevor horn and frankie were truly genious ... i just love that sound ...

[Hoovercat]

I've still got this record.....it was the nuts and it still is, unbeatable bass line.One of the best songs of the eighties.....done a good job with it too m8, thanks.......FGTH weren't a band...they were an event.!.....1984 belonged to them.

[doublep1000]

i think.. this was my first 12"

[SpiritOf1989]

Brill effort! When you buy a ZTT Record, you are purchasing a collectible work of art.

[karsten2704]

that´s the good old Sound - better than everything !

[Signedpeach]

Scary shit now I understand the words all these years later....

[wilskins71]

DJ hell used to play this.. blast from the past

[mtvne]

'If any member of your family should die when in the shelter, put them outside but remember to tag them first for identification purposes.' Was this an actual real warning?

[porno6361]

yes,i think it was called protect and survive,done when things really could have gone tits up between nato and warsaw pact,it was done back in the 60's on the tv stations

[ScubaSteveM45]

It could have been real life instructions had things gone a little bit differently. I never thought we would make it out of the Cold War myself. I thought it was just an eventuality when I was younger.

[mmm888777]

anyone remember the spitting image vid to this song??

[mmm888777]

WOW its in stereo!!! haha ;)

[Kicksmeintheshowers]

Pure genius !!!!

[TVBolsward]

This version? The best ever!

[Alancete7]

y love this song :))))

[goleez]

They don't make 'em like FGTH anymore ...oh - why don't we get the 80's musicians and singers back!

[darrellisgrumpy]

You may pronounce us guilty a thousand times over, but the goddess of

the eternal court of history will smile and tear to tatters the brief of

the state prosecutor and the sentence of this court -- for she aquits us.

[papalazerus22]

I take it (Annihailation) Stands for Anne Dudly .. the genius behind the keyboard arrangments .... i worked with her once ... she is a genius !! composser arranger and all round brilliant musician ....

[dctbass]

Christ, I must have driven my parents mad with this. For about a full year I played this at full blast in our small 2 bedroom mid terraced council house. With me trying my very best to perfect the bassline through the hundred watt head ands 4x12 cabinet I had!! What times. Saw them live at the much lamented Glasgow Appollo in 1984. They were immense and it remains my greatest ever gig. Welcome to The Pleasuredome was just mind blowing. Long gone, but never forgotten....

[doctorwho2pat]

Liverpool FC and Everton FC - the 2 best teams in England (and Europe).

Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Echo and the Bunnymen, China Crisis, The Mighty Wah and A Flock of Seagulls - Some of the best bands in England.

Alan Bleasdale and Wily Russell - Two of the best playwrighters in the country.

1984 - What an era to be in Liverpool.

[cbs0192]

When this first came out I lived in a block of flats and used to play the begining at full blast out the window....it made people stop in the street lol...of course I have grown up now (45)and would never do anything like that now!!!!!

[tobagotb10]

I used to dance the Friday nights away on this song. What a time it was! So young and innocent still. Am now 45 but it seems like only a few years back. I too played it full blast and turned my parents living room into a disco.

[snakecharmerofborg]

One word, fantastic!! - Thanks for the upload, about time someone uploaded some decent tunes :)

[AshleyC42]

A very good song from Frankie.. I love it.

[Xephire]

Used to have this on tape... Great to hear it again...

[teddybeareleventeen]

This track takes on a new meaning to me these days.

[fahrenheit961]

really happy to hear this version again.

Trevor Horn made a very good job of producer.

Can you believe it was almost 25 years ago ?

It's really great

[lebickley1961]

This is the definitive Two Tribes mix. Excellent! Thanks for posting it.

[laidbackdoood]

play it loud boy!!

[fusionfreq]

are you a fully fledged hard now Nash?

[TheQuiet1]

Oh yeah, well'ard!

[hmunker1]

good recording of the 12" remix
