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" Essential!

I have recently inherited a 1st Generation Apple ipod from my son and I was looking for music to download onto it. The name 'Pet Shop Boys' came to mind and I bought this CD from e-bay. Not being in the first flush of youth this was my sort of music during my youth. However I did not find that it had dated at all and I found my youngest son, who had laughed at me for buying, listening to it when I was out. I think it would appeal to all ages as it is feel-good music to sing along to as we supposedly sink into a recession. The Pet Shop Boys are akin to Abba. Cheesey music but everybody knows their songs even if they do not realise it. I can't really fault it at all. Review ID: 10000000008711273 Was this review helpful?

I have been a great Pet Shops Boys fan/addict from the start of their careers with West End Girls.This is also my all time favourite track.It never dates and sounds good everytime.This album I have had to replace several times,as I just wear each copy out! Its great for playing in the car,listening to when chilling,I even take it to the gym! I have seen the PSB lots of times 'live'and they always give value for money.They may be getting a little older now,arent we all!but their material is still edgy and well constructed.This as you would have gathered, is the CD to buy,to illustrate the complexity and talent of the PSB! EXCELLENT! Review ID: 10000000008672391 Was this review helpful?
