The ' you may pronounce us guilty a 1000 times over' is from Hitler at the Munich Putsch trial in the 1920's. The narrator: 'if your grandmother or any other member of the family should die whilst in the shelter...' is the actor Patrick Moore from the public information documentaries on British Tv in the 1970's.

@pix042 Patrick Allen actually - Moore is the Sky At Night guy! :-)

I know someone in montreal who worked in radio in the 80'S that confirmed me the existence of special promo mixes released only to radio stations.I have heard a ''promo'' version of two tribes longer than the 12 inch available to the public.

@madmack10 I believe these are known as "Disconet" versions (which they did for many songs & artists during the 80's), i am sure i heard one played on Radio 1 during its chart run at the top, i remember it having an extended Nuclear Fallout bit with the narrator (Patrick Allen) - really wish they would be released on CD...

Pure genius and sums up the feeling of the cold war threat during the eighties.(This was in my head during NBC training - still sends shivers up my spine!)

Just one of FGTH's fantastic songs.

Thank's for posting

This is the version of Two Tribes that was on the original US edition of the Pleasuredome CD. All other versions of the CD contain the three-and-a-half minute version of the song. The greatest hits CDs contain other remixes. I searched off and on for years and finally found a used copy. You can't easily tell which version is which by looking at the CD sleeve covers because the track listings on all versions are inaccurate. You have to find the right catalog number: Island Records 7 90232-2.

They've opened the road to all future disco's styles, house, garage deep house... Frankie say... we made it!

Damn, I remember this from one of the end of day closing credits on the Winter Olympics one night.  I'm guessing the 1984 ones in Sarajevo. There was no lyrics on it though. Channel 9, Australia. I guess talking about dead grandmas during elite sporting competitions was a no-no.

@madmack10 Was there not a version which sounded like two recordings on the same track...I am sure i have this on cassette.

[cdjruski]

gotta laugh when people say 80's music was bland and too pop influenced,there's never been a record as powerful (politicaly) and as ground breaking (production) as this....and probably never will be!

[TheEnglishdog]

@madmack10 I believe I heard one of those versions when I was young. It was played on BBC Radio 1...

[NineTails20]

Huge FGTH fan back in the day. The sleeve notes on that 12" helped me with a project on the cold war back in the day, lol.

@80sSumpy Me too! Wow Frankie scared the shit out of me, I really thought the

Russians were coming!

[IamAwakey]

@pix042 I thought it was the guy with the white hair who did Barrett's house commercials
