Sadly not. Two absolute stinkers, “London” and “The night I fell in love” really drag it down. Both make my skin crawl.

Actually very excited to hear what a new producer brings to Pet Shop Boys. As much as I love him, I was getting a bit bored of Stuart Price.

I’m sure I read somewhere that Sophie is her aunt, hence why she appeared in Mika’s Sophie Muller directed “Grace Kelly” video. Sophie Muller has directed some of Mae’s videos too.

You haven’t tracked them down have you!?

I made a “Something more to remember” playlist ages ago and it’s my go-to Balladonna collection as a companion piece to “Something to remember”. Best of her ballads (that weren’t included on the original album). I love to see another official ballad compilation...

There’s a really good interview with Gillian Blakeney in the podcast Fascinated with Gearoid Farrelly (Episode 4), on Spotify. Spoiler alert… she did pretty well for herself.

My copy has the same mispress. I have no idea if it’s rare (or of value). I was a bit peeved really.

The only weak part of “Bedtime Stories” is “Don’t Stop” which seems a bit out of sync with the rest of the album. A bit basic and throwaway… “Sing lah-dee-da-dee” I’d love to hear some similar honey-coated vibes from Madonna again. “Crave” came close.

Oh dear. I have just bought her album on eBay on the strength of this remix, hoping for more undiscovered gems.

I reckon an official version of the Pride Island 2019 performance. A Madame X tour sample, as it were.

I would love a Jesus Loves You “The martyr mantras” super deluxe edition. Listened to it today and it’s a great album. Sooooo many remixes that would happily fill a disc or two and then there’s the shelved tracks for the abandoned follow-up album “Popularity Breeds Contempt”.

After the announcement that the Dreamworld tour was postponed again, I thought they should rename the Greatest Hits tour Together, as we will all finally be together once again. “Together” has already been a single and the word “Together!” features predominantly in the backing vocals of one of...

I’m sure I read somewhere, in an interview with Pete Barrett (who did most of their sleeves) that Pop Life’s mismatched cover design was due to the fact that they could never agree on which photo to use. They all wanted the one that they thought they looked best in. A common theme if you look at...

Great in-depth interview about Pet Shop Boys remixes from SuperDeluxeEdition. Agree about the stodgy “Vocal” remix package... less is definitely more. https://www.superdeluxeedition.com/interview/dj-culture-how-do-the-pet-shop-boys-decide-who-remixes-their-songs/#comment-1614763

I vaguely remember (probably reading it in Smash Hits) they were going to release a cover of Culture Club’s “Time (Clock of the heart)”, but nothing came of it. Does anyone else remember this?
