Re: Reissues project

just noticed 3 breakings of the cardinal song title law: "Boy Strange" Sail Away" and Song For Guy". Not sure if "Paris city boy" is a mistake or not. Makes more sense with a lower case c. Boy Strange isn't only a description but also a name. Sail Away and Song For Guy...

Re: Reissues project

If they own their post-1990 music they could as well have released this new batch on X2 rather than on Parlo... The way I see it, it's like Neil, by dismissing the 2001 reissues and the whole sense of remastering/reissuing albums, is basically saying "don't bother with the new batch" too....

Re: Reissues project

Did Neil imply that the relaunch of the first 6 albums was a specific Parlophone request? Have to say his answers were unusually confusing, as if it's so Parlophone could have pushed them to change the tracklists as well... As I understand, he just doesn't want fans to get ripped off. It's not like...

Re: Reissues project

So we have had For All Of Us from Nightlife FL and Reunion ("Electro" Mix) from Release FL, do we think that a track from Fundamental FL will get the same pre-release treatment? If so what do we reckon? I'd guess at The Performance Of My Life (Demo) It'll be One-Way Street (Demo). iTunes ...

Re: No Photos again !!!!

I bet Chris is starting to understand how Michael Jackson must have felt after years of not being able to take a step without a camera in front of him ... He on the other hand never denied fans a photo ;)

Re: JULY 7th!!!

Can we merge this thread with https://www.petshopboys-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=30142 ? There's really no need to have several chaotic threads about the reissues, is there? We could have dedicated threads to each of the albums now that we know the details, though. Just a suggestion for clari...

Re: 2017: "New Batch" of reissued & remastered albums w/ Further Listening albums

Weren't PSB on like 3 different labels in the US during the Nightlife/Release/Fundamental eras? That could be why those are specifically referenced. Yes and Elysium should be fine, no? (I don't think Electric was ever part of the deal?) Yes and no. Nightlife and Fundamental were on Sire and Rhino, ...
