Some random thoughts - although I think everything they did in the 80s is gold, I feel like they didn't explore the Love Comes Quickly soundscape enough. A few more songs in that vein would have been great.

Bought the CD/Blu-Ray set of Smash. It looks nice though I cannot lie, I am disappointed that the videos are not remastered. The Always on My Mind video looks stunning because they used the 4K scan from It Couldn’t Happen Here. I realize that was for a film but it would have been nice for true remastered videos.
That’s a shame they haven’t remastered the videos, I suspected this since there’s no mention of it, I might just stick to the vinyl box set for this release then.
I got the following message from their online store several weeks ago and haven't heard anything since:
"Unfortunately, we are currently experiencing a very high volume of customer service inquires and cannot provide a tailored response to your inquiry at this time."
They don't know what I want, but they can't give it anymore, apparently.

So, was that that it was...?
Have people been finding Smash in the shops a day early then?
I bought from the official shop and got it today. The vinyl box is a marvel. The booklet is great too - I still want to know why they are excluding How Can You Expect To Be.. from all these compilations. It‘s so odd just have this missing when they spend a bit on each single in the booklet.
Mind that there's a dedicated thread for this compilation.
On the tour last year there was an (expensive) signed print.
Anyone going to the Wembley show tonight, be aware of Harry's 'stadium clash': https://www.ovoarena.co.uk/events/detail/pet-shop-boys
So excited to see the boys again after 6 years!

I think it was in Classic Pop that Chris mentioned that he specifically likes the remix/single version but they just don't consider it a single.
