In Japan, next June, 11 PSB albums will be reissued for the special Forever Young 2025 series.
From Please to Elysium, with special limited editions including the megajackets , i.e. the 24x24 cm cardboard reproduction of the covers.

Oh that's cute, the disc does actually live inside it? That's a bit better then. Not for me I don't think but I can see the appeal if you're not into vinyl and want the bigger covers.

OK, that's starting to make more sense. Essentially a CD in vinyl packaging?!

Agree, not for me either, but a...

Just wondering really. With all the various fonts we've had over the releases, doe anybody have a favourite?

Singlewise for me is Suburbia, black, bold and sharp, almost like a tabloid headline.

Albumwise, Behavoiur. Yes, all because of the full-stop!

Always liked the DJ Culture typeset (I don't know if its the same used for other things)

Clearly a conscious decision was made to make it in italics, with the j lower case and remove the space between it and Culture which totally works.

Interestingly for the mix , no italics on Dj Cultu , but...

As recently covered by The KLF. Maybe Neil could add his vocals and give it a full release?

This is a KLF parody I think!

I don't know what happened here.
This company had already re-released some Pet shop boys albums on vinyl. Like Please, Behaviour and Nonetheless, and even a live selection of Pandemonium tour. Some were hits (Behaviour, Nonetheless) and some misses (Please, Live at Roskilde)
But every time they...

I think we can agree the songs on Agenda just objectively didn't sound good.
What Are We Going To Do About The Rich and Give Stupidity a Chance were stinker songs.

The ABBA ep was the end of their mainstream success.

They had two more Number One albums after the ABBA EP (yes I know one of them was a Hits collection).
Always did ok in the US. It reached number 20 there.
Also surprisingly, one of their 1997 down the dumper singles, was their fourth biggest...

An expanded edition of Nonetheless is clear and the fifth single too but we don't know anything about it. The release for the expanded edition is in November but is there something waiting for December?, a single?, an EP?. Maybe the answer is no . But bear in mind they have been written many songs...

Very happy to hear this. It must be a relief.

According to bluray.com, the Dreamworld Live bluray will have a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and a LPCM stereo soundtrack. So no Dolby Atmos for those hoping for it.

I don’t think the Mini is Chris’s actual new car, he seems to get loaned cars arranged by Jason Barlow, the editor-at-large of Top Gear Magazine when he goes to Blackpool - the deal appears to be that he does a social media post. He’s done it before with a Jaguar F-Type and an electric Audi....

I see Periodic Table of Synthpop is (cheekily) offering up Nonetheless Instrumentals for download - official versions reserved for record company use, rather than AI recreations.

Greetings,

A very convincing fake if it is.

Definitely fake, but with a bit of effort gone into it, giving it a certain appeal.
