Welcome to the Pleasuredome was the debut album by Frankie Goes to Hollywood, first released in the UK in October 1984 by ZTT/Island Records. Originally issued as a vinyl double album, it was assured of a UK chart entry at number one due to reported advance sales of over one million.
Whilst commercially successful, the album also drew criticism for containing new versions of the group's (already much-remixed) hit singles from the same year ("Relax" and "Two Tribes", plus B-side "War"), as well as a surfeit of cover versions in lieu of much new original material.
However, the album's evergreen ballad "The Power of Love" would subsequently provide the group with their third consecutive UK number one single.
The artwork is loaded with texts, quotes, dialogues and citations, referring to persons as diverse as Dostoevsky, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Kurt Weill, Virginia Woolf...
