Is this what PSB are giving us in the way of a Xmas Card this year?

Last post

Did you make that? It's so brilliant I'm shocked they didn't come up with it themselves.

Why thank you, yes I did, and I'm surprised I haven't seen that done sooner.

Boys, feel free to steal that one. :lol:

First post

So what / how many official versions of Axis are there? I know that there's these:

Album version
Radio Edit
Boys Noize Remix
Boys Noize Dub

But I've also come across another version simply titled Extended at 5.57 in length. Kinda sounds like a demo version and has less vocals in it. Can't find...

Last post

Greetings,

That can't be possible. It just sounds so well made and different to the album version. If it is a bootleg hats off to whoever made it. I love it.

I agree with you. I'm just listening to it now. So good!

Retro. :)

This is my order… what’s yours?

1. Feel
2. Dancing star
3. Through you (extended mix)
4. Beauty has laid siege to the city
5. Love is the law
6. I’ve got plans (involving you)
7. It’s not a crime
8. If Jesus had a sister
9. New London boy
10. The dark end of the street
11. The schlager hit parade...

I’m collating everyone’s rankings and I’ll publish an overall chart once people have stopped inputting. But I need the full list for it to be able to work.

We are a perverse bunch, aren't we?

At this rate, Dog's gonna collate the rankings and everything's going to be equal first. :lol:

Don‘t like the design.

I agree, kinda. The PSB never had aspirations, as best I can tell, of not being as commercial as possible. For a brief moment in 1984 they were “underground” but I don’t think it was ever their desire to remain there.

A bit like Leonard Cohen towards the end of his life

Yes, just like Leonard, I can see PSB having a late career explosion of creativity. I think the catalyst for Leonard was his manager ripping him off; let’s hope for different drivers for PSB.

Grand Theft Auto VI is out next year. It would be awesome if they were included again, just like they were on GTAV.

The Human League were featured on one of the radio channels of GTA Vice city, and it was awesome to roam the city to the sound of Love action.

I love the extended mixes and I believe some of them would've fitted well the the albums instead of on the 12''. Not all of them though, some are too long or are too eclectic.

Memory of The Future extended mix could definately find a place on Electric.

There are lots of PSB Vids (Fan vids or otherwise) on Youtube..

Let me start off with this one..

Did anyone else notice that PSB posted the card on Instagram yesterday morning and then almost immediately took it down? I barely had time to comment and it disappeared.

Pete Gleadall also had it up on his Instagram stories.
