You are so right. I hear it now at 3 o' clock in the morning... I love it and my surround system too...

Thank you holly the artist and Trevor the producer. the Best Britain have ever produced.

one of the best "Extended Versions" in music history!

Listen Do you want to know a secret Move with me inside the strange world of the twelve inch Where nothing is as it seems Where everything has its place And there’s a place for everything And anything can happen Let me take you on a tour of the twelve inch Using this special extension of Rage Hard as our example We have begun It is of course Frankie and Frankie only Around we go Under through up and under Watch out here for the guitar Let it sustain Now our favourite The funky guitar Always note the sequencer This will never let us down Let it have its wicked way We are sliding good Building fast The perky percussion How does it feel The god like bass guitar A hey of backing vocals Rage A lust of deep dark synthesizer And we shall be teased by a long merciless reverb The break down So you can lie down The whip If you know what I mean Do what you are told Those repeat echoes An essential part of a twelve inch is the climax Yes But first Yes The anti-climax The lads with electric disgust Paul Rutherford here for the smell of it How does it feel Hard Do what you are told Move with me over the thrill of the twelve inch Do what you are told The whip Do what you are told The whip Do what you are told The fall and the rise The whip The fall The whip We are sliding good Building fast The beginning And the end The rush and the thrust The speed and the sweat The vocals of Holly Johnson Yes We are at the centre of a riff Rage Rage hard The fall And the rise The beginning And the end The rush and the thrust The speed and the sweat It is of course Frankie and Frankie only You flipping me off The climax The climax Rage…

Best extended version ever made!!!

A masterpiece and one of the best examples of the true 12 inch single, Trevor Horn is a God !!

To me it's the best 12'' vinyl of all time. A masterpiece in mixing (tension) and mastering (dynamics). Dancing to Franky was always a pleasure in the discotheques in those days.

I think I noticed even FOUR versions of the Rage Hard 12 inch... different in details. This one is still my favourite, got the LP still in my collection. Maybe even the best 12 inch ever...

Best Version of this great Song !

best 12" I ever got!!!

Waw ça me rappelle mon adolescence 😘la tuerie 😀😀

I heard this on Annie Nightingale's Sunday evening radio request programme back in the 80s and I still love it all these later. Great production. Annie played some great music you rarely heard elsewhere.

Masterpiece 💯. R.I.P

Όλες οι 12" εκτελέσεις των FGTH ήταν εκπληκτικές! Πολύ προχωρημένες για εκείνη την εποχή που τις ακούγαμε!

Still a great piece of Music ❤️

sounds more like the best 12" you ever had..... +erpho

The first time I heard this song was on 11/20/07. What got me to liking this song was at the beginning from .54 to 1.07 I don’t know what instrument it is but it made me feel more appropriate of listening to the music much more clearly. Every time I hear it I can visualize that Night I hear it. Still gives me a good feeling.

Just heard "Hymn" by Music Instructor and recalled that FGTH had the same idea much earlier for their maxi version of "Rage hard".

Amazing 12"!

Yes, you've right, this is art! The best 12" were made by Frankie, PSB & Yello. And this version of Rage Hard is the best you can get.

A good Song in 80 years

These guys totally rock and were the godfathers of electronica/dance music. I can't help but notice though that this song, Relax, and Welcome to Pleasure dome are the exact same chords! Whatever though still awesome

Kudos to Sirius/XM's New Wave channel DJ Bueller, for turning me on to this fantastic song just this past Saturday night. Thank you.

I would almost dare to say that this is one from the beginning of Trance. A steady rhythm, escalating...

Remember had this record to cassette tapes (borrow the LP from teacher's son ;)

Love this so much. Back to the 80. I grew up with this stuff. .. .

Everything Zang Tuum Tumb Records launched was sublime!

my favorite remix from FGTH just 35 years ago

Laugh like the head of Apollo Young and strong on the wings of tomorrow Rise up in millions, get off your knees Dispelling the demons In the valley of danger We all work together, sculptures in sorrow With love light to follow, on Sweet head of Apollo Into the light (Rage hard) Doing it right, doing it right (Rage hard) Against the dark (Rage hard) Make your mark Let the tournament begin Don't give up and don't give in Strength to rise up, strength to win Strength to save the world from losing Into the light (Rage hard) Doing it right (Rage hard) Against the dark (Rage hard) The blue eyes of children They shine without fear Hope is the future, with oceans of cheer (Nothing to fear) There's nothing to fear The laughter of angels resounding from heaven Keep fighting the favours Of charlatan saviours, charlatan saviours Into the light (Rage hard) Doing it right, doing it right (Rage hard) Against the dark (Rage hard) Make your mark Let the tournament begin Don't give up and don't give in (Rage hard) Into the light (Rage hard) Doing it right (Rage hard) Against the dark (Rage hard) Make your mark I don't know which way to go My love's like driven snow When we past the test of time My love you shall be mine And if only, lost and lonely Is all that's wrong with me, we'll be free Be free, be free Laugh like the head of Apollo Young and strong on the wings of tomorrow (Rage hard) (Rage hard) Let the tournament begin Don't give up and don't give in Into the light (Rage hard) Doing it right Let the tournament begin Don't give up and don't give in Strength to rise up, strength to win Strength to save the world from losing

awesome

Weaponized! Thank you!

i saw them in the 80's in Basel live at the StJacob Hall

echt gut gemacht 😃

Its every day my fitness music, I love it

such a fun, clever, cheeky follow up to Welcome to the Pleasure Drome....teased by a long merciless reverb....still fun

I like the build up! Great tune! One of my favourites from FGTH. Always shiver, when Hollys voice massive come in at 6:00.... also the climax is an extraordinary instrumental part! The whole concept have a similarity to RUSS BALLARDs "Fire Still Burns"-Promo 12". Also good to hear! ;)

I've got the original 12" vinyl - love it!!!

Frankie zindabad!

The Berlin Wall fell, Prez Regan came late, camell nose was in that tent!

It’s ingenious. But I don’t like that the 7“ is just attached to it at the end.

. Producer Stuff *.*

After the promising big funky intro, how heavily sounds the rest of this track... Here is the fall of FGTH (the Rise was short but so intense with "Welcome...") It's the last 12 inch to catch in their discography. And Liverpool LP, oh my god, such a disappointment.
