Sexmix (subtitled Archive Tapes and Studio Adventures, Volume One) 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 ("singlettes") 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 (with said tracks mastered in stereo) to those who had purchased the set prior, by either sending them the mono disc or emailing (or sending) a scanned copy of their receipt or other proof of purchase (to prove they have bought the compilation) to Union Square Music's email address.

• Track 1 is the first 12" mix of "Relax", infamous for its length, the slightly offensive lines present through Holly Johnson's rambling and not including the regular song.
• Tracks 2, 5, 7 and 9 are interview excerpts that were only released on singlettes. Tracks 4 and 10 are spoken-dialogue tracks bridging the start and end "Two Tribes" singlette.
• Track 6 is the second 12" mix of "Two Tribes".
• Tracks 3 and 8 are the regular 12" cover B-sides to "Relax" and "Two Tribes" respectively.
• Track 11 was originally released as a single-track CD single in 1986. Track 11.3 is a mix of the album version without vocals except in the chorus at the end.
• Track 12 is a cover of Rod Stewart's "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?", first released in 2009 on the now-discontinued digital version of Frankie Say Greatest. It was intended to be one of the planned "Warriors" B-sides, according to several sources.
• Track 13 was originally released as one of the B-sides to "Watching the Wildlife", except unlike previous releases it is not combined with bits 1 and 2.
