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...
Hey there! I've launched a new poll for the week ahead, in which I'm asking you to rank all three albums of the Pet Shop Boys' Stuart Price trilogy : Electric , Super , and Hotspot . In other words, please choose the one that you think is the best, the one in the middle, and the one that is...

1. Electric. One of my favourite psb albums
2. Hotspot. A grower, some beautiful moments. Great album.
3. Super. Fun album, but not as good as the other two
As I type this OMD's 1991 hit Pandora's Box (It's a Long, Long Way) is playing on the radio. Has anyone else noticed how similar the instrumentation of Was It Worth It? is to this song? They really remind me of each other. The OMD song came out first.
Last post
It’s one of my favourite OMD songs btw
Same here! It is one of my all-time OMD favorites. Melody is excellent and the song in general is beautiful and melancholic. And it’s true, that talking middle eight always reminded me of Domino Dancing. :)
I think it's going to be a reasonable debate about that.

Lots of events sporting and musical have been cancelled/postponed that were due to start later in the year after the tour starts..why have we not heard anything yet?!
This is weird now. They should have at least said an announcement will be soon.
I wouldn't normally suggest this kind of thing but wouldn't it be great if the Pets released a new version of It's alright? Having seen Chris's video, I reckon a lot of that would sound great in a new arrangement. Maybe they could just release it digitally. OK, it's a bit of a cash-in on tragedy...

Remember, the elaborate music video for Heart was filmed for It Couldn't Happen Here but it didn't fit in. So compare the music video for Always On My Mind to the section in the movie, then you can imagine what the section for Heart would be. Presumably complete with dialogue. Let's not forget,...

Quarantine is giving people more time they can handle. Perhaps they should release Time on my hands as a single.
Reading through all the Catalogue booklets, Neil and Chris reference 207 different songs by other artists. I've compiled them into a single Spotify playlist which you should hopefully be able to find here:

Terrific thanks Dog, just in time for a boring weekend at home :)

I think Only the dark would be a fitting release after I dont wanna if they did another. it would take on a deeper meaning now with the beautiful lyrics especially on the chorus.
Did any of the older PSB CD releases have graphics on the CD?
As in were they CD + Graphics compatable?
Players like the CD-i and others could play these embeded low resolution graphics along with the audio as it was playing.
This was a thing in the late 80's and early 90's.
Also before you ask,...

Flipping the question round I highly recommend a listen to Miracle Cure (Genussmittel Mix) on the Mark Reeder / Blank & Jones album Reordered. Bernard is on vocals. The track sounds like a pumping remix of Rent.

Hoping for a Miracle is the track from Hotspot that has grown on me most since release. I think my initial sangfroid towards it was learning that it was yet another track about Blair but the gorgeous classical melody and PSB melancholia have won me over.
Why is Neil fascinated by him though? He's...

Some people are fascinated by serial killers, if that True Crime TV channel was anything to go by. Some are just interested in the repellant.
The final results are in for my poll of the past week, in which I asked my site visitors to rate three recent Pet Shop Boys music videos -- On Social Media, Dreamland, and Monkey Business -- on a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being one of their worst videos, 3 being an average PSB video, and 5 being one of...
Turned up Friday (from Amazon) but still in the wrapping. Unfortunately I've had the flu and I just can't shake it so have no appetite for music (or food). Probably going to have to go into the office on Tuesday so will rip it onto MP3 tomorrow so I can play it in the car (if I feel up to it).

Only The Dark
My least favourite song on the Instrumental CD, I think this sounds like a really bad late 80s backing track, akin to instrumental music for a cheap straight-to-video film from 1988 (and I know what I mean - I was a teenager then, and saw lots of that kind of thing). The bridge sounds...

Last post
I think it's a bit unfair to put these three videos on the same poll. I gave all three a 5. But I was comparing the first two to other PSB lyric videos and I was comparing the third one to traditional PSB music videos.
I love this stuff that Neil texts about. It's a neat inisght.

Isn't Sooner or Later most probably Love comes quickly ?
That didn’t occur to me, you’re probably right.
Sooner or later is Later tonight mistitled by Bobby 'O on the demo tape. Love comes quickly indeed have that line in it, but was written a year later, if I remember correctly.
I assume this song doesn’t have many chances to become next single, but I hope at least we get a remix in some future release or project. And I know I am not the only one who feels this way.

No coincidence this track follows the whimsical Dreamland, imo. Quite the contrast!

A reissue of Disco has been discussed on the forum before. I don't believe the FL-sets have made a Disco reissue obsolete.

i can't remember, but were the votes 0-10, or 1-10,
because the results were 0-10.

Won the Try it (I’m in love with a married man) CD from Almighty
When I open the booklet on my old CD-version of Disco or look at the album back cover it says the Love comes quickly track is 6:52 long. But it is actually almot 7:30 long. Why? Is it just a typo? Was there originally another mix planned for inclusion on the album? and if so, which one?

The shorter mix of Love comes quickly would've made more sense regarding the times of the LP-sides, side two is far longer than side one as it is now.
