As one of my all time favourite PSB songs I'm up for that (although the version they did for Disco 4 was a hack job). In fairness, the original is such an incredible over-the-top Trevor Horn "everything but kitchen-sink" masterclass production, I don't see how it could be surpassed.

The question is, are the boys even still against Digital ID?

Retro. :)

It still irks me that the album version wasn't released as a single, yet Numb and Minimal were...

It was begging for a "everything but the kitchen sink" 12" remix wasn't it?

Another one you can file in "PSB Missteps" (someone needs to start a thread but it wont be me, because I know someone will put teasets in there too! :lol: )

Indeed. An extended PSB mix of the original would have been most welcome. I've never really got on board with the reworked version that was eventually released. It lost all the 'oomph' and intensity of the Horn album version, for me...

If Liberation is there, then I'll throw Burn Baba Stiltz remix in the mix

this is a forum for discussing Pet Shop Boys. if you're going to post off-topic stuff, use the off-topic section.
obviously the song was written about issues that were apparent at the time, which goes to show this has been an ongoing problem.

The topic is obviously related to a Pet Shop Boys song.

That's what I thought.. I read through the thread and can't see anything "off topic", unless it's been deleted..

It’s a direct topic of a pet shop boys song. I fail to see the problem.

Agreed. I thought the same when I saw the news. Neil even referenced the topic at one of the Nonetheless Q&As if I remember correctly.
