Boy Harsher mix of NLB is a nice retro take.

The backing track of Beauty has laid siege to the city is based on an instrumental they used as bumper music on BBC Takeover Boxing Day three years ago.

All the young dudes is a lot better in this studio version, imho.

Really enjoyed listening to this release on the way home.

Hey you with the glasses! I agree the photos are perfect.

They're even pulling a PSB by adding their own vocals to it

The I. Jordan remix is why I hate remixes in general.

Oh my God! What a pleasant surprise.

Beauty has laid siege to the city is the first song from this era to give me that PSB excitement. my favourite track from this era. I love it!

Nice to have the bonus material and mixes but I’m still not sold on the choice of singles.

I quite like the radio edit of New London Boy, wasn't a fan of the Feel edit but this ones not bad. I think All The Young Dudes may grow on me, not sure about it on first listen but I like the Delinquent version. As for BHLSTTC, probably my favourite B-side of this era so far; love it.

It seems super obvious that Richard X should produce a full album with the Boys, but it would have made a difference after Fugitive, not in 2026, but lets hope for the best !

The Boy Harsher remix of New London Boy is amazing! Love the retro/synth/chillwave vibes.

The best cure for post-election blues - thank you PSB for not only one but two fabulous releases in the same day - how wonderful to wake up to here in America where we really need it!

The Boy Harsher mix has a nice backing track, but I really don't like that they have removed the chorus from the song.
just a bad loser
