Sexmix


Sexmix is a Frankie Goes to Hollywood remix album released on 3 August 2012. The set focuses on rare FGTH single formats, specifically the cassette releases and CD releases.

Controversy

A day before the set was revealed, it was revealed that mono mixes had been supplied for the "All in the Body, All in the Mind" singlette, with hints of a lossless replacement download for said single. Many people didn't take notice until the set was released, when a majority of people gave the release low ratings due to this.
Eventually, on 21 November 2012, ZTT offered a mail-order physical replacement disc to those who had purchased the set prior, by either sending them the mono disc or emailing a scanned copy of their receipt or other proof of purchase to Union Square Music's email address.
