I suspect it's because, like Battleship Potemkin and The Most Incredible Thing, they consider this a "Tennant/Lowe" project rather than a "Pet Shop Boys album proper," with "Pet Shop Boys" listed only as performers.

The only album that doesn't is Inner sanctum (yes it's a live Blu-ray but it's also a live CD)
Well Inner Sanctum is a "proper" album yes, but the one word rule is for studio album releases.

Not every other album - remember "In Depth"?

Sister Ray currently offers best overall price for the 2CD edition. With cheapest postage and using bonus code SISTER10 it's only £18.30 including postage, that's 5-6 quid cheaper than Rough Trade

They used monochrome cathode-ray tubes (CRTs) that displayed text in only one color against a black background. The two most popular and iconic colors for these displays were phosphor green and amber (orange).Beyond that, the combination is also used in modern tech for:Networking: Orange fiber optic cables often pair with green connectors to indicate specific hardware standards.Interface Design: Digital interfaces frequently use green for "success/go" actions and orange for "warnings."

What does everyone think?
Great observation! I think you're 100% right. I love the cover especially the vinyl version with what I am assuming are computer punch card holes.

We'll have to wait 20 years for it to be confirmed in Volume 3....

Well, quite, and if we're counting Inner Sanctum as an album purely because it includes a CD then we ought to count Disco Four (and to some extent all the Disco albums save the first one) as containing two words, and that's before we consider the Further Listening albums, Bilingual Remixed, Back To Mine, PopArt, and so on.

Tried for tickets but even at 10:00, 10:01 and 10:02 it was saying Low Availability yet then ‘There aren't enough tickets to complete your request’ even when selecting 1 ticket! 😠

I had the same problem - repeatedly trying 'Find Tickets' meant Ticketmaster's site on my laptop and then my phone locked me out and suspended my browsing for suspicious behaviour. I'm not a a bot, just a genuine customer trying to get a ticket to an event I'd like to go to!!!

So fkn annoying isn’t it? I wish they’d do it by a fairer means eg code allocation for being a fan club member. I know it doesn’t exist anymore but you get my point? Hope you’re lucky.

Yup. Same. Logged on at one second past 10am to "There aren't enough tickets to complete your request". One minute past 10am and the event registers as 'Low Availability'. Then after a few attempts to search I was locked out for suspicious activity. Bonkers.

Same here, was on it straight away and then booted off for suspicious activity, it's so frustrating! Having worked previously in a museum in Manchester I suspect half the tickets will be freebies to staff working across the various Imperial War Museum sites and other prominent museums within the city.

Seems like there’s a few experiencing the same thing going by comments on Facebook. Either get a bigger venue, tour the conversation or sort out the ticketing process (ie don’t use Ticketdisaster)! 😠
