The Bilingual Remix CD is one I missed out on at the time. Regretting not buying it when I had the chance

You know about Discogs, yeah?

I know lots of PSB fans bailed around the time of Bilingual. I could certainly have gone that way too. Remember this is pre-internet, so you're effectively influenced by what you're doing in your life and the traditional media. PSB barely promoted the album, they were releasing self-indulgent singles (I never thought Single was a single, though I'm more appreciative of it now) and they then repackaged the album for the fanbase when it didn't sell. So I didn't buy this either.

I must be a loyal person though because I stuck with them even though worse was to come...

I mean...it was Right There....

I would venture further and say that for me, the version of Flamboyant on PopArt (a slightly different mix to the 7") is in my Top 5 PSB songs. I love it !

maybe they see it as a "duet" rather than a remix.

Just a couple of random funny comments from the last episode

Neil "Well, we've all worn Venetian death masks!"

Chris "If you get a remix from us, you also get Neil thrown in, whether you want it or not!"

Thanks Retro, I've never used them and had forgotten about them.
Time to get buying...

A fantastic remix, it eclipses the original IMHO.

Gary Davies played "I'm So Hot For You' on Sounds of the 80s tonight with appropriate PSB references. Wasn't expecting to hear it twice on the Beeb within a week!
