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 but...

"21 March 2020

Now
Self-isolating at home! Like you, I’m trying to stay safe… Neil xxx"

That is in fact Clive Swift from Keeping Up Appearances! And where's the camera balanced..?

Actually it'll be 25 tracks released between Feb 2019 and April 2020. Agenda, Hotshot, Laundrette and 4 b sides. Musik is a Frances Barber EP

To speak is a sin was actually written in 1983 and would have presumably been demoed the same year

I'm surprised people aren't a bit more miffed about the reduction of b sides to one per single. It's like the 80s and early 90s again the difference being that albums were more frequent then. However I suppose Agenda and Laundrette make up for it a bit.

They shouldn't have sung about waves against a ramshackle pier...

Boring song.

Boring artwork.

Boring tracklisting.

Stop being boring...

I question the year. I did a bit of research and worked out ages back that the sticker ads were actually done in 1985 just before Neil left the magazine. I suspect this is actually 1985 but I may be wrong. Having looked into this I am almost certain that the Stick it On ads were done for mid March 1...

Whenever I hear "Covid-19" I say it it the style of "Come On Eileen". Now I can't unheard it!

I keep hearing "My Corona" by The Knack.

Quite frankly this thread is just adding to the obsessive panic about this virus and making a serious situation far far worse. There are however far more avoidable deaths occurring either directly or indirectly from things like car accidents, pollution, depression and the f****** Tories.

Gotcha. That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. Sorry wasn't sure if your reply was for me or onzio but there we go. I'm disappointed with the wastage of Happy people. The single package had better make up for it but I doubt it will. We know there'll be the single mix, the two remixes mention...

You think these lyrics are dull?? Amateurish???!?? —— All the pomp and circumstance Can't drag me away from this A simple suburban love affair Where you fight and then you kiss (do you call me a fool) The feeling of epic grandeur At the end of a summers day The sense of so much missing When the wor...

I can't really think of any previous PSB release that didn't feel like single material. Even Winner sounds like a single though it's insipid and lyrically awful. My previous qualms have been that far better potential singles have been waylaid for less good ones. This problem really peaked with Funda...
