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 really don't know when we will see the new single or album but after reading all the positive reviews I don't mind waiting. So far there have been no leaks of any tracks yet, I believe the 12" promo was a fake and after the comments I have read on here. Im not going to speculate on release dates...

Just be thankful it's coming soon.
Too be honest it's the most anticipated album of theirs for a long time, the best things come to those who wait!!!
I have a really good feeling about this album.
They could have a bit of a hit on their hands.

Contrary to some reports, Neil is NOT in the new Madonna video.
You can watch it here:
Unfortunately, it is not the PSB mix, and as many of you will notice I'm sure, after listening to nothing but the PSB version for the last 2 weeks, the album mix feels very very low energy - quite a let down...

I find that when they haven't released anything for a while eBay tend to go quiet and you can pick up a few bargains.
When the new album comes out I suspect interest will rise and prices will go up again (well a bit anyway).
Not sure whether this was posted last year.

I think we had this list here already some time ago, I have the feeling I remember the PSBs were No 26.
On BBC3 on the 9th feb at 01.15 there is a show called The Last laugh. This one is about Jonathan Harvey, he talks about Closer To Heaven. Clips fron C2H are shown too.
The topic on smash hits has made me wonder, would neil and chris have been succesfull if Neil hadn't worked for smash hits ? Who would have financed the trip to the states? Would he have known how to go about meeting Bobby O? Would chris have took Neil serious if he didn't have the smash hits...

Actually when they travelled to NY to record with Bobby O, Chris got money from his grandparents. And Neil went to bank. Was this mentioned in About cd ? Can´t remember now.
Come on guys...opinion time is here again! I'd have to say this is the one and only PSB song that I dislike, and to make matters worse it happens to appear on my least favourite album! Personally, I can't understand why PSB seem to really rate Eminem, least of all have a song about some Eminem...

I would say for almost a good year, I was not listening to much Pet Shop Boys material, but in anticipation of the arrival of new music, I have been listening to the catalog non-stop for the last two weeks. It is so beautiful to come back to these guys after a hiatus. Their music is so incredible....

The funny thing with the esprit prices is that even when you halve them they are still a rip off. It does not take much searching around to find things cheaper, and I will never buy from them again that's for sure. And the prices they offer to buy stuff from you is more than laughable aswell.

Good question :). Assume the answer will declare all!
I think it's high time for a PSB box set.
I'm thinking something similar to Erasure's

True, the re-issues may cover most of this territory
but I'd kill for the CD singles with those hard to find
remixes packaged all together in a cool box.

is anyone getting fed up with the lack of a official confirmed release date for Minimal and Fundamental ? it seems bizarre Numb is being listed as second single when we don't even know when first is out. Couple of bits of info such as number of new b-sides, remixers wouldn't go amiss,

The information we've been given, by the record company, is that the album will now come out at the end of May and that the first single is 'Numb' and 'Im With Stupid'.
likely reason for this (if it is true) is that Numb received more favourable feedback from those who have heard the album and...

Second single "Sorry" from the platinum No. 1 mix-style "Confessions on a Dancefloor" should keep fans hung up on Madonna's ability to create instant radio and club classics. She may sing, "I've heard it all before," but "Sorry" is neither a reinvention of her past hits...

This would seem to contradict some of the other recent reports, which have suggested it would only be a DJ promo.

You're welcome, Wayne. :)...
Here in the Castro SF I am used to seing trillions of European "dance" remakes of every song since 1980. I don't have a problem with that- although remaking "Holiday" with a bunch of idiot models strikes me as the height of pointless rape of other peoples' creativity.

Minimal will sound on the radio at the end of February.
Last post
End of February sounds about right for Minimal's radio release as stations usually add songs about 5-6 weeks before their commercial release - and April 3rd has been cited for the latter.
I think it's true. They have more information about it than us, I suppose.
