Holly Johnson remembers:‘At this time [1982] Sounds, a pop-music newspaper, printed a family tree of Liverpool bands in which Frankie Goes to H§ollywood somehow appeared. This was the band that had never played live, with the line-up of Steve Lovell, Ambrose Reynolds and Holly Johnson. We decided to take this name, one I had created for my old band, as the name for the new one.’
(A Bone in My Flute, 142)
When the band turned from Sons of Egypt to Frankie goes to Hollywood, they already had some songs in store which would never appear on vinyl nor were they ever performed for radio sessions, but were only part of the band’s earliest live sets (in 1982). Besides the songs already there in the Sons of Egypt’s repertoire (like Bring on the Violins and Is Anybody Out There, see post below) FGTH had also demoed a couple of other songs, among which:
Drum up Some
Living in Limbo
fgth – early demos (II)
