mine did yday ! within 10 days of becoming a member

I just loved it, its amazing how they stuck to the 'less is more' design all these years, The plain brown cover concept is just too cool

I'm hoping the Alternative 2 comes out at some point.

^^ Glad to hear that Shopper!!

And the cover could've been made more sturdier.. but i liked the Nightlife fonted PSB

[psb-freak]

It´s been the same cover over the years. But it´s rather cool.

Each cover is different.

That seems to be the general idea of all Pet Shop Boys output. The look, although important, has always been quite minimilist I think.

[Shopper]

agreed. lets hope we get a good xmas goodie for 2008 !!!

yes vince, the cover could be studier and I wish the fundamental era poster we got, had one with them holding a Pet Shop Boys neon sign instead (not sure if something like that exists ? maybe i should check the pictures subforum)

I imagined he would spend Christmas with his family and therefore the "we"

Well, yes, but it struck me that Neil uses 'I' in the first ffew sentences, whereas Chris starts with 'we'. Could mean nothing, but I'm always intrigued when it concerns Chris's private/love life because he never really gives us any information. Which is up to him of course. But it makes me all the more curious.

Yes, I'm really curious too. I wish he told us even something... without mentioning any names, but if he would give a clue that he might have a boyfriend.

After all this time, we are never going to get any Clues from Chris but the mystery is rather fascinating

[dgraysn]

Wow....

- Chris' proposal for a tour, obscure bsides & album tracks only with a full orchestra and band.....at The Royal Albert Hall.....wow, checkout his tracklisting, he even wants to play 'Jack The Lad'....now this i will pay huge money to see

It's the most stupid thing I've heard in many years. I suppose they'll record it and then they'll sell the dvd and the cd. It's the kind of things old bands do in their careers when they don't have anything better and new for their fans.

.

this is one of the MOST stupid posts I've ever read on this board (and thats saying a lot)

Chris's idea is great as far as I'm concerned. I've seen West End girls and It's a sin, etc live multiple times, whats wrong with something new? The obscurities show, done as a huge production like Performance, but with an orchestra would be amazing, I'd fly to London for that and buy the cd/dvd. as for a new album..there will be one, they are writing it, chill out. all these other projects are icing. if you dont want them, dont buy them.

These quotes bought a tear to my eye:

"a concert which finished with a performance of “Being boring” in Dainton’s honour, a specially created montage of film clips and photos of Dainton being projected on the screen behind them as they played"

''Chris read a passage from The Bible, Revelation 21:1-7, coincidentally the same piece Neil once read at the funeral of a friend and which is paraphrased in the song “Your funny uncle”. Chris had thought that he was reading The Lord Is My Shepherd and it was only when Neil looked at the order of service in the car beforehand that he alerted Chris that he was actually reading this other passage, which Chris quickly read through a few times. “I didn’t want to make any mistakes and let Dainton down in any way,”

Yes, the 'article' was rather moving. I liked the parts with his 'slobbery kisses'
and Chris hoping Arsenal won't score as he (Chris) would be thrown into the
air ...
