PSB DJ Culture Radio 1 - August 92

[g_m]

Does anyone have track listings for Absolutely Pet Shop Boys, their one-off Radio 1 show in May 1994, or for when Chris sat in at short notice for Pete Tong? I’d love to hear a recording of the latter.

I may have found the Comic Relief show they done on Radio 1 in 1994 though not in great condition

I've got Absolutely PSB on tape somewhere.. Just need a tape machine to play it!

I remember a couple of absolute bangers from it:

Kristine W - Feel What you Want
Inner City - Share My Life (Parks & Wilson Mix)

[Leonidas]

I can’t remember which show it was but they introduced Biology by the Danish equivalent of PSB, Gangway.

I’ve uncovered a cache of old cassettes in my loft and have found a few things which may or may not have found their way online over the years. I’ll list below - I’m keen to know if there’s anything here which isn’t already readily available. If there is anything, I’ll look into getting them transferred and uploaded. This may be easier said than done as I’m not sure I even have a cassette player these days.

* 12/8/91-16/8/91 Radio 1: Pet Shop Boys sitting in for Simon Bates (5x2 hr shows) Pretty sure these are readily available
* 27/7/92-31/7/92 Radio 1: Pet Shop Boys sitting in for Simon Bates (5x2 hr shows) Pretty sure these are readily available
* 17/9/93 Radio 1: Pet Shop Boys sitting in for Simon Bates as part of “Pet Shop Boys Day” (1x2 hr show)
* 27/5/94 Radio 1: “Absolutely Pet Shop Boys” one-off Comic Relief tie-in (1x3 hr show)
* 24/12/95 Radio 1: “Merry Pet Shop Boys” one-off Christmas Eve show (1x2 hr show)
* 8/4/00 Radio 2: “Essentially: the Pet Shop Boys Story” (1hr documentary)

Spending $$$'s does not a Pethead make. Not that I'm not one, but I think it's a many layered thing.

Oooo was that the one when they played some dance hits and 'Champagne Supernova'? I remember taping one show off the radio and listening to it on my paper round and cannot remember the year would bring back some memories that would be fabulous as my tape snapped

I have 'Essentially' as well - I recorded it onto tape, plus some radio 1 chart positions and interviews from around the time of Bilingual and Nightlife/Release
