Shame it hasn't been upscaled for blu-ray. The codec would have been better and the bitrate could have been increased over what DVD can offer even given the source being SD. Anyway, at least I can't wear this out like the VHS because I kept rewinding and pausing the video during certain sections. Fo...

My Neil has finally arrived (post has been a very sporadic around here at the moment due to loads of staff at the sorting office being ill / isolating because of covid).

They aren't coming out of their little boxes, but they are so cute

I wonder if the Years and Years cover will be the theme tune or is that a bit too cheesy

I've just had notification from HMV that Chris has been despatched in the post today, but says nothing about Neil

Stuck half the Pandemonium (the Stars and the Sun Dub) to the album version to give me an extended version.

I think you might be right there. If it had come out as a proper single probably would have been in this weeks top 40. Even though it was a Christmas number 1, Always On My Mind never seems to get classed as a "Christmas" song.

Good question. I've had to base it on how many albums I own by an artist.

#1 - PSB
#2 - The Prodigy
#3 - Erasure
#4 - Robbie Williams (this surprised me)
#5 - OMD

I've had to vote for the I Feel Love bassline, even if this was made by accident, it's an iconic bit of synth. Shame we can't have a 2nd and 3rd place vote as I'd have gone for Blue Monday bassline second followed by West End Girls.

New drama from Russell T Davis for Channel 4 staring Alexandra Olly. Teaser trailer features THAT slightly famous PSB tune

Pointy hats probably most iconic, but can see the issue with the box. Maybe we'll get Chris in the Suburbia mode and Neil in Always on My Mind / Actually dinner jacket. Go West mock up does look good though.

Summer of '88. I liked the singles, but never really had a favourite band until I got a tape to tape copy of Actually from a friend and listened to it repeatably during a that years holiday to Mallorca. At that point I decided they were my "favourite band" and bought Introspective on CD (m...

Just to add some nearly useless piece of knowledge/trivia about all this subject...the "Always On My mind" music video includes ONE SHOT (1'' in lenght) that isn't included on the final movie cut!! So it´s impossible to re-create it with a 100% accurate result! We can get near to 99,5% an...

Out of all of their videos, Always On My Mind was the one I was expecting to see in that "HD" list because of the BFI work done on It Couldn't Happen Here. So who fancies ripping the Blu-ray disc and re-editing it to match the music video, presumably with the 4% PAL speed up ;) Actually is...

Disco 5 would be most welcome. Since the Price trilogy was already pretty "Strobes and Banging", maybe we'll have to have a more Release or Elysium style album before going full on again and getting Disco 5?

From Twitter: "The Limited Edition DVD/Blu-ray set of PSB’s 1988 feature film "It Couldn’t Happen Here" is now sold out at most stores. Details of a standard edition will be announced shortly." So I assume this would be a standard case dvd/blu-ray and not the book thing. Which to...
