Following on from a comment in a post last week I thought it might be interesting to find out people's favourite artwork.

For me the visual side of PSB was one of the things that first attracted me to the band - I loved the fact that back in the day, quite often you only found out what the sleeve...

Pet Shop Boys today reveal a special expanded edition of their latest album, “Nonetheless”, which will be released in a triple black vinyl set, double CD set and digitally on 22nd November. Link to pre-order below.

The expanded edition will feature the full “Nonetheless” album plus four new...

Elysium reassessed

An expanded edition of Nonetheless is clear and the fifth single too but we don't know anything about it. The release for the expanded edition is in November but is there something waiting for December?, a single?, an EP?. Maybe the answer is no . But bear in mind they have been written many songs...

In the latest podcast interview (was it with Jake Shears?) Neil again uttered his regrets about not doing a whole album with Dusty. So I thought there could be a lost Dusty album, and there is if we use the extended versions. A six track album only but in length like a proper LP.

In Private 12''...

I thought it might be interesting to have a separate thread for the artwork, but feel to merge if it's overkill.

So, they're back on the covers.... This is the first album they've been on the cover of since Fundamental, isn't it? 18 years ago! Interesting to see the return of a classic PSB font,...

Amazing photos !

Sorry if this has been a topic before, but living in Canada, as I do, you don't often hear PSB except perhaps the odd radio play of West End girls on a retro radio station, or similarly popular Please/Actually era songs in various stores (What have I done to deserve this? and Always on my mind pop up from time to time).

Today I was really...

I think PSB hate some things about the reaction of the public to their songs. One of them is well known and they have recognized it, their uptempo songs are more appreciated than their downtempo tracks. But the other one is not something negative. PSB have an hability to create good covers,...

Just wondering which of PSB albums have been released in instrumental versions
I know about:
Elysium - special edition of the album release
Hotspot - special edition of the album release
Electric - some kind of special release
Yes - was it only on a vinyl extremely limited edition?
Fundamental? -...

Pet Shop Boys are happy to announce a special PSB-themed tea set, which will be released on 20th November and is available to pre-order now.

The products are the first to be launched as part of a new Pet Shop Boys since 1984 range to commemorate 40 years since the release of the duo’s debut single...

So, excluding the remakes of old tracks and demos we have the following original or cover versions:

1. Party in the blitz
2.Through you
3. Sense of time
4. If Jesus had a sister
5. It's not a crime
6. I've got plans (involving you)
7. Everybody will dance
8. All the young Dudes
9. Beauty has...

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...

I think I'm in love... this has been on repeat all afternoon. Yes, it's slight, inconsequential, b-side material. But dear God, is it an off-kilter, highly unusual earworm crying out for a much longer remix.

What is said in the background at 2:32, anyone make it out? Big Boy ? Sounds like Chris?

My apologies if this has already been covered as there's so many topics here.

Just wondering what the resident PSB experts thought of James Ford's production of Nonetheless. The boys themselves kept throwing around the word fresh in interviews.

I will say, James Ford's production definitely got...

I think everyone thinks here the strategy of Parlophone has been successful.

What a year! The Dreamwold Tour live on concerts, festivals and on cinemas, song from PSB in two famous movies a new album, an extended version of the new album with demos a new songs, 5 singles (one of them with a double...

I remember the days when people here used to say PSB were not more famous because of the lack of promotion they recieved. I'm not sure if this is true or false these days. I mean, what kind of exposure could they get (tv show, film, advert, etc) to see them on the official charts again?, can they...

Blackpool special, BBC1 starting 6:45pm. Spectacular performance starring the Pet Shop Boys . They must have a single to promote...

Look, it's only one word - how hard can it be? Let's all brainstorm this thread.

I'll start...

Before I start a new topic when there already is one, is there a topic to discuss the next Alternative and Format?

I'm sure someone has already listed b-sides since Together and I'm pretty sure the time is now ripe for the 3rd album of b-sides and extra tracks.

Wow! We sure have been lucky to get such wonderful b-sides during the Nonetheless era. And now on the final Nonetheless double-A side single New London boy / All the young dudes we get this incredible Beauty has laid siege to the city song:

No artist today does better synth pads than our PSB and...
