That's weird. I can't find the standard release anywhere else other than the Canadian store. Maybe it's a mistake?Gabby wrote: Thu 27 Mar 2025, 5:24 pm Ramzy - this might answer your question.
There seems to be a standard release too, and the image looks to NOT be gatefold (kinda hard to tell white on white but there's no shadow to be seen).

The US one is manufactured by Rhino/Parlophone

It's got a different UPC code to the blue (my first thought if it's a mistake would be to compare those).innerxsanctum wrote: Thu 27 Mar 2025, 9:17 pmThat's weird.

More mystery!
Re: Blue vinyl Discography reissue 30 May
My God, never realised how expensive the original pressing is.
"We have often been accused of writing "melancholy" songs: this is not one of them."..... Urm, the outro was one of the most melancholy endings to an album I'd heard at that point

Wow you aren't kidding! Just checked Discogs.jasonjohn wrote: Thu 27 Mar 2025, 11:43 pm My God, never realised how expensive the original pressing is.
Love Discogs - I forgot I also had this:

Re: Blue vinyl Discography reissue 30 May
Yeah, I noticed that too, but I would've expected a standard edition to be announced alongside the blue one (and both are the same price, which is also weird), so it's definitely a mystery. The Amazon US listing also has me confused because, as someone mentioned, it doesn't specify that it's the blue vinyl, yet clicking the SDE link redirects to that listing. On the bright side, at least in the USA, the vinyl is currently #1 in both the CD & Vinyl and Pop categories.Gabby wrote: Thu 27 Mar 2025, 11:29 pmIt's got a different UPC code to the blue (my first thought if it's a mistake would be to compare those).innerxsanctum wrote: Thu 27 Mar 2025, 9:17 pmThat's weird.

Hmm, yes, I'm surprised this hasn't come with a "Pet Shop Boys Since 1984" tag on it.Gabby wrote: Thu 27 Mar 2025, 5:19 pm Sorry for the multi-posts -this could be notable or just tin-foil hat territory, but this seems to be in keeping with the blue coloured theme they've had going on for a while now in the merch.
I'm torn... Do I really need this?

I don’t as have the original. But the red wine got the better of me last night and ordered off Amazon. Dilemma now is do I keep or cancel? Oops lol.

You only order limited edition reissues when you're drunk. Well, that's one way to Decide!dbaseboy wrote: Fri 28 Mar 2025, 7:03 am I don’t as have the original. But the red wine got the better of me last night and ordered off Amazon. Dilemma now is do I keep or cancel? Oops lol.
We already have three copies of the CD. But the blue vinyl is so prettyyyyyyy...

Re: Blue vinyl Discography reissue 30 May
I love the way it says "MOST DEFINITELY NOT FOR SALE"! Ah, the sweet innocent days before eBay and Discogs - as if that would stop anyone. (Although I suppose you could still find that kind of stuff at a specialized trader stall down Camden Market or somewhere similar.)Gabby wrote: Fri 28 Mar 2025, 1:08 am Love Discogs - I forgot I also had this:
