Pet Shop Boys’ debut album “Please”, featuring the hit singles “West End girls” , “Love comes quickly”, “Opportunities (Let’s make lots of money)” and “Suburbia”, was released on this day 40 years ago.

Neil and Chris chose the album title so people could go into a record shop and say “Can I have the Pet Shop Boys album, please?”

A few last-minute tickets for all five nights of “Obscure Pet Shop Boys” have become available! They will be released tomorrow, Wednesday 25^th March at 10AM GMT via the link below.

Update: All tickets are now sold out.

Neil and Chris visited the offices of Thames & Hudson in London last week, to sign copies of their forthcoming book, “Volume”. The signed copies will be for sale at Rough Trade, John Sandoe Books, Goldsboro Books and Selfridges in London, Resident Music in Brighton, and a number of independent booksellers across the UK.

Out on April 7^th, “Volume” can also be ordered through the official PSB store as well as from Amazon and other online retailers.

Neil discusses his book, “One Hundred Lyrics and a Poem”, out this Thursday in paperback, and the new PSB book, “Volume”, in this entertaining podcast conversation with his old Smash Hits colleagues, David Hepworth and Mark Ellen. Link below.

We’d like to wish Liza Minnelli a very happy 80^th birthday! We loved working with her on the “Results” album and have so many great memories of that experience. Liza is a true star and it has been a privilege to know her. Look out for her autobiography which is published this week. xx

35 years ago today, Pet Shop Boys released their hit medley of U2’s “Where the streets have no name” and Frankie Valli’s “I can’t take my eyes off you” as a double A‑side single which also included the PSB song “How can you expect to be taken seriously?”.
