Wow. That's bizarre, I was wondering recently if the PSB's would ever go back to using a Fairlight. I find it strange they want a IIX as I recall them mainly using a III.

The Pet Shop Boys have asked an agent to buy the IIx shown in the 
main description page of the forum. It's good to see it go to a 
great home. The IIx is in great shape and working very well. It was 
Tom Bailey's (Thompson Twins) and Martin (808 State) then it was 
Chris Ringham's and then I bought it. The Pet Shop Boys wanted it 
for new material they are working on and are trying to get back to 
that hit selling sound on previous album. I'm woundering will they 
tour again with a fairlight ???????? maybe not.
Best regards

Hi Peter
All of the early Pet Shop Boys stuff was on IIx's. They had 2 of them (one
they owned and the other they hired.)The Old Grey Whistle Test and Top of
the Pops archives show allot of IIx usage. They did use the Series III allot
on the 2nd album onwards. They might have also got a Series III as well
recently, I don't know but I can tell you they got a Series IIx that is a
prime example and is great condition with a copy of my library. I never
thought of it before now but what if I heard a single of theirs with one off
my samples, that would be a bit spooky. The reason I wanted a IIx in the
first place was because of artist like them etc. Things have gone a full
circle.... so to speak.
Best regards
Colin
