Re: ***FOR SALE*** LITERALLY ISSUES,MINT CONDITION

Issue 42 (the final issue) is so rare. Hardly ever comes up for sale. I wonder how many were circulated?

Re: A weird (PSB related) experiment going unexpectedly well!

Few day ago I had a very crazy idea, and I tried it without any hope... but incredibly... it worked! Taking the moments from the BBC documentary "Now & Then" when Neil plays the demo cassettes at full speed in fast-forward, and playing those moments at a very very very slow speed... y...

Re: Smash white vinyls limited edition sticker

I like the theory that they were planning to put a version of the Smash lenticular on the front of the limited set but had to abandon it for some reason. They are the right size. https://shop.petshopboys.co.uk/gb/pet-s ... 35281.html

Re: Pet Shop Boys on Youtube

It seems the PSB demo of 'Don't Ask Me' has surfaced and someone has posted a few bits of it on Youtube. From GeoWayne's site: They recorded a demo with this name at Ray Roberts's Camden studio in 1984 around the same time they composed "Rent." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTY7XalkxUA

The performance bowler hats. One of my favourite PSB looks.

Re: New album Nonetheless

Great album. But Secret of Happiness sounds like I'm standing in a lift.

Re: Club show at @KOKOLondon on 26th May.

The Koko event is this coming Sunday.

5pm doors. I see someone suggested they would be on about 6.30pm?

Presumably we can expect an edited version of the new Dreamworld setlist. Perhaps including the first live performance of Dancing Star?

Re: New London Boy Sax

Dislike sax myself, although I really like NLB. Would prefer it without. Just sounds too cheesy. I also assumed it wasn't real.

Postal only with the vinyl. I read somewhere that they only do a 1000 unit run but I don't know how accurate that is.

Re: Hints of the past

The rap section of New London Boy reminds me of the rap section of Happiness Is An Option. Same 'flow'.

Re: Electronic Sound magazine

I notice along with the serial number, there is a signature etched into the vinyl in a few places.

Phil something. Anyone any idea who the 'Phil' is?
