Before there was Literally and Annually, there was het Pet Shop Boys fanclub newsletter. I couldn't find much information on these newsletters though. Does anyone here have them all? What does it contain?

I do have one that has survived. I’ll try and find it and scan it in. It has the old Bobby Orlando era logo at the top and it’s literally copied typewriter text from Chrisia, Eric Watson’s wife! IIRC it’s just an update on what they had been up to, stuff like Chris having a gym installed in his home!! Random things really!

I've a few of them too, including one with a handwritten note from Krysia on the back regarding getting a full discography of the band!

"Hello, and thanks for calling the PSB hotline! Now stay right there for the latest information about Pet Shop Boys but only if you are the person paying for the cost of this call, or have permission from the person who does. This message was recorded on..."

Funny, they mention the It's a Sin release on 7" and 12" but not on CD single yet... It was a very new format back then.

I may be wrong but I don’t actually think it came out at the same time as the other formats.

It didn’t come out until six weeks after the 7” and 12”
