Re: Fuzzbox

It was Mark Refoy contributing (played on the Release tour) not PSB. I think. Yes, ''This is gem of a record and illustrates the prowess of a very under-rated band. It has all the hits but on this cataclysmically amazing occasion is gifted with guest slots by the likes of legendary soul queen Melan...

Re: Track-by-Track: From Please to Nonetheless

A friend of mine years ago was at an event where Stephen Hague chatted about making West End Girls and apparently played around with the faders on the multi track... I was very envious when I heard about this. A terrific song with a wonderful production...

Re: Track-by-Track: From Please to Nonetheless

The train announcement is at Victoria station and is the 14:27 Epsom Downs service calling at Battersea Park, Clapham Junction, Wandsworth Common, Balham (almost inaudible), Streatham Common and presumably all other stations to Epsom Downs, via West Croydon. I've never heard a train announcement in...

Re: Track-by-Track: From Please to Nonetheless

Neil's vocal on this is wonderful. I always thought how posh he sounds on the word ''rumour''...

The tune has a part reminiscent of Divine's ''Shoot your Shot''...

Re: Pet Shop Boys on 12-inch - Monday 26 February

Ah right so not an actual journey then? No, only an emotional one! Good story all the same! I think Chris is close to his mum...do we hear about his sister Vicky anymore? I always think of her in a leather jacket which i saw her wearing once. Yes, I've bumped into her a few times over the years as ...

Neil is wearing a long coat, but seems to be a little gown-ish. And with the turtle neck - stylish!

Get the impression he has a lightsaber up his sleeve 😅
He's just pleased to see us...

The Youtube poster may respond to a question about this I guess.

Re: PSB & OMD

If I stream one PSB track on Amazon Music (as I haven't stopped it playing a random track afterwards) it will often go into something by OMD.

Re: New Single - Loneliness

Great stuff. I've been out and,about today and battery on the devices I'm left with is quite low, but I had one listen from my phone speaker and one through headphones. It's a Dolby Atmos mix that I was able to stream on Amazon Music. I hope the whole album is mixed in Atmos. Look out for a listeni...

Re: PSB & OMD

There's a slowly progressing discussion in the off topic section about OMD and I wonder if any of you know about any connection between PSB and OMD?
