Please take extreme care on emails from administration @ petshopboys-forum .com !!!!!!!!!!!
In the last days I recognise some emails about Tickets for PSB@ROH which I THINK could be a money trap. After we have to hold this email open for user requests and alerts via the contact link (at the...

Thanks for the heads-up! It’s crucial to be cautious with emails from admin@psb-forum.com, especially if they involve ticket offers. Always use official contact links for issues and avoid replying to suspicious emails.
I know yesterday (13th March) was the first time a new PSB track had been played in ages, but (as per the long standing forum rules) in future all public requests for copies of any new track, PSB or otherwise, will be deleted and/or threads containing requests closed. We will officially...
Please post times, dates, channels, etc here so forum users don't miss out.
Please try not to drift into conversation in this thread as key posts may get missed.
Ta,
Dave :D

Queen are on the list. That’s a forgone conclusion unfortunately then as every music illiterate knucklehead votes for them. Still my five votes went to PSB, New Order, Depeche, Manics and Beautiful South.

Greetings,
No Carter USM there, so I'm not voting. :lol:
I'm not surprised they're absent from the list, but I am surprised the list is so short as to exclude Suede and Joy Division.
Spent a lovely afternoon finally reading the gorgeous hardcovers that come with the New Order box sets, and I have to plead with the universe for something similar from the Pet Shop Boys. I know they (claim to) dislike looking backwards, but imagine a box for each album with the album on CD and...

Greetings,
As for New Order, I got all the 2CD collectors edition reissues when they came out 10-15 years ago or whenever it was. That was enough for me, I think. In the rare event there's something previously unreleased that's worth listening to more than once, I'd probably cherry pick a digital...
I'm a huge Pet Shop Boys fan since I was 4 years old and I wanted to share something special with you.
I’ve made an accurate instrumental recreation of one of their songs that I love the most, 'Being Boring' and I thought it would be fantastic to share it with this wonderful community...

It's a great song. I prefer the album edit to the radio edit, mainly because I love that first rush of melody, with the gorgeous string part.
I'm really looking forward to hearing the demo on the expanded Nonetheless.
I thought this couuld have been Schlager for Christmas time but the version of Chris is part of Feel , so maybe it's not going to happen. Anyway, I think the time works for a Christmas release. Why am I dancing? works like a song for Christmas,...

Received the Smash lenticular this week and have it housed with my Smash vinyl box set. Easy to see the intention of it being attached to the box lid, similar to Alternative's box.
Wonder why it never happened? 🤔
I'd definitely encourage anyone with the box set to go the extra mile and order the...
Nonetheless, the extent to which they’d been exploited was not only apparent to the band – “when we saw the royalty statements and realised that we’d been taken for one big ride” – but by their pop music peers too. “Bronski Beat went around throwing scorn on us for signing...

Oh don't get me wrong, I also don't mean to say that everything should be played live all the time. The first PSB tours Chris was also miming his way through (parts of) the songs or not doing any playing at all on stage (that's why I am not a big fan of Performance). But in FGTH's case, their first...

Some good ideas about concerts and it wouldn’t do any harm by emailing Angela.info@beckerbrown.com
I’ve emailed several times with suggestions, a few times about reissuing old tour t-shirts without a reply and I wonder if after reading the email it gets as far as Chris and Neil.
This thread is for daily discussion of a Pet Shop Boys track, selected in chronological order, from studio albums starting with Please – including Further Listening – to the new album. The idea is to allow a 24-hour period of discussion for each track – then we move on to the next one. The first 11...

For 'To Face The Truth', when I first bought the album on CD, the week of release back in 1990, it became my favourite song on the album. The Major Minor scale was a first for them and it was something completely fresh they'd tried at the time. It sounded 'black' and soulful with those organ...
Chris Lowe despite his shyness, managed to sh/ine on stage.It's worth considering hoow his personality influenced the the band's dynamics..Perhaps this balance between introversion and extroversion is what creates their unique style :) ?

Yes but those are demoes not the finished product which they handed over to Hague to polish.
Just picked up the 2013 expanded version of Electronic's debut album. The 2-CD collection comes with a long text about the birth of Electronic and the band's first years.
The text, written in that annoying language of english music critics, consistently describes Electronic's collaboration with...

Hello and welcome! Don't pay attention to the negativity. It's amazing that PSB (and this site) are still attracting new fans - like you I was 14 or 15 when I joined the forum (back in the Aimoo days) and I'm still here aged 36! How did you get into PSB?
Hey hey guys!!!
This is my latest unboxing.

I just got to think about it since I was reading some posts on the collectors discussion forum about the yes box.

I am not talking about now, as now there is a market for collections like ours. But the market for let’s say a Roy Orbison, Cliff Richard or even Dusty Springfield collection will be a lot smaller at the moment than they once were. That’s what the PSB will be in 20-30 years.

This is exciting. I wonder if the timing of the November residency will be to coincide with some new release (e.g, Nonetheless Deluxe, Disco 5, Dreamworld DVD etc etc). Dreamworld bluray will be next year, so that won't be it.
So as everyone already knows they've had a song in Saltburn and All Of Us Strangers. I was watching the TV show Industry and Opportunities was played at the end of season 3 episode one. They were also in the Netflix show The Decameron in episode 3 with What Have I Done To Deserve This?
I haven't seen this film yet but PSB are on the soundtrack like for Saltburn.

It becomes quite central because of the timing around Christmas. There are other bands given prominence, but it's clear the director felt PSB were important!

I become progressively more disappointed by New Order and more impressed by Peter Hook and the Light. He's got a class act going on there. He's very much a salesman but he also keeps the fans happy.

I mean… in general, in the west, what does a young gay man have to protest that’s unique to his sexuality? The 70-90s are where it’s at.
The fact you have to ask this is sad. Times are better for gay people in the UK, but there is still queer bashing and rampant transphobia.
Just looking at album covers and noticed, more often than not, that Chris is on the left and Neil on the right of the photo.
