Don’t have a clue either. The label is a Dutch record label but nowhere on any of the Dutch online or physical record stores can you find it. Neither does amazon have it. Why bother with a video and all and then not make it widely available.

Yeah, I've tried Plato here in Leiden where I usually buy all my stuff. Really odd.

Removed from Spotify hahaha.
This release is practically a bootleg now.
Must have been pulled for copyright reasons. PSB don't approve.

Too bad I didn't download it first.
It doesn't look like there's a clear way to rip songs from Spotify, unfortunately.
This goes to show, if an artist you like releases something you better grab a copy of it because it might just go missing.
Same goes for the Elysium and Electric track by track commentaries. They were bonus tracks on Spotify, I remember listening to them but they don't seem to be available anymore.
There is a separate thread about PSB songs going missing from Spotify but I'm choosing to post here.

You use the program Audacity which can record streaming audio - that's how I got my copy of it.

It must have been prematurely put up by mistake in the first place. Release date 9 Nov 2020.

Maybe. It's just the 1 track though.
I was imagining they put 1 out early as a teaser for the full release.
Is the video also a mistake? I see them both as promotions.

Leibrand mix available on youtube

The longer Ben Liebrand 9 course suite mix is available on Periodic Table of Synthpop's latest download, although I'm not sure these can have any copyright clearance as they contain a raft of remixes.

Seems it’s time for another Bobby O cash-in again. Just wish more of the original material got released instead, like that unfinished album or at least the 25-minute jam of the song Pet Shop Boys?

How much influence does/did Bobby O actually have over all the reissues of West End girls? The vast majority after 1984 seem to be German or Dutch, with German artists doing most of the remixes (Tess / Hurricanes), and it's notable how few reissues his own tracks seem to have had over the years. Seems more likely that it's the record companies that are cashing in?

Bobby O has the rights to the original version of West End girls.

Is the release cancelled? Did anyone actually get the vinyl?

Why bother with these 3rd grade remixes, when we had a new version by the boys themselves, not long ago?

Beats all of those by a country mile.

Because one thing doesn´t cancell the other, if we can have both!
