3.0 out of 5 stars One for the collectors, 15 Dec 2005
By Kurt Messick "FrKurt Messick" (London, SW1) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
When the Pet Shop Boys were first starting out, they were helped along by Bobby Orlando, a producer of Hi-Energy music on the New York scene. Bobby O was also producer for Corey Hart, who had the single 'Sunglasses at Night', a very popular hit also in the 1980s. That explains the combination of the two songs, together with a strange track entitled 'Pet Shop Boys' and a remix of a song from their second album, 'One More Chance'. These songs are obviously ones to which Bobby O retained rights over - the production values for all of these songs are very different from standard Pet Shop Boys issue, and the general remix is one that is more reminiscent of one done for a club than for release as a single.

The fact that this has four CDs in a double-CD case when in fact all the music would easily fit on one CD also smacks of a ploy to max the marketing potential - adding up all the music on these four CDs amounts to under 40 minutes of music. That's not 40 minutes per CD, mind you, that's 40 minutes total. (Do the math for the per-minute charge for the music given the cost of this piece.)

Unless you are the most die-hard collector of PSB memorabilia, this can be safely missed. The packaging claims to have a biography included - this is true, but it is a one-page piece of trivia points about the Pet Shop Boys (there is an English and German translation of the page).

There is a similar disc, Pet Shop Boys 'Maxi' that was released in the late 1980s, at the height of the PSB popularity. This is virtually identical; what remixing there is was very minor.

3.0 out of 5 stars It all boils down to West End Girls, 27 Sep 2005
By Mr. Mark R. Nolan "mark robert nolan" (Manchester City Centre) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am 34 years old now and I remember the first 3 tracks on this cd have been released at least 2 or 3 times in various ways over the years. IT IS NOT AN OFFICIAL RELEASE! Look at the artwork for a start. It must have been licensed years ago and the first half of it basically re-hashes alternative versions of the early PSB releases with Bobby Orlando, which, whilst reminiscent of them, were not the originals of those pre-Parlophone days. I still think they are an excellent novelty. I once read that the only mark by which to measure the PSB's success, from their own point of view, would be to have a 12 inch record in the imports section of the vinyl at HMV. Well, these mixes, albeit not official, were there from early on, so if time counts for anything then get them.

What is pleasantly surprising, is the sheer coolness of the 2005 house remixes, especially the West End Girls remix. This is an excellent mix and is very loyal to the original whilst actually sounding much better for a modern dance audience, without being formulaic or too trendy. I am a huge fan of the Dance God-Sasha's remix of West End Girls, as to be found on the limited edition 3 cd version of PSB's best of - PopArt - the hits, but this new house version of West End Girls is something to be proud of - even though it is not an official release. I think its perhaps indicative that these days Pet Shop Boys are so professionally revered, as indeed they should be (with just about everyone on the pop scene (and, my God, the rock scene!)referring to their work as an influence, that such a fantastic mix can surface.

I have to admit my love for PSB wained from Bilingual onwards but with the release of Battleship Potemkin, I am slowly walking back to the fold.

I know this is not official and they may not like it, but give it a try. West End Girls remix 05 is fantastic, the rest of it is ok but it may remind you of how they could have sounded without 20 years development. Generally, a joy.
