PSB Compilation for a PSB virgin

[Tom Angel]

Spoke with a gay frien dof mine yesterday who said the only PSB songs he knew were Go West and East End Boys (!). What would you put on a compilation for him??

So far The almighty Mix of New York city boy is on, and Flamboyant.

Great, always interesting to see what people put. 'Heart's' a good choice, even if it's hard to locate the 7" mix. I guess the only place is Discography...

Was that so important to be mentioned that he was gay? Does it suppose to have an impact on the shape of a compilation?

[Tom Angel]

Not sure if it has any bearing on it really, other than that he is. The only time he's heard go west is in gay clubs. Goodness knows how he's managed to miss their entire back catalogue!

I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing isn't a bad idea, I kind of forget about that single for some reason. Its dated a bit perhaps.

[LoveComesQuickly]

Quickest solution is to buy him PopArt I'd say. Only downside is it doesn't have many ballads, which are equally one of the Boy's strengths.

[Debussy]

I'd suggest PopArt as well.

Crikey, a gay man who hasnt followed 'gay' music???? Whatever next.

I like the aforementioned singles plus a few b sides as well.

Paninaro ´95...
