Please take extreme care on emails from administration @ petshopboys-forum .com !!!!!!!!!!!
In the last days I recognise some emails about Tickets for PSB@ROH which I THINK could be a money trap. After we have to hold this email open for user requests and alerts via the contact link (at the...
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...

Thank you for the link leesmapman. I was already aware of them and found the last one does not include the first song they played (the Blur song Girls and Boys (PSB Remix)). For some reason it has been omitted from the youtube recording hence why I asked if anyone has their own recording.
I just saw on Lorraines website that they have been confirmed as support act for at least the Tower gigs.
That´s great news isn´t it? I just love "I Feel it" and "Italian girlfriend". Generally I don´t like the concept of support acts at all, but for Lorraine I´d be prepared to make an exception....

Transatlantic flight got pulled from commercial release!
I don't think that's true. CDs, being digital, are 'all or nothing' - either the sound is perfect or it's unplayable. There's no inbetween.
Well, that's not entirely true. Scratches on a cd can cause audible glitches in the sound. Not as noticible as clicks and pops on vinyl but they are there....
My usual source hasn't been able to get the Minimal DVD. Does anyone know any reliable (and inexpensive) online shops?

In the instrumental part you can hear with a bit fantasy the sound of a man throwing up. Which is quite appropriate with the lyrics. The violins are crying. Beautiful production, this song.

Ah, Timmy Mallet, what an odd little man. He must have been well into his thirties in 1986.
Bet you watched him every day in the school holidays. What was that program after it? Something to do with school kids and projects.
Is it Throw a good song?
Is it worth buying the CD album of DJ Fresh?
Is it better than WowieZowie (by Superchumbo)?
Thanks
Andrea

Oh for god's sake, every single thing Superchumbo ever did was crap. Not to mention ruining some superb tracks. So, yes, even an ape scratching away would be more melodious than what that twerp could ever dream of achieving. And that's being objective btw.
Sorry if this has been discussed in an earlier thread.

Having received the UK version of CD2 I can say that the Belgian version of Minimal CD2 does not contain the U-Myx version. And the German version has it... Why oh why should we be singled out like that? What has Belgium ever done to deserve this?
There seems to be a lot of speculation that the 3rd single from Fundamental will be Numb, and there has also been comment that Pet Shop Boys seem to do well with cover versions. On top of all of this, there is a scheduled Concert album due for release about the same time as the 3rd single......

I think we demand too much regarding b-sides. We have been sppilt over the years. There have been a few shoddy ones. Thers been some average ones but no artist anywhere gets close to the quality we generally get. Alternative proved the class they had and the Bilingual era was my personal favourite....
just to inform you that the Czech "Love Planet" festival (with PSB performance on August 11) takes place in Prague (not in Tabor as earlier announced).
Today is the last day when the tickets are cheaper - approx. 24 Euro for the whole festival (Aug 11-12); they will cost approx. 31 Euro...

I've created a special Love Planet page for foreign fans, with access info, maps and links:
Looks like Minimal will fall out of the top 40 this week.

Does that station playlists lets say (no-guitars) Madonna?
I said "more guitar based" - not "totally guitar based" - and yes they do play Madonna, because she is a global mega star in a way PSB never will be. End of story.

I was just wondering... So the listeners want more guitars, but on...
Hey i'm new to this but guys get a grip, all this obsession about playlists, charts, airplay charts, predictions, just get over yoursleves. The PSB dont need a singles chart place to show there popularity, all of these fourms demonstrate passion for the guys and it is still around all over the...
Okay, i'll admit it! I bought the promo mixes of In Private in HMV on Friday. A thirty second soundclip on Juno or somewhere just dosen't give any indication of how bad these mixes are, particualry the club mix with it's vocoder effects and downright out of tuneness. Anyone else got any opinions of...

thank god.... It's amazing the Flamboyant turned out as well as it did.
it may seem unbelievable, but even after seven years, I managed to obtain scans of 14 "new" PSB photographs that were taken by fans in Prague in November 1999.
You can find them on my site in the "pictures" category (as well as many other photos of PSB in Prague; pictures from Prague...

With thanks to the people mentioned above, especially Toni, I was able to update the section with 5 more pages with photographs of PSB in Prague 1999, this time right from the concert.

You'll find Pop Art from Pet Shop Boys moving to October 3 from its originally slated date of September 26.
In the past this website has been pretty reliable.

Is it even possible nowadays to check in with a false name? Most of the time you need to show an ID (like a passport) when you want to check in...
Here you only have to fill in a card but they dont ask for ids. But you have to sign it.

This is one of the worst new entry ever for the boys in germany ! very bad !

Due the confusion of german releases and the copy protection, i decided to buy them trough www.petshopboys.biz this time. So my shopping behaviour belongs to the UK charts this time, not counting for germany... :?
I've read somewhere that the stagedesign from the upcomming Fundamental worldtour will be almost the same as this one during the summerconcerts... isn't that a bit very CHEAP???
Bring back the Zaha Hadid-look!

IMO, if they have two seperate tours, Summer Tour and Fundamental Tour, then they should be different. It all costs money and time though doesn't it?!?
Could you please change it for an e-mail address that doesn't bounce? Please do this at the end of your session here, as until I have verified the new e-mail address you will not be able to post.
I'll get onto verifying your new e-mail address as soon as possible.
I haven't filcked through this entire thread but I'm suprised no-one has even *mentioned* the possibility of the live-recording of Numb actually being the single-version!
Perhaps they can put the album version/edit on the single as the B-side/Double A side?
I think it would be great, you could...
What do you folks generally think of the sound quality of remastered cd reissues?
I ask you because I tend do be disappointed by them. They mostly do not sound as good as the original cd releases! :evil:
Have you compared the reissued Pet Shop Boys cd's to the old ones? I only have Bilingual in...
Last post
Overall I think the remasters have more bass on the earlier albums. The bonus discs and the nice booklets really are a great part of the remasters. Really they are some of the best remastered products to come out
Very true. The booklet is the#1 of its kind, its worth the price just for that. The...
the reason they would release them as a double A side is so they can promote it as Luna Park where they feel SAGS would not be taken well. SAGS should be accepted very well in clubs. these to songs just go together well.
And my comment that this release would make up for numb is because Numb and...
Parlophone have given September 25th as the provisional release date for "Concert", the double-CD of the complete Mermaid Theatre concert with the BBC Concert Orchestra, featuring guests Frances Barber, Rufus Wainwright and Robbie Williams.
I was listening to this song last night and wondering why it was never released as an actual single - does anybody know? I presume that this 7" mix was configured at the time of the soundtrack release with the intent of this being a single, and it was apparently cancelled? Has Neil commented on why...

Oh, you're right. I was outwitted by the website.
Then I guess it is no time for tears after all.
Has anyone one seen this? - About bloody time too!
It was played last night on Channel 4, quite nice actually, starts with 'Numb' goes into 'I'm with stupid' then into 'Minimal' then finishes off with 'Numb'. It's quite long also, maybe this will boost a few more album sales...?

It was in Will & Grace's ad-break last night on Living. Love the beginning with the big orchestral intro from Numb. Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :D
I don't know - PSB have had another top 20 hit and it seems none of us were happy. Problems with distrubtion? Rubbish track listings? Awful Remixes? Not enough promotion? and on and on. :roll:
Personally I have all versions of the new minimal and I'm with stupid and I dont even own a record player for the 7"...
Last post
At the end of the day, I'm just very, very happy that they're still around and still releasing quality songs.
I think this forum is fairly balanced between gushing praise and moaning.
It would be a very dull place if it was just full of praise.
Weren't there photos of people who had coppied the actually cover? I heard a rumor that The Other Two had done one.

That is BRILLIANT.
I had the unfortunate pleasure of living down the road from Mr Sharp!!
Pat Sharp is great. I was addicted to his Ronnie The Runner show on Sky many, many years ago. He gave PSB so much support in the early days, he converted me from 'mmm... yeah... they're quite good' to...

according to Literally and Thames and Hudsons website it is due out in October, but acording to Wh Smiths, Amazon, Play, Tesco websites it is due out on 31st August. I would have thought we are too near to that date for it to be a dummy one so anyone know the correct date ?

Anyone else purchase CD 1 of Yesterday When I Was Mad, only to find four tracks of En Vogue (not really sure who it is) and no PSB?

I would also recommend the band Joy Electric, PSB inspired though more experimental and raw. Ronnie Martin, who is Joy Electric, is actually a big fan of the PSBs.

I will also add that Minimal sounds a lot like Joy Electric--very similar synth lines.

Next closest matches were Terence Stamp, Hugh Heffner and Uri Gellar!
What details you need of the posters? The size is exactly the same as for the singles from Very. The poster is the sleeve of the CD2. Next time I see one I will write down the text if you want me to do it. I took a picture with the mobile phone but it is not a very good one. Any of the petheads...
So we know there will be the third single released in late September. They would release Numb in the autumn (fits well with the season). Also, they will be about to start their US tour then, and that song is kind of American according to what some here say - perhaps a US release, too? Or maybe not...

A sequel to Sodom!? *faints* ;) And guess we'd have to agree to disagree here... tracks such as these are not really my cuppa :(
