Giving the CD single tracks a proper listen, having only streamed them once before. Just realised 'Feel (Radio Edit)' is missing the final verse that appears on the superior album version.

My official store order, placed on Tuesday, arrived today. The question I now need to consider, not only for my 'B-sides' digital playlist, but also for any future PSB-release B-sides compilation, is should 'Schlager-Hitparade (Deutsches Demo)' be included? Does it count as an alternative recording ...

Still shows as in stock for me: https://shop.petshopboys.co.uk/gb/pet-s ... 24020.html

Did anyone else in the UK order from Amazon? Mine still hasn't been dispatched. Might even cancel and order from the official store. *gulp* Just had a notification that mine isn’t arriving until between 17th of October and 15th of November :wall: I’ll give it a few more days and see what happens. I...

Mine says arriving by 10pm tomorrow here in the UK. Hasn't despatched yet though. See my previous post.

If Clean Air Hybrid electric Bus isn't on it I'll be gutted. I guess if it's not hopefully it will appear on the next B-sides set? It wouldn't be on the next B-sides album if it wasn't included with a single release. More likely it'll crop up on a 'Nonetheless (Futher Listening)' in about 5 years t...

Anyone in the UK who ordered from Amazon had their CD single arrive or despatched yet? Mine hasn't yet despatched and says arrives Tuesday, but the product listing is saying delivery 14 Oct - 12 Nov and "usually despatched within 1 to 2 months". I order from Amazon to take advantage of the...

Left to my Own Devices was the Christmas No1 on the Scottish Charts, Xmas 1988. Unfortunately I never found evidence of it, but I'm sure I remember this being announced on Radio Clyde. Chat GPT tells me it was Cliff Richard with 'Mistletoe & Wine' in the Scottish singles chart. Probably likely ...

Am I wrong, or How Can You Expect To Be Taken Seriously is the ONLY Parlophone single never published on CD, or released in full quality for digital download? Correct - for the UK 7" version. The US 'Perfect Attitude 7"' was released on CD single there. The only way to get the UK 7" ...

With the Brothers in Rythm version, the 7" is just a straightforward edit of the 12" version, with the exception of the 'you gotta have fun' lyric, which strangely is on the 7", but not the 12". I've often wondered if that was added onto the 7" version afterward, to try and...

I think some songs were missing some of the audio tracks in the BBC coverage. 'Paninaro', me at noticeably, which was missing those feedbacked guitar samples, the stringed chords and the French horn notes.

One to pick up the extra tracks as downloads I suppose. Same here. Already have 'Nonetheless' and 'Furthermore' on CD and vinyl, so don't feel the need to buy a third physical copy of the album. I usually buy most PSB albums and singles on CD for the packaging/artwork, but will make an exception fo...

I only wish I hadn’t learned that Sunblest is a brand of white bread; I always imagined it as something more mysterious! I was already familiar with the brand of bread from my 1970s childhood, but for ages I thought “surely he can’t mean that?” so assumed it was some kind of Catholic religious thin...

My favourite Pets Shop Boys song. Played this in the morning before my last day at secondary school in 1991. I find it haunting and love the arrangement. The version that opened 'Performance' was stunning too, as are both the extended mixes (yes, there are two!).
