Actually the artwork for the new PSB single is really good isn't it

  • October 12, 2012

We hadn't really thought about it very much until we were putting the Side By Side mix online as a Big Song last night but the two sleeves for the upcoming Pet Shop Boys single 'Leaving' are really good, aren't they?

In the sense that if you had, hypo­thet­ic­ally, been a fan of them around the time of their first two albums, and someone from the future  showed them to you, you'd probably say, "yes, this is what the best band on the planet probably would have on their record sleeves in 25 years, based on what I already know and like about them".

More so than, say, this.

It certainly makes you think.
