Smash - The Singles 1985 - 2020

[Disco.]

Never had a problem ordering from the official site. Hope that it works out for you

[Xakrij]

I turned off pop up blockers, ad blockers, and tracking blockers for the OS site.
Also, I had to turn my phone to landscape to see the 'Continue' box at the bottom.
I was logged in my OS account before ordering.
I have used both Firefox and Chrome.
I always use PayPal.
Give it a go

[negative_0ne]

from 'my' collectors point of view,
i was going through discogs looking at what i had, and what i still needed to find.
https://www.discogs.com/artist/7552-Pet-Shop-Boys

now, i'm going by just the listings, the order is NOT chronologically correct.

also, there are promo's in there, some i skipped, because i didn't want or need them,
or they were impossible to find.

also, i separated them further down into 7 inch (+10inch), 12 inch, cd singles, and leftover formats like cassette.

so for the main list

[Old School]

This is a nice collection for people who like PSB and for the serious collector.

[Nina]

Has anyone totted up the running times for CDs 2 and 3?

[TwizzleUK]

Has anyone totted up the running times for CDs 2 and 3?

• CD1: 76m 51s
• CD2: 73m 27s
• CD3: 68m 29s

See viewtopic.php?p=619520#p619520

Thanks. Seems really odd they want to use the butcher boy US edit of New York city boy that chops out the most interesting part of the song and wasn't the version used in the UK or on the video

The boys have been quite revisionist with the two singles that were produced by David Morales from their album Nightlife:
- they made a vocal part of "I Don't Know What You Want But I Can't Give It Any More" disappear, right after second chorus. And the Morales remixes that used that part were never released, only on an obscure test pressing (even if those are better than most of the remixes for that song).
- they made the part right after second chorus (once again) in NYC Boy disappear in the US Edit which is now considered as the official single version by the Boys.

I don't know what went wrong with their collaboration with David Morales. There must have been trouble in paradise between them.

[young.offender]

To me the Video Version of New York City Boy is the only real Single Version.
A totally Shame, that they didn‘t use it on Smash and also didn‘t play it live

[telys]

So basically they could have put Seriously on disc1 and pushed Was it worth it? to disc2, used a longer 7" of NyC and pushed last track of disc2 to disc3 and added Lliving in the past and another track.

Not sure why they'd have added Living In The Past - a bonus track on a digital EP. Much better to include the single version of Burning The Heather.

Living In The Past being a "new track" which is legio on GH-collections.

[Firthy2002]

It's worth bearing in mind that this release is literally to fulfil a contractual obligation so it won't have been given quite as much attention to detail as Ultimate or PopArt except for expanding the original request from a Discography re-issue to a full singles compilation.

With an EP of new music coming out shortly and the new album likely dropping next year, I'm not fussed about the lack of a new promotional single. Considering their touring obligations, they wouldn't have had time to record one anyway.

I'll be buying the 3CD/2BD set but that's as much as I'm willing to invest in this project.

Like some other posters, I am also wanting the Michael Jackson style complete singles box set however I doubt we will get it any time soon.

[Disco.]

Contractual obligation, where do you have that from ??

[Flaffer]

There’s a seven cd box set re-issue of Danni Minogues 2003 Neon Nights coming out, only £35 as well. Strange really that PSB, DM and Erasure have never done big (4 or over) multi disc releases for individual albums. They certainly have enough remixes, extra tracks to fill them out
