Pet Shop Boys - Kings Cross

Bit of a weird one, this.

You may, or may not be familiar with the track from the album 'Actually'.

I think it's a great tune, as are most of the tracks from this album. What's really strange is the fact that this song was first aired (via the album) 2 months before the Kings Cross disaster in November 1987 which claimed 31 lives in a fire on the underground.

I know it's coincidence but I find this particularly spooky..

Especially at 2min 30 seconds

Love PSB. Not seen the video before though and, yes, very spooky how that was first aired just before the Kings Cross fire!

A video was made for Kings Cross as it was intended to be released as a single rather than just be an album track

After the fire, that plan was changed.

I'm sure that I read about it at the time in the music press.... or I have just made it up!

For me, "Actually" is possibly PSB's best album.

I remember hearing West End Girls for the first time and thought 'Wow, this IS different'.
