How to watch it (the documents, but now I'm talking about trailer too) when you're not from UK?
VPN or sail the seven seas. Arrrr!!
It'll almost certainly get uploaded to Youtube by someone sooner or later.
No luck with VPN here. Set to UK, still says unavailable. Oh well, Youtube it is.

Not in the UK
I know it, we love the night. One of the reasons British people (PSB too) come here in summer.
To be fair, you do also sleep all day
In Spain, life is a bit easier.

Oh, what I’d give to have 24 hours alone with this box!!

You wouldn’t have enough time!!
But gosh! There has to be some gems in there
Demos from 82. A cassette labeled "Pet Shop Boys LP". Lots of stuff from 1983. It needs to be overseen and released.
Gotta believe the Boys have gone through these boxes and found all the gems OR they are holding them out for some type of final release closer to the end of their careers.

Someone needs to raise this at one of the Audience withs, and not take no for an answer!

These are some drool-inducing teasers!
I hope they'd play more demos, not only those of future hits but also something like If looks could kill or even something that we know nothing about.

Really looking forward to this - I hope those cassette tapes get converted / recorded before they degrade...

Hopefully salty and with hot butter drizzled over the top - that's the only way to go with popcorn.

was thinking similar ... but then when you think that they have kept a hold of them for 42 plus years and are all neatly labelled up ... I am sure they have these captured digitally somewhere.
p.s salty popcorn for the win here also ... drizzled butter - new to me but sounds yum!

I don't think they will have had those tapes digitised. Remember that we're looking at it from the point of view of being a fan, not from the point of view of being a Pet Shop Boy. I have the impression that they don't think there's any gold left to mine there. Hasn't Neil said previously that there are no songs they consider worthwhile left in the vaults? I think they view those cassettes as historical curios, no more.
