October 29, 1984 –
Frankie Goes to Hollywood release their debut album, Welcome To The Pleasuredome, in the UK, on this date.
Trevor Horn discovered Frankie Goes To Hollywood shortly after creating his record company ZTT when he saw the band performing Relax and Two Tribes on a Channel 4 show called The Tube. Chris Squire (of the band Yes) commented, “This band looks really interesting. Why don’t you sign them up?” Horn didn’t think much about them until months later when he heard them again on BBC Radio 1 DJ David Jensen’s radio show. When Horn contacted them to sign them, he was unaware that the band was on the brink of breaking up because they felt unsuccessful.
