A1: Two Tribes (Carnage) B1: War (Hide Yourself) B2: Two Tribes B3: One February Friday
"Two Tribes" was a successful single in its own right, but its reign at the top of the charts was made even more notable by the continuing success of its predecessor. "Relax" had made a natural decline down the charts by May 1984, but on the release of "Two Tribes" its sales began to increase again, to the extent that FGTH held the top two spots in the UK charts during July 1984, the first active group to do so since the early 1960s. | | ZTT UK | XZTAS3 | Jun 1984 | 12" Single | $8 |
