Re: Time to get ready for "Annually 2021"...
The sad thing is that Annually will become substantially more expensive for those in the EU because of Brexit, as the value of the book exceeds €22 (it was €24 in 2020). The €29.12 I paid in 2020 incl P&P will be that amount *plus* €12.50 import fee plus Dutch VAT (21%), but will exclude the UK ...

Re: In the night "diskette"
It's also dated '96 I see now. A copy of the sounds used for a later synth/midi device ? Planned for use in a tour or maybe the Savoy live shows (in which ITN was not played)?

Re: Robert Smith from The Cure isn't a Neil Tennant fan
Different musical universes so nothing to worry about.
Nowadays PSB get more musical credits for their current (past 80s) work than The Cure
Love them both but after 1992 The Cure ceased to be relevant IMO

Re: Do you think these songs should be included on Dream World Tour?
It's not a UK-only tour so I do not see why they should only include UK top 10 hits... If it were worldwide hits, it would make no difference other than the fact it would be a shorter set!! What I mean is that they should feel free to include songs that were hits in other countries. To me a hit is ...

Re: NEW West End Girls 2x12" (Nov 2020)
Anyone tried actually ordering this? I get as far as an order then it tells me I can’t have it shipped until I order €40 worth of stuff. 🤷🏻♂️ Don’t have a clue either. The label is a Dutch record label but nowhere on any of the Dutch online or physical record stores can you find it. Neither does a...

Re: Remixes you think are better than the original version
Definately It's Alright (10" version) For the rest the originals are pretty good too. There are some other remixes which I prefer over the already great 7" or album version (as I am a 12" fan) but the 10" version of It' Alright is the only version of this song I can actually list...

Re: Live performances of Chris in past and now.
I chatted briefly to Chris at the bar at Muzik and I thought he looked better than I expected. I think sometimes he doesn’t photograph particularly well - I feel that pain! It’s always difficult when your public persona is a disguise, as people’s image of your true appearance is probably the Actual...

Re: It Couldn’t Happen Here June 2020 Release Confirmed
Well it depends on what you see as the right frame rate. The bluray release replicates the theatrical release at the time. That the later PAL VHS was faster (and thus shorter) is irrelevant I would say, as that was not the theatrical release. And if you want a replication of the PAL video release yo...

Re: Video Remasters
..maybe there are some hopes with "Heart" (no big expectations anyway...) and Always On My mind (that one was included on the new movie Bluray, isn´t it?? Is it really in HD there??) 'Always On My Mind' on the 'It Couldn't Happen Here' Blu-ray looks awful. Definitely not remastered or 4K....

Re: PSB vinyl art
Hate these vinyl art things, whether it's a clock, an ash tray or design like this, as they butcher up actual vinyls. This may not be an issue for the average Elvis record that floods the second hand market (or whatever 70s sampler or James Last record that is catching dust somewhere) but I do have ...

Re: It Couldn’t Happen Here June 2020 Release Confirmed
IMDB lists the movie's length as 1h26m, that is the same duration as the bluray, so that one represents the theatrical release: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093284/technical?ref_=tt_dt_spec The PAL DVD is 4% too fast and thus too short, ie due to the PAL speedup as mentioned before. Why the songs i...

Re: It Couldn’t Happen Here June 2020 Release Confirmed
That’s probably due to the 4% PAL speedup compared to film due to a difference in frame rate, 24 vs 25 frames per second: http://www.michaeldvd.com.au/articles/PALSpeedUp/PALSpeedUp.asp That is no longer an issue with bluray, but in the old days PAL VHS, Laserdisc etc were all 4% too fast. You heard...
