Thanks for this - I was thinking that the regular extended version needed to be even longer this morning!!

"I’ve known Tom (Tom Stephan) a good few years now and when I asked him if he’d like to do a remix of 'Why?' he said yes straight away. The song is a part of his story. I was so moved when he shared that story with me. The lyric is our shared experience as it is for so many others... and forty years later the lyric still tells the story of LGBTQI+.... the hate, the violence, the discrimination, the imprisonment and state-sanctioned murder of those who dare to be their true selves and it’s happening somewhere right now as I write this.
So to hear Neil Pet Shop Boys, one of our greatest pop lyricists, speaking my words... I was f*** whooping like a banshee around my kitchen when Tom told me Neil would like to contribute and speak the lyrics of 'Why?' and to hear Tom's musical reworking of the track is f*** mind-blowing. It brings it into the here and now and also retains its history with my original vocal. I genuinely felt moved.
You and me together, fighting for our Love"

Love it! Superchumbo's killing it with his remixes lately!!!
Party in the Blitz remix is the best PSB remix in years, and this is an absolute banger as well.
"It is a great honour to work on this iconic song with two legends who were lifelines to me while growing up gay in a small town."
lifeline... or is it loveline haunty????? (what a lovely couple they made)

Absolutely love this!
Would love to hear a mix without Jimmy’s vocals (nothing against JS), just for personal curiosity.

(Finally got my access back, woohoo!)
Really loving this, both edit and extended version.
Would be amazing if they released a 12inch with just these mixes.

It's remarkable how distinctive Neil's voice is when just speaking. They've recording it so well, too.

Well, this is jolly magnanimous of Jimmy - so have rumors of their enmity been greatly exaggerated?So to hear Neil, one of our greatest pop lyricists, speaking my words... I was f****** whooping like a banshee around my kitchen when Tom told me Neil would like to contribute and speak the lyrics of 'Why?' and to hear Tom's musical reworking of the track is f****** mind-blowing.
Both mixes are utterly slaptastic. They both bring out the power in Jimmy's voice and Neil's spoken parts give me chills in all the right places. I like the way the edit cuts out after his "Tell me why". But to be fair, he could read the phone book and it would make me quiver. He really needs to do an ASMR tape or something.

I'd love to hear Brandon, Jimmy and Neil do a workout live in concert on "I Can change", "Smalltown Boy" and "Why" now!

Re: Bronski Beat - Why? (Superchumbo remix ft. Neil Tennant)
So there is an edit of 3:48, and extended of 6:20 and a Superextended of 8:17? Are those three official mixes?
Also the instrumental, altough I don´t count that as a "collaboration"
