What a lovely review! I particularly liked this:

This deluxe edition of Nonetheless includes demos for every song, which are so fully formed that it’s like watching Tennant and Lowe take off their suits to reveal slightly more rudimentary suits underneath…

Neil must’ve told this story a thousand times, but I love when he talks about recording with Dusty and when she first arrived at the studio asked Neil and Chris “How do you want me to sound?” and the boys looked at each other and then responded “like Dusty Springfield!” And she says “oh ok yeah I ca ...

I would say that ‘Daydreaming’ is perhaps one of their most underrated songs. It’s fantastic, particularly the 12” mix. Anyone with me?

TSHP?

EDIT: Oh, ‘The Schlager Hit Parade’. I really hate this trend of referring to songs by their initial letters. Stop being so bloody lazy, have some consideration for the reader and write the full name!

There’s a brief mention of the tea set in today’s Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/culture/202 ... guide-2024

I think the orchestral version of 'Somewhere' is underrated.

I’m still hoping for their cover of Joe Fagin’s classic “That’s Livin’ Alright”.

Wey aye man!

I could really imagine Dusty singing 'The dark end of the street'.

not sure if we are allowed to talk about the elephant in the room yet but the Neil Tennant AI on this chorus could be a great official single , much much better than the Bowie cover IMHO , I know the Azzalto voice is not for everyone, just skip to the chorus then at minute 1:03 https://www.youtube ...

Well what is in the pipeline (in ascending order): Naked 3rd b-side collection Disco 5 Dreamworld DVD Other than the above, we are waiting for: X-mas single Singles complete digital boxset A Man From The Future Anything else? I also suspect/hope that there will be singles from Dreamworld DVD. But ...

One easy way to tell the Performance version is that it has extra orchestral hits playing the main riff.

I’ve no idea whether it’s Chris or not, but the flick back of the head did remind me of Chris’s dancing in the ‘Domino Dancing’ video.

The song is spoiled for me by Neil’s peculiar pronunciation of its title.

Trevor was last heard producing an album of cover versions.
