Australian fans set your videos, Minimal is being played tonight on ABC's Rage between 4:30am and 5am. I think however we can safely assume that Minimal is definitely not getting an Australian release, which is extremely disappointing. If it was I'm sure we would know about it by now. Rage always play the new release singles at the beginning of the program, so if it was being released we would see it much earlier. I remember a similar thing with Flamboyant getting played very late because it was not getting released. I hope this is also not an indication that the planned tour of downunder is now shelved. I have not been able to find any news on that front anywhere

Thanks for the heads-up. Was it not for the DVD release, I'd be setting up the VHS as well. Sad about Minimal looking an unlikely release, especially on account of I'm with stupid actually making the charts! In fact, I don't think I've heard much at all about Minimal releases outside the UK.

A further update.....Minimal was also played on Channel 10's Video Hits this morning as part of a special "Best of British" program. Not only that, they also played West End Girls about an hour earlier. I almost choked on my toast when I heard the West End girls intro, couldn't quite believe my ears, it's so rare to hear PSB at all on Oz TV (or radio for that matter). Then for them to play Minimal about an hour later, well I was gobsmacked to say the least. PSB played on Australian TV three times in one weekend, it's all too much really, I don't know if I can cope

Thanks Rusty for the information.
