I´d already, happily forgotten about it as well, until I realised that we´ll have to rate the whole thing!
Funny, it's still available for pre-order! https://www.petshopboysshop.co.uk/petshopboys/petshopboys/Annually-2019/61PL0000000
I pre-ordered this in February and changed my Visa card in March. I panicked when I got an email yesterday saying my order had been cancelled due to the payment being declined. I'd forgotten to update my PSB order with the new bank card details. I was so relieved when I saw I could still order it! It looks like a brilliant issue, and of course the CD makes it unmissable!
The live album is out in NZ... Really have to blast it, since it's a bit on the flat side. Not impressed with the sound so far, but I do prefer it to "Concrete", so make of that what you will.
They really set my OCD off with the Inner Sanctum packaging, all the discs being the same colour as the holders they go into, and none of them matched, had to swap them all around. HONESTLY. Has anyone’s copy of Annually arrived yet? Mine was despatched Tuesday but still not here.
Same! I almost had a heart attack when I noticed the first one was wrong, I thought I got a duplicate disc and immediately assumed one would be missing. My copy of Annually arrived and awaits to be opened, PLUS we got Agenda on cd and vinyl this weekend. I feel so spoiled with goodies! I still haven't watched the video but I'm listening to the audio now, what a brilliant show it was. Live PSB is a lot more fun a listening than I always think it would be. With the shows being centred so much around the visuals, you'd be forgiven for thinking the audio recording is not worth listening on its own. But without all the lasers and smoke, it really highlights how great their live productions are, musically. At work giggling to myself reminiscing that fantastic night in 2016 (I went to the original run of Inner Sanctum and I'll just pretend this is the recording I'm listening to).
