Reviews
- Classic Christmas offering. Great music video too. Kept off the top by the curse of Band Aid.
Edited 19 years agoZTT decided that to promote this release they would issue a vibrator whose batteries had been printed, in the Frankie logotype, with "The Power Of Love". These occasionally turn up on Ebay, where usually they are promply de-listed for being of a 'sensitive' nature...
