I'd put money on that not being the case, remember Londons UK release being cancelled. The boys used to be able to choose what singles were released, but that was back when they were a hell of a lot more popular than now
Unsure about the single release but it is clear from the press release that Neil and Chris decided that Disco 4 should be in the format we'll see next month.

To be honest I was more interesting in the new version of Integral than Disco 4.

We are the undersigned are slightly disappointed at the announcement of Disco 4 consider a huge number of fans have already purchased the remixes when they were released by the artist included on Disco 4.

I wonder if the petition would be more likely to be taken seriously if it was written in proper English...

I dunno, Flaffer. I'd say PSB were more popular with Fundamental than they were with Release.

sorry my post wasn't very specific - when they negotiated that right to choose singles I think it was in the early 90's
Still waiting to hear the Adam Freeland, Manhattan Clique and Axwell mixes of Integral.

Why do fans think that they *own* an artist and have the right to object to what they do? They could recruit the Chuckle Brothers as the Pet Shop Boys and release a hi-NRG version of the Chucklevision theme and there's jack we can do except not buy the single.....but knowing the PSB completist mentality, we'd buy it then slag off the b-sides.

I'm just pissed that Disco 4 hasn't got the 9-minute version of This must be the place.....how dare they? I've been a fan for.....it's absolutely disgraceful that they see fit not to.....yada yada yada.....

Why not respecting what PSB (or what artists ever) do release or not?

If it had been of mixes hard to get hold of or their own songs mixed I wouldn't give a toss really I wouldn't but some of these mixes have been done for successful singles/artists and most probably have them

I signed the petition but I don't know why. I hate Integral, formulaic camp OTT rubbish. They should have the decency to retire instead of releasing loads of sh*te like this
