Spoke with a gay frien dof mine yesterday who said the only PSB songs he knew were Go West and East End Boys (!). What would you put on a compilation for him??

So far The almighty Mix of New York city boy is on, and Flamboyant.

1 80 minute CDR =

1 Sodom & Gomorroh Show
2 Go West
3 Heart
4 Se A Vide E
5 Somewhere
6 Flamboyant
7 Shameless
8 Jealousy
9 Its Alright
10 Its a Sin
11 Integral
12 NYC Boy Almighty Edit
13 In Denial
14 Closer to Heaven
15 West End Girls
16 Where The Streets Have No Name
17 Always on My Mind

Also known as "Best of PSB" playlist for the gym on my Ipod!

Some leading singles:

01 Can You Forgive Her
02 Left To My Own Devices
03 Heart (single version)
04 Before
05 A Red Letter Day (single version)
06 Liberation
07 DJ Culture
08 Flamboyant (great choice)
09 New York city boy Almighty edit (if you really have to)

And some of the B-sides and album tracks
10 The Survivors
11 Your Funny Uncle
12 Miserablism
13 Hey, Headmaster
14 Indefinite Leave To Remain
15 Shameless
16 Violence (Haçienda version)
17 It Couldn't Happen Here

... something like that

and if there's enough space left: For Your Own Good

Great, always interesting to see what people put. 'Heart's' a good choice, even if it's hard to locate the 7" mix. I guess the only place is Discography...

Was that so important to be mentioned that he was gay? Does it suppose to have an impact on the shape of a compilation?

Not sure if it has any bearing on it really, other than that he is. The only time he's heard go west is in gay clubs. Goodness knows how he's managed to miss their entire back catalogue!

I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing isn't a bad idea, I kind of forget about that single for some reason. Its dated a bit perhaps.

Quickest solution is to buy him PopArt I'd say. Only downside is it doesn't have many ballads, which are equally one of the Boy's strengths.

I'd suggest PopArt as well.

Crikey, a gay man who hasnt followed 'gay' music???? Whatever next.

I like the aforementioned singles plus a few b sides as well.

Paninaro ´95...
