So we know they had 6 tracks laid down for "live" performance as well as the song Pet Shop Boys by september 1984. And they also had a version of A Man Could Get Arrested and possibly also That's My Impression.
9 tracks that are not only demoes but proper recording. There is, it seems, master quality material for the 1984 album lurking around somewhere.

And I forgot to mention. The setlist from that gig in september 1984 should be part of the Obscure set list.

I Get Excited (You Get Excited Too)
Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)
Later Tonight
West End Girls
Rent

Which means there must be recordings of "master quality" of all these songs, not just OMC and West End girls. I want these on an album SOON!
Go and buy Introspective, Please and Actually and you'll have them.

Well, no. Excited is not on any of those albums. The Bobby O mix of Rent and Opportunities were recreated for radio around 2003 (IIRC)

I’ve asked / posted before but there was a promotional video from c. 1986 by TSB bank that followed some girls to watch PSB play at (think) Brixton including scenes of them performing.

In Alternative Neil says there is a remix by a Puerto Rican DJ of the Bobby O version of Excited.
Sad that all these tracks never been made publicly available.
