Classic Pop presents PSB volume 2 out now

[Pete13]

In this special 132-page second volume of Classic Pop Presents Pet Shop Boys, we pay tribute to the greatest pop duo of all time. In this issue, we revisit Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe's unmatched career, from West End Girls topping the charts in the UK, on through their self-titled ‘Imperial Phase’, and up to their superb new album, Nonetheless.

Inside, we speak exclusively to producer James Ford about the making of the new album, plus we get behind the scenes on the 40th anniversary Dreamworld tour with its creative director, Tom Scutt. Elsewhere, we return to the very early days of their career and explore the 'Imperial Phase' that followed. Beyond that, we offer up an in-depth look at their sole No.1 album thus far, Very, and its dancefloor-bound companion EP, Relentless.

Of course, we revisit all the albums not explored in Volume 1, as well as delivering our definitive Top 40 B-sides and our pick of PSB’s collaborations.

Thanks for heads up Pete13 - got my 10% off
Cover 2 for me too!

Actually I prefer cover 1! Sharper less fussy love that pic of the boys though - was on a previous issue. Too late now

I couldn’t leave #1 behind So have two incoming, if you can’t find one, I’ll have a cover 2 that needs to find a new home!

Hi All, when was volume one released? Thanks.

[Disco.]

In 2012, it was the first issue of Classic Pop Magazine.

[drunk14]

I think it was in 2018, a special issue. The first CPM had PSB on the front cover, that is all.

[new_love]

Was it this one.

[Disco.]

No, it’s true that the first issue of the Psb special was in 2018, but the first issue of Classic Pop had a lot of pages devoted to PSB,they are not “just” on the cover, I have a copy of it.

[Disco.]

Was it this one.

Yes. It came in 2 different covers.

[leesmapman]

Ordered it. The first issue is pretty good, although it had quite some errors. It covered a lot, so I'm curious to see what vol. 2 has to offer.

I’d love a hard copy. Have on digital. Think this is it.

No, that is Classic Pop magazine, not Classic Pop Presents magazine.

Ah! Of course. Thanks for pointing out. Missed that bit. Same year different mag.
