Re: Frankie Knuckles RIP

I got an email this morning saying that there was a vinyl release of the Frankie Knuckles remixes that had been released as a tribute a while ago. Sadly no FK PSB remixes are on the vinyl version(s). Just to save everyone the trouble of looking.

Re: Track-by-Track: From Please to Nonetheless

As a teenager not once did I think of PSB songs as overtly gay. Maybe everyone else just saw the aircraft flying over my dim teenaged head, but never at that time did I listen to Please and think "Oh yeah, he's talking about a gay relationship there". In truth I think the ambiguity of Neil...

Re: New single „Dancing star“ (digital April 3rd / CD May 3rd)

Amazon are saying 3:02. Same length as album version of I Wouldn't Normally.. which to me is so much punchier than the single mix. As Neil once said, 'it's not how long a song is, it's how long it feels'... Oh a new thread perhaps of "PSB songs that end too soon"? There's a lots of songs ...

Yes - I guess under normal circumstances as a clear jewel case this would have made sense to be there.

Re: Track-by-Track: From Please to Nonetheless

Violence Neil's vocal is lovely on this track ! The music on the Please version has always been a bit disappointing for me though, although that was corrected on the fabulous reworked Hacienda version that was later released. (6/10) This was the only dip for me on Please. I loved every other track ...

Re: You Need More: A Pet Shop Boys Listening Guide

Fascinating and interesting well reasoned picks.

A lot of love for Elysium there too which I can get with.

Re: Very album pics (in particular Chris' head)

I just bought the remastered vinyl of Very (let's not get into why the heck I haven't had that in my collection for 30 years :oops: ) but was struck - as I was when I spotted it the first time on yhe CD inlay - by the little faces of Neil and Chris dotted across the sleeve, and how one in particula...

Re: New album Nonetheless

My favourite range of PSB merch was the Super and Super Tour set of things. Lovely stuff. The Nonetheless stuff is nice too. Agreed! I’m still trying to find and buy that gorgeous Super mug!!! We picked one up at the show - I probably would have given it a miss myself, but it was my daughter's firs...

Re: SMASH BluRay replacement

I wonder if the Boys read some of these threads and think "What an ungrateful bunch our fans are!"? I'm guilty of it - moaning about the BluRay replacement and how long it's taking to arrive - let's remember that they actually DIDN'T have to correct this at all and reflects how strongly th...

You can still access the snippets, if you follow the original links, at least the Superchumbo mix.
I guess I don't have the "special sauce" - nothing's working for me.

Re: New album Nonetheless

Could it get any lamer? It's not my style, I can't stand wearing band t-shirts or merch, but I'm not sure why it's lame. Some people enjoy it, and will love it. New here but the same negative voices on repeat make it a really horrible place. I ignored your posts about Jesus, but I could have called...

Re: New single „Dancing star“ (digital April 3rd / CD May 3rd)

It really shouldn't cost that much. These are dinky little CD's you can throw in one of those stiff cardboard shipping pouches. No bigger than a Moonpig card...I can get those shipped to me in Canada from the UK for just a few quid.

The dates online are all over the place - March 31 2026, January 1st 2025...

I think if it were April 9, 2024 though we'd have heard about it by now from official channels.
