'''''Welcome to the Pleasuredome''''' was the debut album by [[Frankie Goes Toto Hollywood]], first released in the [[United Kingdom|UK]] in October 1984 by [[ZTT Records|ZTT]]/[[Island Records]]. Originally issued as a [[Gramophone record|vinyl]] [[double album]], it was assured of a UK chart entry at [[List of Number 1 albums from the 1980s (UK)#1984|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 (single)|Relax]]" and "[[Two Tribes]]", plus B-side "[[War (song)|War]]"), as well as a surfeit of [[cover version]]s in lieu of much original new material.
