Great news, but why the hell don't they release that compilation on vinyl? Fans already have many of these tracks on CD already. I vinyl release would be so much more worth having.
Fatsou is my cat...i can't stop listening this song since the day she was gone in the worst condition out of the blue because of a heart atack...is so missing her....r.i.p. my little girl... ...
wow. im a huge fan of theirs and ive never heard this song before. MAN THIS SONG IS AMAZING!!!!! MOTHER HELL!!!! they REALLY did a great job on this. one of my new favorite psb songs ever. and it was instant. awesome.
Amazing yet again from the Boys. The fact that a masterpiece like this was only released as a b-side just highlights the unbelievably high standard of their music.
@Actuallysalemslot i dont know. this song is amazing, yes. but so is King of Rome. thats a great song too. they should just put this on too and make it a bigger album. YES is a GREAT ALBUM!!!
Arguably the best PSB b side ever. I still think In The Night is the best and I always wish they would play this live at their concerts. I also like A Man Could Get Arrested (2nd West End Girls release) Don Juan (Domino Dancing) and I like the Casting A Shadow music for the eclipse. It would be brilliant if they did a concert exclusively for B sides and unreleased material.
The most beuatiful B-side from the Yes era so far. Up and Down is definetly in second right now. Thanks a lot for the upload, I get tears in my eyes of these b-sides, how do PSB make them sound so brilliant? Love you PSB!
I look more forward to the new b-sides than I do the new album!! They are always so amazing and exciting!! "In the Night", "Too Many People" and now :"After the Event" join the ranks of my favorite B-sides!!!
This is why I love them. Their B' sides are non mainstream and they can expand their musical talents. I get more exited by the B'; sides and they are hidden jems. In some ways I am glad that they chose not to release this as a single because it is for real PSB fans those who buy all the their work. I think this song is overtaking Don Jaun as the best B side...well that's my opinion. Superb.
Hmm, yes, between this and "The Way It Used To Be", with Phil Oakey... Just a shame they didn't make it to the final album. And they probably won't surface in concert... *sigh* But yes, same here, counting down the days and hours until the O2, heh.
Would be brilliant if PSB did a concert entirely of B sides and songs not released as singles
In the Night - Shameless - A man could get arrested - After the Event - Hit and Miss - Music for Boys - It must be Obvious - Casting a Shadow - Don Juan - Bright Young Things - I made my excuses and left - Once More Chance - I Want to Wake Up - Young Offender - The Man Who Has Everything - I'm in Love with a married Man - To Step Aside.
Shameless, Too many people, Delusions of Grandeur, Bright Young Things and now After the Event are the best B sides from Pet Shop Boys. This songs have the quality of singles!! Bravo Pet Shop Boys... Now we are waiting for 3 new singles - The way it used to be, Pandemonium and More than a dream and next super B sides!! :-)
what can you say? moving; sad and full of beautiful sounds moving in gorgeous harmony and strength.
Why can't we have albums like this? Not trying to please anyone - just them!! I truly believe that is what those of us who love their music really want.

There's so much praise for this song here already so I guess there's no point in adding more... but who cares. Simply wonderful...

My my this song is just so good. The best PSB b-side. By far. And I thought Shamelsss was good. This is way more amazing.
I'd argue and say it's one of the best B-sides of any band ever.
the8thark 2 years ago 2
Sounds great. This electro sound truly does them credit! I would even go so far as stating that they have more or less reinvented themselves with it.
If anyone is still looking for proof that electronic music is not simply a cold-hearted, monotonous drum computer product: Here it is!

Hmm, "Yes" came out to what, 50 minutes or so long, and "Yes, etc." was two CDs... They could have had some more stuff in there.
And indeed, we should all lobby and riot or something until they give us "Alternative 2"
