Pet Shop Boys - SMASH: The Singles 1985-2020

[Dennis]

Agree but it's a bit disappointing if this release is to become their 'standard' greatest hits album for years to come (on vinyl especially), a new release of Discography on vinyl or a 20th anniversary edition of PopArt would have been much more iconic, without feeling like they're trying to tie up loose ends just yet.

Yes, but it also sends out the message they have done nothing of note since.

Which. You know.

(Teehee.)

The thing that PopArt has going for it is that they "curated" it into the Pop and Art CDs. Some of those allocations might be arbitrary but at least it felt some thought had gone into it and I think it made it a more interesting listening experience at the time. Plus two new tracks.

How did we end up here...

Bonus track:

Was there once going to be a Please SDE, or did I dream that? I think there was even a post by Neil on Twitter or whatever back then, with a cryptic comment that suggested he was beginning a thorough trawl through the archives.

You're right!

 

[ManilaChinchilla]

(PopArt's not got a great cover either.)

 

[Karl Siniak]

It's… not a farewell tour, product needs to hit shelves frequently.

Sorry I might not have been clear, I know this isn’t a goodbye celebration but I meant, it probably should’ve been used when the time comes for a goodbye celebration.

The Kylie one looks like a masterpiece next to the other three...

Screaming at their instagram post, “There’s a booklet.”

They’ve released a breakdown of the release but when they discuss the blu ray, there’s no mention of the videos being remastered, so we can assume they are just the standard definition versions, since surely the remasters would be a selling point.

I love Neil and Chris, but the quotes in that breakdown are the definition of "will this do?"...

The album cover is so, so shit. The zero budget jumped out.

They're giving greek company presentation for potential UK buyers.

 

[IceflamePhoenix]

I've got all the studio albums, the Agenda EP, and PopArt ... do I need this? I'm not convinced.
What I am missing are Disco 1-4, Alternative, and a vinyl pressing of Format.

I like the cover (other than the A being cut like that) and I would say it's very Pet Shop Boys.

Kylie's was great. Its problem was the selection of songs. Y'all should chill.

 

[OceanBlue]

Was that even Kylie on that cover ?

I'd rather jacket, than Fleetwood Mac it.
