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.
What would be different if PSB have #1 single any time now?
I mean, of course maybe more people would know them, maybe we would have more articles about them, more airplay etc., but (as long as even current scenario still generates profit for parties involved):
1) Would their future songs be any...

I am just wondering since there is all this talk about low downloads and Minimal placing low in the charts I am curious about something ... I purchased "Minimal" (Radio Edit) to help the charts this week and when I looked at the Title of the artist instead of "Pet Shop Boys" it said artist = Chris...

What is the problem with PSB and itunes?
How come Minimal isn't even in the Top 100 there? All those mixes and versions available and not a sniff. They even have a special featurette on the Home page...

I recall that in the old days, PSB would only release an album after the second single had come out - so Actually came out once It's A Sin and What have I done to deserve this? had been huge hits. Even in the nineties, Very was only released after Can You Forgive Her and Go West had achieved high chart positions. That...

Excellent knowledgable responses Eldritch. Keep it up against the odd ignorant fanatical loons on here.
Basically what Eldritch is saying is that although pre-album 2 singles might work,a record company would much prefer the cheaper option of 1 (big) single + promo + hype(the last two being much...
I paid for my copy £1.99 at the Oxford St. HMV store. They had lots of copies of the 7", CD1 (no CD2/DVD left) as well as a handful of copies of the 7" of I'm with stupid.
Oh, right! I thought £2.99 was a bit dear but that's what it is on the website :?
Could a factor in Minimal's disappointing (but not entirely bad) chart position be that the PSB hardcore fanbase isn't as big as we think it is, and the casual fan who potentially consumes PSB material based on buzz, press, etc., is bigger than we might think? It probably was, for example, the...

I think so too. The DVD sales contributed nearly 1/3rd of the week 1 Minimal sales... and who other than a hard-core fan wants a stupid format like a DVD single? Seriously.
This would suggest hard-core fans buying all 3 formats, and no one else is buying anything at all. Or maybe the fairweather...
Yes, I do. If I am right, it's right near The Astoria, the club they played during the Release Tour. I remember Neil and Chris walking to this other club 'Sin', because that's were the afterparty was.
Right. Tottenham Court Road underground station. I was there today and took a picture like that...
First post so apologies if this is not how you do things.
I'm in Barcelona on 5 September and noticed the Pet Shop Boys were playing the Espacio Movistar but there are no ticket details on the PSB website. Does anyone know how to get tickets?
I googled the gig and found an article in El...
Last post
I'm going to Barcelona for that gig and would also like to know whether it's free (seems to be) or when and where i can purchase the tickets for the show.
Also, anyone knows the likeliest hotel PSB can be staying at?
I cant believe that PSB didnt even get a "clip" shown during the last TOTP - they showed Ricky Martin, All Saints, even the Crazy f*cking Frog but could they show the most sucessful pop duo ever.....
er no !!!!
Last post
The more fluffy the last TOTP became, the more I actually felt rather sad at its demise. The end clip of Savile turning out the lights was so mock-poignant, it was actually very poignant indeed. I did laugh, though, when Savile reflected on a Stones clip and said 'only the BBC could have lost that...
11 years ago Paninaro '95 was released as a single; on 31th July 1995
Let's hear this brilliant song today once more! :D :boo:
What a catchy bass line!

I think Paninaro 95 was a mistake in terms of sound.
are you a musician? please explain
I compose/produce music like many people do. But this has nothing to do with it. I just don't like the sound of the drums (no passion in experimenting with drum sounds - instead it tries to sound like any...
Anybody going to be at the Washington, DC show? Any news when tickets will go on sale?
The 1 previous time I've been able to see PSB live was at Nation in D.C. (which no longer exists, by the way - its part of the area being wiped out to make room for the new Washington Nationals baseball...
Are the DVD tracks for Minimal (excluding the mixes) available on CD in any market? Or do we have to transfer them from DVD ourselves?
The PSB have lost their minds with the Fundamental singles. Not a good sign when their release strategy is overtly hostile to the fanbase (most mixes only...

The chart regulations can be found here:
Maxi CDs can be a maximum of 20 minutes if a 2 track CD is also released. A big fat boo to the big bad BPI!
We're going to have to admit a slight bias here: any release off the 'Fundamental' album that isn't 'Integral' gets a star taken off automatically, just because we're very keen for that song to get the acknowledgement its very awesomeness deserves.
That aside, this...

I think Pyschological is one of the best on the album aswhen people here the lyrics they always start some political conversation which is just stupid after all this time they are doingthings like that in there lyrics....but i also think Sodom and Gomorrah would be a better choice for a single...
Under Product / Exclusive Tracks, there's "No time for tears (orchestral mix) - 25/072006" listed. But, unlike with the other track there, you can't listen to this one...?

We don't want to ruin other peoples' work - they need to survive too.
This discovery can potentially spawn some exciting new mixes and not just using U-MYX.
I think that if U-MYX are reading this they want to build two versions of their exes. One with...
I know it isn't doing terribly well in the UK but I always imagine the European market to be much more open to the PSB's than the UK. Anyone have any figures? Thanks - it'd make me feel much better if I thought they were getting the appreciation they deserve somewhere :cry:
BTW, Hi - I'm new :D

sometimes I think their biggest expenditure is their use of orchestra's.
not sure how expensive they are but I am sure that cuts into profits.
although I must add I hope they never stop using them.
as soon as i heard the new pet shop was offering back issues i immediately ordered a copy of Literally#24. i know i have a copy somewhere but decided to order an extra one because its the issue that included coverage of Closer to Heaven.

well, no one liked it when I said Minimal would sink (it hasn't, yet, so we shouldn't give up just yet). I didn't wanna be pissy when I said that, it was just an instinct I had. I don't hate Minimal, I quite like it, especially some of the remixes. it figures in my last.fm charts quite often. IMO,...
where do your top songs from that album rate for you when looking over the PSB's entire career? Is there anything from "Fundamental" - or the b-sides - that you would put in your PSB Top 10 favorites?
For me, "Minimal" may be up there... I have played the hell out of that song. There was one day...

Integral and Minimal would both be in my Top 10 PSB songs of all time.
From this interview, the best news for Australian fans is that it seems Potemkin is still slated to be performed at the Sydney Opera House, which of course means the tour is still very much on the cards.
We all know how wonderful the PSB music is. Have you ever got someone else interested in their music to such an extend that they went out and bougth some of their albums? I know I got my cousin interested in them.
Pet Shop Boys Concert with the BBC concert orchester will be released on Cd.
Parlophone will release the complete concert recorded in May on Double Cd.
More money to find :wink: .
So. Attended the show on Sunday. :) Very nice show, great venue and accoustic in the first rows because of a huge gap (6 meters?) I standed on 2nd row, centered. Local newspaper stated about 5,000 souls there and it was free!. Damn it! Next Saturday Potemkin in Spain also for free... It's so easy...

For me the highlight from the concert was Sodom and gomorrah.The song, Neil's clothes, the dancers, the guy projected on that great stage, the public response. All was perfect! Huge!
I totally agree with you. Sodom and gomorrah was simply FANTASTIC :!:
Sorry to be pedantic, but goats' cheese isn't dairy. Dairy products contain cows' milk, to which many people are allergic - Neil included??
Nonsense. A dairy product is a product that contains milk from a mammal, whether it is a cow, goat, sheep etc. Check out Brittanica, Wikipedia etc for a...
In Edinburgh today buying all versions and at the same time 2 blokes picked up 10 copies of each version..
No Minimal buying in that store..
Last post
You can buy all the formats in the same shop and they count as multiple units, don't worry. The chart regulators only deduct units if you buy a suspicious amount of the same format all at once. So I don't think this 'bulk buying' will help PSB chartwise.
I've had a quick look and couldn't find this topic already discussed ... apologies if it has been.
I've downloaded the "Minimal" remixes not on the CD/DVD from 7digital and Windows Media Player tells me I need a flippin' licence to transfer them onto CD! Arrgh! Is there any way round this? Cheers...

I love the shimmery synth bit that begins after Neil sings 'Draw a line, more is less is Minimal' at the start of the second verse and carries on after 'Decide something less decisional' - don't know the technical term for it but it just sounds kind of...shimmery!
