Disco 4 – Surprise or major disappointment
The cat is out of the bag now and it seems the latest news on the official site was like a big earthquake, splitting the PSB community in half! On one side, those majorily disappointed fans who expected to get some new and unreleased material from the boys and on the other side, those fans that will buy anything that PSB releases. In the end, the official announcement tracklisting for ‘Disco 4’ is causing endless discussions and debates between the fans.
But, think back to 1986 when the first ‘Disco’ was released. There are no rules about what must be released. Ultimately, it’s up to the boys to decide what they want to release. If fans are upset by this tracklisting, then perhaps they don’t understand the idea behind the ‘Disco’ series.
For all uninformed, here the tracklisting of the upcoming release:
01. The Killers: Read My Mind (PSB Stars Are Blazing mix)
02. David Bowie with Pet Shop Boys: Hallo Spaceboy (PSB Extended mix)
03. Pet Shop Boys: Integral (PSB Perfect Immaculate mix)
04. Yoko Ono: Walking On Thin Ice (PSB Electro mix)
05. Madonna: Sorry (PSB Maxi-mix)
06. Atomizer: Hooked On Radiation (PSB Orange Alert mix)
07. Rammstein: Mein Teil (PSB There Are No Guitars On This mix)
08. Pet Shop Boys: I’m with Stupid (PSB Maxi-mix)
Somethings about the upcoming releases
SirenDisc.com just has updated their infos about the upcoming releases, which possibly will released in the following formats:
Integral (Sep. 17.) – release on 12′ Vinyl and Enhanced-CD
Disco 4 (Sep. 24.) – release on CD and Vinyl
All those facts are taken from mail order shops in the internet! According to Neil nothing is REALLY confirmed yet! So please take these infos for your own use. We assume the release dates could be postphoned another time to a later date! EMI Germany currently deny an release of ‘Integral’ which make us think, that the single will come out as a Parlophone -UK only- release.
Check back the official page in the next weeks!
PSB C A T A L O G U E now online
From today, August 1st the best known ‘PSB Discography’ is history and the page has changed the design and the name!
The new site is now called ‘PET SHOP BOYS C A T A L O G U E’ and beside the old Discography texts (which were setup by Lazlo Nibble in 1997 with the help of a big bunch of die-hard Petheads) it will feature pictures from the massive back catalogue of the Pet Shop Boys.
The page still is under construction, which will take another couple of months.
We hope to get the page finished around Summer 2008, when most of the items are pictured. The result should help collectors and fans to find their way through the jungle of the vinyls, cassettes, cds and other records of the Pet Shop Boys. It also should help collecting and catalogue PSB material.

PSB C A T A L O G U E online gegangen
Ab heute ist die ehemalige Pet Shop Boys Discography Seite in einem neuen Design zu betrachten und hat ihren Namen gleichzeitig gegen einen neuen eingetauscht.
Unter dem bekannten Namen ‘Pet Shop Boys C A T A L O G U E’ wird sie in Zukunft nicht blos den riesigen Backkatalog der Jungs beinhalten, sondern auch Bilder zu den veröffentlichten Pet Shop Boys Tonträgern und Raritäten der letzten 25 Jahre liefern.
Die Seite ist noch immer nicht vollständig und wird bis zum Jahresende weiter vergrößert. Dabei werden viele Bilder gegen neue hochauflösendere Scans ausgetauscht, die den Sammlern helfen sollen, sich im Dschungel all der Platten, Kassetten, CDs und sonstigen Formaten der Pet Shop Boys zurecht zu finden!
Viel Spass schon einmal beim Stöbern!
