The title track from FGTH’s album, “Welcome to the Pleasuredome”, was released as a fourth single in March 1985. Early promotional posters for the single cockily proclaimed it as “their fourth number one”, even prior to the single’s release. Embarrassingly, the single peaked at Number 2, leading to preemptive claims that the band was now on the decline. The snipers would eventually prove correct, but not for the alleged ‘failure’ of a Number 2 hit. The band’s demise was, in the final analysis, attributable to increasing internal tensions and general disillusionment, suspected by some during 1985, but only becoming truly apparent during the group’s 1986 public and much-heralded “return”. The twelve inches were noted for their long Greek mythology/Samuel Taylor Coleridge spoken introduction by Geoffrey Palmer.
