First post

With the “general” release of Relentless, it’s got me reminiscing of that heady Summer/Autumn of 1993.

What are your stories of buying the album?
How did you feel walking into Our Price and seeing that orange CD case on the shelves?
Did you push the boat out and grab the Very/Relentless copy?

Last post

Very was the first CD I bought.
Very Relentless was offered by a friend of mine ten years after.

This friend of mine uses to sleep one night a week in my old flat.
The last night he stayed, in the morning, I found a note on the kitchen table check inside the oven . Inside another note check the...

With the upcoming reissue of Relentless here are a couple of related articles from 1993.

Last post

Reading the this (thanks for the article), you understand why they don't sound as good as they did at that time. There are not so many people implicated on the albums, working on different recording studios.

At that time, Pet Shop Boys and Kylie Minogue had the most expensive budgets from EMI....

How much are these bad boys worth these days? No sign of either on recent ebay history.

Anyone know whether they are lithographs or just posters?

Anyone seen any updates on this?

The link closed off (presumably on the September 1st cut off date as advised).

I'm still not entirely sure how they're going to do this logistically speaking.

Also, can we presume the original copies were not actually recalled and are still out there (ie can...

First post

I'm a bit fed up with this.
All of my favourite artists have came to my city.
Pet Shop Boys seem to be very stubborn with only touring their own country.
What's the deal. Why can't they visit Melbourne Australia.
I've been following PSB since Yes and Pandemoniumm, i.e 2009.
They haven't been here...

Last post

I'd love them to come too - and no better time when they are performing their Greatest Hits tour!

When they came to Sydney in 2014, they did 3 nights at Carriageworks, a 1500 capacity venue.

I think their concern is about ticket sales in Australia and recouping the costs of transporting all the...

I wish PSB would do more with their fantastic catalogue, particularly while they are between albums and are busy touring. There are plenty of things I would happily part with money for and would plug gaps in their range. And I don’t mean pulling out substandard demos to pad out new editions of...

Last post

The main reissues I'd like to see is the complete back catalogue of singles from 1985 to 1997.
It's sort of crazy to think of how exclusive these songs are, especially when they're from the most
popular time in PSB's timeline.
After seeing how other artists such as Human League and Depeche Mode...

I've been a massive fan of Cicero since day dot.
All of his first run of singles are some of my all time favorites of the 90's - especially 'Love is Everywhere'

And as previously mentioned above - the new material over the past few years has been some of his best too :

If PSB are a top 5 band for you, then which other 4 do you have ranked with them?

For me it would be

Tame Impala
Bob mould
Justice
Electronic (and associated sumner/marr output)

Also surprised none of us had Stereolab. Their later releases are bordering on PSB synthpop fabness.

It is surprising there isn't a little more PSB/Stereolab overlap. They show up in my top 5, though (post #117).

I've always fancied the idea of Stereolab covering Ego music .

Nice!

I'm still liking the black. I don't like way the pink accentuates the outline of their chins. The black softens the images.

I was just watching this for the first time in ages, and think it's beautiful and really suits the mood of the song. If you're going to release a Diane Warren ballad then you obviously have to make a Russian Constructivist video. Aerosmith did.

I always thought it was a video made for No time For Tears that they just repurposed for Numb when NTFT got cancelled
