Re: Track-by-Track: From Please to Nonetheless
I was delighted when quite out of the blue 'West End girls' unexpectedly gave up more of its secrets about three years ago. We finally learned just what those spoken words on the street in the intro are: http://www.muzines.co.uk/blog/sound-diving-1-west-end-girls/43 We also learned that as well as p...

Re: Next Single
I am sure there will be at least one new song as a B-side on the next single.

Re: Your Instant Classics
I'm going to steer clear of the big singles even though most of them were instant classics for me, because plenty has already been written about them. Later tonight - I think the first time I heard this delightful ballad may well have been a clip of the live Whistle Test performance during the 1988 ...

Re: PSB as a group - timeline
I’m really interested in the Ray Roberts period at his Camden 8 studio, because we really know very little about it. They posted a photo of Ray when he sadly passed away a few years ago, but I’ve never seen a photo of that studio or them in it with Ray. I wonder if there are any?

Re: Nonetheless - Blu-ray
I’m still hoping for an instrumental version.

Re: Lead Singles - Commercial Comparison
The single version of Rent is far bouncier than the album version, which is more subtle and understated. These things are subjective, of course, but the single version was much more exciting to my 15-year-old ears at the time. And that was the thing with the Pets - they were exciting. Being boring ...

Re: Lead Singles - Commercial Comparison
Being boring's notorious chart entry at 36 in November 1990 came on the back of panel sales of 447, a paltry figure. Basically, it was estimated to have sold 7,500 copies in its first week. The second single from the previous album, Left to my own devices, had sold three times as many copies in its...

Re: Nonetheless deluxe CD/vinyl
I also noticed that 'In Bits' is missing from the Lyrics section. There are probably others.

Re: Piano Room Month - 2024
James Ford also wanted them to take the easy way. How do you know that? Were you in the studio with them? Neil said Ford wanted them to make simpler compositions or something like that on an interview. Loneliness for example, it's a good track but simpler than Left to my own devices. I think you ju...
