ZTT: The Morley & Horn Show present How To Make A Spectacle of Yourself

Barney Hoskyns, New Musical Express, 13 October 1984

The first year of ZTT has been a spectacular success, with Frankie Goes To Hollywood singles 'Relax' and 'Two Tribes' becoming respectively the fourth and eleventh best sellers of all time. Now the label is to release its first batch of LPs and unveil their second wave of acts. But is it a theatre of hype? Barney Hoskyns enters the pleasure dome to question the ethics of Trevor Horn, Paul Morley and Jill Sinclair and meet Anne Pigalle, Propaganda, Andrew Poppy and Instinct.
