The PSB online store is horrid. They should just partner with Amazon to sell their merchandise and fulfill their orders, it would work much, much better.

Re: Annually + CD - Published on April 14th, 2023

Received mine in Michigan today. I swear I checked Tuesday and there was no tracking history after Jersey, but today there's tracking history from Sunday, May 21 forward. Either the postman I spoke with was correct, that customs sometimes holds entire containers for a month, or tracked mail from the...

Re: Annually + CD - Published on April 14th, 2023

I went to my local post office and spoke with my favorite postman, Rich, last Saturday. He said that in the past five years US customs has taken to randomly locking down entire shipments of incoming overseas mail, then systematically going through it and the process usually takes a month. Could expl...

Re: Annually + CD - Published on April 14th, 2023

I paid extra to have my shipped with tracking, I wonder of that's the difference i.e. if this those who just paid for standard mail received theirs, but the those paid for internal tracking didn't? Hi @Danimal, I don't know if you were already counting me (I posted on this a couple of times in April...

Re: Annually + CD - Published on April 14th, 2023

I don't know if it will do any good, but I just sent an email to Pet Shop Boys management asking for help: Hello, I'm writing to you today as a last resort. On December 20, 2022, the same day it was offered for sale, I ordered two copies of the latest installment of Pet Shop Boys "Annually"...

Re: Annually + CD - Published on April 14th, 2023

I've been followed up with the PSB store regarding the lost deliveries for those in the US who ordered their copies of "Annually" via international tracked post. I count three of us who have posted to this forum. Please see the message I sent them this past Sunday below. Warner is absolute...

Re: New Album!

Usually the strings and horns come close to last so they probably finished shortly after posting those updates.

Re: Annually + CD - Published on April 14th, 2023

I live in Michigan, USA and ordered two copies of Annually. My order has show NO movement on the Jersey post site since April 19 and today is May 6. I emailed the store for support, but don't expect to get any as my last support request, which was simply to gain access to my store account, went unan...

Re: Lost

Using the completion dates from Neil’s Literally diary to put them in chronological order, a Super “Further Listening” style playlist including the new Lost tracks would look something like this: 1. One-hit wonder 2. The dead can dance 3. A cloud in a box 4. The white dress 5. Kaputnik 6. Wierderse...

Re: New Album!

A while back they said they had written, so far, two albums worth of material. As we’ve seen in the past, when they make a statement like this they don’t just mean 20 or 24 songs, but rather enough high quality material that could comprise two actual releasable albums. After such a long interval I s...

Re: New Album!

I only know James ford from Depeche Mode. Not a fan of “Spirit” or of what I’ve heard of “Memento Mori” so far.

Re: Bands/musicians who have been influenced by the Pet Shop Boys

The band Suede have been open about their admiration for PSB. Both Johnny Marr and Bernard Sumner have discussed how PSB have influenced them as songwriters and producers. Bill Drummond of the KLF said the original, officially unreleased version of their “White Room” album and their single “Kylie Sa...

Re: Purple Zone and Decide on CD ?

Probably won’t happen, but it would be nice if they released a CD single of “Burning the heather” along with “Decide” and its remix with an issue of “Literally” or as a webstore exclusive.

Re: The 10-track "US-version" of Introspective that could've been

It’s interesting that a number of years ago a series of white label US 7” promos were discovered of edits of all six “Introspective” tracks. It seems EMI in the US may have very well considered a different configuration of “Introspective” for the US market after all. The edits seem to be professiona...

Re: Lost

Greetings, On a side note, this is the first time I remember an Annually book being "re-promoted"... normally it's sold out before release without that. Could it be that postage costs and living expenses are hitting hard, or might we be expecting Lost to become a multi-format release, wor...
