Pleasure Boys is the seventh single by the British New Romantic group Visage, released on Polydor Records in October, 1982.
The track is the only of the band's singles not to be taken from an album, though it was subsequently included on their "Fade To Grey: The Singles Collection" compilation album in 1983.
History
This single was the first released by Visage after the exit of Midge Ure. Ure left the project because of growing differences with Steve Strange regarding the music style of songs and the way of promoting them (Strange wanted to promote The Anvil in the U.S. riding a camel through New York's Fifth Avenue) and his dislike of the way John Luongo mixed "Night Train", saying the remix sounded "too similar" to the album version. Some of Visage's last album songs were developed during the rehearsals of this period of the ensemble's history.
