Undertow to be released as next single

[goughsjd]

I also bought annually for annually the same reason I did literally...
I've also bought the vinyl and I buy it digitally coz I never be arsed burning cds anyways !

Just ordered the 12".
Really happy with both releases to be honest - won't be bothering with the digital stuff on itunes though.

So those that bought Annually with the hopes of exclusivity got burned? Shhhhhhhhhocking. I'm glad I held out to buy the tracks for just $3.

I'm even glad-der I'll be able to sell this one to some poor soul for 100$ on eBay if I feel like it. Fancy a pink book with an exclusive-non-exclusive CD in a POCHETTE designed by Farrow?

[JSDOUVRES]

Is there something I'm not getting here? Some people are annoyed because the sold out book and cd single does not contain "exclusive" tracks? Jesus, really no way to please some people is there? I personally don't think it should be as limited anyway and don't understand those that have a problem with others getting hold of PSB tracks. Is having a release knowing others may be missing out really something to celebrate? I don't think so. Strange.

The Burn remix by Baba Stiltz is over 10 minutes long! Unsure if this is a good or a bad thing...

Based on what I've heard from his Soundcloud page, I'm feeling his mix is going to ruin the power of the original. 10 minutes of sadness and wasted time

Ok, I think being the one who initially expressed that criticism here, in that thread, I must clarify some things before more people taking up that game again.

First of all, we're going to get another wasted opportunity here - a three formats single just for four tracks, with (almost) identical tracklists, where 12" could feature some other remixes/edits/Super Tour studio versions as 12" exclusive tracks and digital EP could feature a digital-only brand new b-side in a way of "Love etc.". Just think about that for a minute. Surely, "Undertow" is the last call for us to get something else from "Super" and they're limited on resources, but even considering that still it could be done in a more imaginative and fruitful way. This single features two main tracks from "Super", "Burn" and "Undertow", both with a lot of potential for a remixes. There are many DJs eager to work with them. Few more remixes (plus one new/previously unreleased track) could turn it into outstanding release and make it sure US Dancefloor #1 hit.

That was my initial point of criticism about that release.

But yes, I must confess that I'm fancy the idea of annual exclusive CD supplement for "Annually", at least as being partial exclusive (but not so limited in print as "Annually 2017" is, so everyone could get its copy). Personally am I not even a collector, let alone being completist or rare/exclusive stuff hunter, I'm too poor for that kind of fad and always opts knowledge rather than possession, informance instead of memoralibia and physical items. I just think it could be natural thing after closure of official fan-club.

So think about that before striking a high-flown pose of "true & grateful fan" and accusing anyone here for "craving for having an exclusive things", folks. It's very amusing to read these "manifests of loyality" after some of you here in another thread already dismissed forthcoming Further listening reissues as (possibly) "having not much to offer us now", with all of these mp3s in our media libraries illegally grabbed from exploits in old OS and spoiled some of us.

I've ordered the vinyl single... and the Super tour programme because that seems to be back in stock now.

I am literally just throwing money at the Pet Shop Boys at the moment. I think I can say with absolute confidence that there isn't another music act that I've funded with even half the amount that I've spent on PSB in my life.

Sadly, after listening to that I agree.

Tell me about it. If I totted up how much I've spent on them in the last few years my nose would bleed. Still, my choice I suppose!

I suppose there might be a small chance that like The Pop Kids and Say it to me, some extra Citrusonic promo mixes of these two tracks could pop up on Dirrtyremixes. My hopes aren't high though. Still waiting for the Offer Nissim remix of Twenty Something to make an appearance.

Some hucksters can't even wait to get this pack in their hands and already trying to get long buck.

"There will be an exclusive 3 track promo cd with unreleased mixes which are only to be found on this cd."

Mwa-ha-ha-ha

"Please notice that shipping is 1 or 2 weeks after the release date, because I ship from germany when I got it from UK."

Curious to know what will happen if this seller won't receive his Annually package from OS (lost in transit or something else)? Goodbye long buck?

[ZiggyPSB]

Getting the CD was a delightful bonus. I'm not really bummed about the contents being released elsewhere. I'm glad that I successfully ordered Annually after the sheer disappointment of missing the last Literally.

[Padster]

Deleted. Apologies I thought soundcloud links would be ok.

[BlackPanther]

Just ordered mines from the official site,only £8.99

Sure, but depending on where you live Amazon may be cheaper including postage. Besides that, Amazon knows how to package vinyl, the official shop doesn't. They had to resend my copy of Inner Sanctum 3 times (!) because it arrived damaged everytime again. Very annoying experience.

So my copy will be ordered at Amazon UK
