The final results are in for my poll this past week in which I asked my site visitors to rate the six most recent Pet Shop Boys songs on a scale of 1-10 based on how they compare to the Boys' body of work in general. And the song in this group that received the highest average rating was:

Hello everyone,

Me and my ladyfriend were due to see the Pet Shop Boys in Brighton this year but she has recently found out that she has the early stages of breast cancer. She is lucky enough to have caught it early, but still has to have a lumpectomy. This takes place about 5 days before the...

Sorry if this was discussed before, but nothing came up using the Search function.
Just today I realised that the mix of Friendly Fire included on Format is a different version compared with the I Get Along DVD single and Nightlife/Further listening version.

Am I crazy or am I right?

Just the books, not the CDs (you'll also get the QR code card with the 2023 edition), only read once.
Both are out of print.

€20 each excl P&P

PM me if you're interested.

Have you ever noticed how bad the attempts to recreate West End Girls are? Go and check out YouTube. All but one don't even get close. Not only are the sounds wrong in most cases, but they don't even get the notes correct. Especially the Trumpet solo - no one gets that even close.

After being...

Has anybody got this advance cassette? And can tell what version of That's My Impression is on there? 7 or 12 or something else?

I'd guess this was removed from distribution once they'd settled on the final track listing. But was really 2/0 considered a closing track? It screams opener (at...

Never came across this but this is interesting-

Has anyone read this? Sounds interesting, but I'm not going to pay 24 euros for an article, to be honest.

Simon Mayo has “Please” as this week’s album of the week on his Greatest Hits Radio show. The second time it’s been featured.

I don’t know who’s doing his research, but yesterday he played “Love Comes Quickly” and said it was the first song Neil and Chris ever wrote together.

Today he’s playing...

I know a Roland JD 800 was used for Pet Shop Boys - Can you forgive her? I did read the JP 8000 was a popular Synth as well with other 90s groups like Prodigy, it also mentioned Pet Shop Boys too.
Does anyone have any idea what PSB songs have the Roland JP 8000 played on them?

Hello all,

Bids have already been made, but if you are interested please do have a look at the link below.

Hello all!

Title says it all!

I saw a PSB RIAA Gold record for Actually a couple years ago on Ebay and I kick myself for not getting it.

I have quite a collection of RIAA awards but PSB continues to allude me.

Please reach out if you have one and are willing to part with it!

Best!

I know it is a tragedy, I know that's clearly off topic but it reflects how strongly affected are PSB with the tragedy of Ukraine. They are even including that kind of news on their twitter account:

A Russian lawyer, Dimitri Talantov, who has been defending a journalist charged with treason, has...

Hi all,
Over the years I foolishly sold my collection of PSB CD singles and early vinyl singles, now I'm trying to re-collect them. Ideally, I'm looking for everything in mint condition. I'm hoping there is one or more fans on here who have collected doubles they would like to sell without...
