Agreed. It's the best-looking official shirt I've seen in a long while.

I think it looks cheap tbh. The golden "P" shirt for the Pandemonium tour was way better.

PSB merchandise usually looks cheap and rarely fits well. I've never understood why a band so closely connected to design and arts produces such ugly shirts. To my surprise at least the Release merchandise succeeded to be somewhat original.

The last t-shirt I had was the freebie that came with my last subscription to Literally. Some horrible Nightlife-era thing. I threw it out with great force.

Printed t-shirts with the name/reference to a band are awfully naff. Especially a stylish band like the Pet Shop Boys. A 'Rolling Stones' logo or a heavy metal band is acceptable for beachwear or the gym, as long as it is worn as a ironic statement - i. e. you aren't actually a fan. Like me wearing an 'Er*s*re' t-shirt or Madonna wearing 'Kylie'.

That red-orange should have been the proper cover art.

I'm assuming this is a Farrow Design job? Is it quite lavish?

I love all of the tour programs they've done. Pandemonium and the Somewhere are current favourites but I love the cover of this one!

Bobo, I know what you mean but I quite like the way programs are usually quite stand-alone designs.

    Maybe the cover of the inevitable yet-to-be-announced companion second disc, Acoustic? :roll:

    I think Chris would agree that the neck is too big in tour T shirts - including this one. I doubt he wears them...

    I am quite surprised how many have already appeared on e-bay but with only the front cover on display - would love to see inside and have been tempedt to bid for one though as I am going to Manchester in two weeks time will no doubt leave it and get one there.

    The Electric tour program is now a collector's item! Neil and Chris have pulled it because of a picture they didn't like! Scans please!
