After "Did you see me coming?" nothing surprises me anymore.

Once they stop I hope there'll be regular archival releases over time, even if it means scraping the bottom of the barrel a little. I don't like the idea of a sudden "this is it, nothing more".

I don’t quite understand the reason behind this book. Who is it aimed at ? Are fans going to buy it just because it’s a Psb item? Is your average music fan going to buy it when all the lyrics are readily available on the psb site ? I see it as a test. If it works we might see more of that in the fu...

Chris should have written the introduction

And only eight years since Ultimate.....

Yeah I forgot about that, see how my fandom is waning But Ultimate didn't have a vinyl edition, did it? Besides it felt like a complete Parlophone/EMI thing, whereas PopArt seemed to have a little more input from PSB...

Moving on from the reissues thread, I believe that the next step should be a vinyl edition of a new GH. I'd really like to get the singles in that format without having to look for Discography or PopArt LPs on Discogs. It's a sort of a gap in the catalogue now, even though they don't seem to like GH...

If it includes Relentless surely they would have mentioned it, wouldn't they? The original recording is so layered it probably needs 2 discs in order to sound better. And possible sound quality issues on such a recording might be the reason why they left it as the final release of the set.

...Been a fan since '93 and today I gave away for the first time a PSB item (that being "Pandemonium", which I never liked at all). That plus having yet to buy the new FLs gives me a strange feeling about my loyalty... So you still have a copy of Disco 2?! Or Absolutely Fabulous? Or New York City B...

Never liked "Pandemonium" for that very reason - studio vocals are very up in the mix and the effect is so annoying. When I get a live album I want to hear clear live vocals... The FLs - I bought mp3s of the "new" stuff but there's really nothing earth-shattering there, except for "Ring Road", which...

Not sure I'd like to hear again Neil recalling how they met, "and the rest is history".Documentaries and interviews and reissues have been pretty exhaustive now. Having said that, "Exhaustive" could be a good title for such a documentary, or even for the planned final box set!

Disco 1 definitely deserves a remaster. It's an important page of their catalogue, not just for its concept, but also because in some ways it merges better than "Please" their european dance sensibility and their early american influences. Disco 2 makes sense if combined with Relentless, while volum...

I think that having this re issued is pointless.... Especially starting for Disco 2 and not Disco 1... There are other records that could be released on vinyl such as Battleship Potemkin or Closer to heaven...

First one should be Alternative, by miles.

Has Naughty Chris ever commented about that line on "Twentieth Century" which sounds like "Stay with me, dysentery"?
