We had a wonderful first “Obscure” concert in Camden last night with a “no hits” set list which everyone seemed to be able to sing along with anyway. Thanks to our fabulous special guest, Sylvia Mason-James, and to the legendary Princess Julia for her DJ set. And thanks to the fantastic audience of Petheads! See you again tonight. xx

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?”
