The Pet Shop Boys had an enormous string of hits during the 80s and early 90s, especially in the UK. This album collects them all. While most compilations leave out essential hits to make you buy the original albums (Dire Straits, Prince, U2 and Simple Minds come to mind) this album has them all (OK, "How Can You Expect To Be Taken Seriously" is missing). From the first single "West end Girls" on all the hits are here. High points include "Suburbia" , "Heart", "Always on my Mind" and "Left to my own Devices". 80s music was partly shaped by these guys. For longer versions/remixes check out "Disco", which includes very long remixes of "West end Girls", "Suburbia", "Opportunities", "Love Comes Quickly" and the in 1995 remixed b-side "Paninaro". "Introspective" includes a strong techno-oriented remix of "Always on My Mind" and long versions of "It's Alright", "Domino Dancing" and "Left to my own devices"
fantastic had it, but my son borrowed all my pet shop boys cds and so i decided not to wait to get them back, and bought myself, discography, which is great as they have all the well known hits of the pet shop boys we have come to love brilliant cd.
What a fantastic album. This is a must for any cd collector . Anyone who remembers the 80's then this has to be one of the albums to be played at any party. Neil Tennant at his best. Truely awesome....
i love it as i went to see the petshop boys and cher live there my fave plus the other cd i bought for my sis as she loved it for a birthday prezzie jamie
saw them on tour on tv this a very emotive band used to play this all the time when kids were smsll in the eighties. all the tracks you expect and more fabulous
This ia an essential CD to add to your 80's pop collection, with classic hits including 'It's a sin' which is my favoutire, 'Heart', 'Domino dancing' and 'Rent'. It also has some of the later 90's hits which i personally am not so bothered with.
My step-dad asked me to buy it for him because he loves the Pet Shop Boys. He says the songs reminds him of his own life and of things which he regrets doing. He's always playing it in the car and I think the lead singer's voice is amazing and so unique.
The best of PSB up to 1991. If you just want to listen to their early hits then this is the CD for you. If your into them in a big way (then you already have this) it is a must. For later hits see 'PopArt'.
Could I put 10/5??! I love it so much that I could physically EAT it. Yes, playing it again after many years brings back memories of all sorts, but every damned track - in my opinion - is unique because that is how they have made it. When I hear it, or any track, possibly with the exception of one (even tho' the band have put their own stamp on it!) I just want to dance, sing, shout and be around people of like mind!! I first had the album on audio cassette (dodgy now), so then I bought the CD; now I am getting another - to cover all eventualities ....... Yes, it is easy to say but, in my own view, this CD is the BEST IN THE WORLD!!!! I get tingles just writing about it; am I nuts?
i bought this cd as my aunt is a massive fan of pet shop boys, she had been looking for ages in the shops for this cd but was constantly disappointed as it was out of stock, so i went on ebay, got a great price for it, it was fast delivery and although it was in used condition it was in excellent condition, now aunt very very very very happy.
If you haven't listened to The Pet Shop Boys for many a year then try this album! The first single I ever bought was West End Girls, 79p paid for with my pocket money! The Pet Shop Boys have gone on to have loads of hits including, Opportunities, Suburbia, Its a sin, What have I done to deserve this! Once you have heard them again you will wonder why you didnt have this album in your collection already, a trip down memory lane does us all good and this is one of The BEST trips of all. Book a ticket NOW and take your happy trip!
what more can i say, its got all there best songs on it and i got it on ebay for next to nothing. cheap as chips. go buy it now. if ebay was a girl i would like to marry her this minute.
Excellent CD remembering the best of their Top Ten hits over the past decade. I have always enjoyed listening to the Pet Shop Boys and can find no fault in the majority of their records.
The discography cd enables me to listen to all their hits at one session and at times whilst driving I play the cd over and over again.
I purchased the cd,as it is a greatest hit type recording. Some of the tracks are covered by a local due that play the club circuit in east anglia,they sound like the original artists whe they play certain tracks. This is one reason why I purchased this cd.
