Thank you, Dipso.
Oh, and by the way, OS says that single may be delayed for a week.

Is it really only 99 pence for the CD?

Yup, whilst the 7" will set you back £3.99!

I'm kinda liking the song. it seems to be from the PSB's range of moody backing track with those sort of simple drums with a very high double tracked vocal. very smooth....

be nice if a version with neil singing surfaces someday.

There is a piece about Sam Taylor Wood and her favourite records in today's Guardian. Her psb fave is It's A Sin:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2008/oct/10/popandrock

The Pet Shop Boys: It's a Sin

I met them first at a Gilbert & George exhibition in the late 1980s. They had a party and I was with a friend of mine who's gay, and he fancied Neil (Tennant), so I drunkenly went up to Neil and told him. And then I think I fell over and was sick. He doesn't remember that, of course - I was just some drunk, irritating girl. I met Neil again when I had an exhibition in 1995 and he asked if I'd be interested in working with them on a show. We did the Somewhere shows at the Savoy Theatre in 1997, which was such a challenge and such good fun. I literally worked on it until I gave birth to my eldest daughter, Angelica, and two weeks after I gave birth I had to finish the bloody thing, so I was reeling. I like It's a Sin. That's a good one to get you going. We did the new song in half an hour. I'm a shameless show-off and that was too good an opportunity to miss. Just try to get me off the karaoke machine - I'm a nightmare. I'm not great, but who cares? It's boring when people are really good.

Half an hour? It took that long?

Thanks for the link Dipso. Interesting read. I'm sure Pete Gleadall spent more on the track than the 30 minutes it took to record the vocal.

If you go to

http://www.recordstore.co.uk/
you will be able to pre-order it. Just search for "Pet Shop Boys" and it will pop up first

New little interview with Sam in "The Observer":
http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2008/oc ... quote]It's not hard to find a pop star keen on dabbling in art, but the opposite seldom holds true. This hasn't discouraged Sam-Taylor Wood, who recently directed a short film, shown at Cannes, involving the Buzzcocks. She has also worked with the Pet Shop Boys and, with their help, the celebrated artist will shortly release her own debut single.

OMM So ... how come?

STW Well, Neil and Chris - the Pet Shop Boys - have their recording studio underneath my office, and one day they just suggested we make a record together. My bit only took half an hour. I'm sure they were at it a bit longer. It's just one of those things you do!

OMM So it's a cover of 'I'm in Love with a German Film Star' by the Passions, an old hit in the Eighties.

STW Yes. I was speaking to a German guy recently who didn't realise this. He kept asking 'So ... which film star is it that you are in love with? Come on, you can tell me.'

OMM But if you were

STW Marlene Dietrich? No, you can't suggest David Hasselhoff. I know he's big there, but he's not German.[/quote]

Only half an hour... So what shall we expect?
