What has been released on 'defunct' formats?

[Old Soak]

Would be interested to know what is out there given the range of different releases in different markets in supposedly defunct formats, for instance:

Cassette Single - I can remember Yesterday When I Was Mad
CDV - Two disc Videography

Anything else? And what about DAT for instance? I'm assuming vinyl doesn't count unless it's something highly unusual in a non 7", 10" or 12" version.

I don't think there ever was any commercial DATs released, but I'm quite sure PSB has released both Minidiscs and DCCs. And VHS of course, possible also Beta.

There was a bonus (3 track) mini-disc with the Japanese edition of Behaviour. It was on this mini-disc that the infamous 9 minute version of "This Must be the Place..." was issued.

You mean a 3" CD, totally different to the Minidiscs I meant.

There's no such thing as the 9 min mix. Just ask Neil.

Cassingles were released up through the Nightlife era. SouthEast Asia still makes cassettes of the albums.

My first ever Pet Shop Boys thing ever was a the Please cassette a work colleague bought me for my 26th birthday. When was their last album on tape?

I have the original artwork for the Actually DCC. Was it ever released on that format? I've also got Television on a Japanese format but don't know what it's called! It's like a massive floppy disc

Oh Yes was definitely released on Thai labels or similar in and around 2009.

I own that, still sealed. I remember a Philips brochure from the early 90s where all coming-up DCC releases were listed. Actually, Introspective and Behaviour were scheduled for release, but they never hit the market. I don't know why. I also don't know how many of these exist. But after I got hold of my copy, I've never seen it mentioned anywhere.
