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...
There are lots of PSB Vids (Fan vids or otherwise) on Youtube..
Thought there could be a unified thread of all the links :)
Let me start off with this one..
Mini-Pet Shop Boys Go West
Very cute (and the miming is perfect! Even Sylvia-Mason James'!! ) but are they the Future PSB?? :o

Now…what we want, what we really, really want…is MCMLXXXIX bloody well released!!! Stop giving us what we already have and let’s get the full MCMLXXXIX tour remastered and released on DVD and 2x CD like they did for Discovery! If they don’t want to spend money on the production of a physical...
The link closed off (presumably on the September 1st cut off date as advised).
I'm still not entirely sure how they're going to do this logistically speaking.
Also, can we presume the original copies were not actually recalled and are still out there (ie can...

It's here. I dunno why they've added 'Ormesby Saint Margaret' to my London address but nonetheless IT IS HERE and less than six months after the album came out! Impressive.
Just watched the primavera São Paulo concert
During Domino Dancing she stopped playing then few seconds later it looked like she had to be helped off stage
Hope she is ok

She said something like something really embarrassing happened to her last night
Behaviour wasn't commercial at all except So Hard. In fact, it wasn't a good move. If I were them, I wouldn't work with Liza in some good songs to keep them for myself and create a better album. With the same level of production the songs for Liza had and the voice of Neil, PSB had a really good...

Behaviour is perfect as it is.
It was my teenage angst album and songs like Nervously helped a gay teenager growing up in a drab English market town in the early 90s, feel a little bit better about himself.
Songs aren't just about being commercial, they are also about what they mean to the...
Album was finished over summer and crickets since. Any news anywhere? Bueller, Bueller?

Disco 5!
Neil has revealed in an interview lately that Disco 5 will include all the remixes they had done for other artists (Noel Gallagher, Claptone, Wolfgang Tillmans, Paul Weller, Sleaford Mods). The album has been compiled already. It's just a question of logistics when to release it.
In light of recent government advice in relation to the ongoing situation and threat of COVID-19 globally, Pet Shop Boys’ Dreamworld tour can no longer commence as planned in May 2020 and the dates are being rescheduled. The European leg of the tour was...

Who's the female keyboard player and singer on PSB concert? I saw them twice on Primavera Sound Brazil and on today's solo gig, but I didn't get her name. I think I'm in love. What a beautiful smile!!!
Clare Uchima.
Yep, the smile. But also her singing. I'd go so far as to say she's the best...
I’ve taken the liberty of starting a new thread to help us separate chat about the new EP.
I’ve spent a bit of time re-reading the 2016 edition of Literally. There was obviously unfinished business from the Super songwriting sessions. First, there was the mooted “dark techno” album which...

I love hoping for a miracle. The blade remix and video is incredible
I recently stumbled upon a great YT-account where the user does superb extended mixes of amongst others PSB. There are about 50 PSB and PSB-related tracks. The mixes are using original sounds, no own additions of beats and stuff and mostly they can be regarded as re-edits. Many of the remixes are...

Blade Mixes.
I love Blade Mixes. He creates awesome unofficial remixes of PSB tracks.
He's up there with JCRZ. Has been quite active in recent weeks.
Have I discovered, yes most definitely. I'm into bootleg remixes, and with
technology improving (vocal filtering) they're getting better.
Pet Shop Boys announce the theatrical release of Dreamworld: The Greatest Hits Live At The Royal Arena Copenhagen , coming to cinemas worldwide for two nights only on 31 January and 4 February 2024. Tickets go on sale on 6 December.

Saw the Beyonce film in our local cinema in NZ. It an epic next level film/show.
Myself (Graham) and Dog (Chris) have made the brave (or foolish!) move to record a series of Pet Shop Boys fan podcasts.

At Discogs the remixes are treated as a new anno 2023 release (well it's a re-release)
Could thus be added to the rest of the stuff being released recently.
The BPI has awarded the pet shop boys a few updates on their sales awards.
PopArt has been upgraded from gold to platinum status.
Ultimate has been awarded with a silver certification.
A few more could follow. :D

It’s A Sin has been certified Gold in the U.K for sells(downloads) and streaming points of 400,000.This award does not include the original physical sales of the original release which was almost 1/2 million.
I had a listen to Memory of The Future the other day. The extended mix is such a perfect example of a transitional track. It would've fitted perfectly on Electric.
So are there any other transitional tracks like that, where we are in one era but get a track which tells us about the new era/album.
I...

A transitional image was Was It Worth It? with the soft toy models of them that ties into the next release of Can You Forgive Her that also had models of the Boys on the cover.
True, that's an aspect I hadn't thought about. Was It Worth was poppy/happy like Very, not like Behaviour (although one...
In case anyone is interested my japanese version arrived and it does have the lyric booklet and signed photo. I wanted to attach photos but it says the board attachment quota has been reached so i cannot

Apparently the song Rent is featured in the movie?

This movie is strange and brilliant. I highly recommend it. I’d say that the inclusion of Rent is quite a good plot point.
My friend and I laughed a lot in this movie, probably in places where we weren’t supposed to 🤣

33 years ago Pet Shop Boys Being Boring became the first PSB 45 to miss the UK Top 12 since they broke big with West End Girls. In one of our trio of interviews, Neil Tennant told me he & Chris Lowe “looked at each other with abject horror” when the chart position came through. The...

Technically, it was actually the first to miss the UK Top 19. The author forgot Love Comes Quickly.
Which is arguably one of their greatest singles too.

This is a lovely remix of a great song. I know I'll get hanged for this, but I don't really listen to fan mixes - I always hear there are great ones out there, and I don't disbelieve it - and for sure there are some TERRIBLE official remixes - but I'd rather stick with the N&C approved stuff.

Looks like the PSB show will be broadcasted live on the web for free!! :D

Gosh, the Electric tour was so rejuvenating, so edgy. The album as well of course but with the tour as well it really shone a new light on PSB.
The edginess was what made the Electric era so good. New kind of sound but also new kind of lyrics. Entschuldigung and Get it online should've been on the...
Wouldn't it be great if during this period of time if the boys released a collection of updated unreleased songs (Similar to how they re-did New Boy and finally released it) maybe as a bonus EP.

Thanks yall (I'm from Austin Texas, have to say yall )! It is a nice little instrumental ... definitely feels like it could have been reworked with some lyrics and been a fine little pop track.

I haven’t posted on here in so long but as someone diagnosed with ASD, yeah I absolutely see it. Why do you think PSB has such an obsessive collecting community, so bent on analysis, so endlessly fixated? I’m as big of a Smiths and New Order fan as I am with PSB, but never in my life have I seen...
It was the year of the Poll Tax riots, of “No, No, No!”, of Adamski and Sinéad, and Mandela’s release.

On the other hand PSB missed the obvious single... October Symphony would've been a huge hit in large parts of Europe back in 1991.
Darn, Youtube's got a handful or so of some really great versions/covers of Love comes quickly. That song has always been a favourite of mine (and of PSB as well, it seems from interviews). But recently it's grown on me even more. It seems to be a song that can take on a multitude of genres/styles and every time...

It's probably simplest just to put it on Bandcamp or SoundCloud.
If you would rather get it on Spotify, RouteNote is a good free way to do that.

What are the odds of a single release in 2023? Probably pretty low, and they'll go for a January single?

As we know, some letters will be selected to be included in the yearly publication.
Questions will be answered by Neil and Chris.

I just sent in four questions. I asked about pets these days. What else we may expect in 2024 that they can talk about but not announced yet.
Does anyone have an excact number of how many unique tracks are released credited or co-credited to Tennant/Lowe (or Lowe/Tennant), performed by any artist (including PSB themselves, of course)?
