Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0077779709724 Label: Capitol Manufacturer: Capitol MPN: 97097 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Capitol Release Date: November 05, 1991 Studio: Capitol Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Where would the '80s have been without the Pet Shop Boys? Discography makes a compelling case for the notion of Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe as pioneers, if not geniuses. Mixing the cold feel of Euro-techno beats with the Boys' quest for something warm between the sheets, "What Have I Done to Deserve This" and "Suburbia" sound almost soulful. Although they seemed to be suffering from a terminal case of boredom, they managed to alchemize their ennui into touching sentimentality in "Love Comes Quickly," "Rent," and, especially, the AIDS-oriented "Being Boring." Discography begins with the Pet Shop Boys' beginning, "West End Girls," traveling past "Domino Dancing" and including their covers "Always on My Mind," and the medley "Where the Streets Have No Name (I Can't Take My Eyes Off of You.)" --Steve Gdula Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Let's make lots of money!Functioning exactly as its title promises, "Discography" covers the singles released by The Pet Shop Boys in the span from 1985's "West End Girls" to 1991's "Was It Worth It." While in England, they ran up a string of hits worthy of superstar status, in the US, their run of chart luck ended with 1988's "Domino Dancing" (from Introspective). Perhaps it was their very dry British sensibilities, maybe it was homo-phobia, but listening to this set from start to finish really does make you wonder why ...

Still worth it, though. :) Rating: - fine retrospective of The Pet Shop Boys and their musicThe Pet Shop Boys show their talent on this very good, solid CD retrospective. It's full of their hits and great music. "West End Girls" begins this track set; they sing of the young women in London's West End district who meet "East End Boys;" and the musical arrangement makes good use of the strings, drums and percussion. Great! "It's A Sin" makes a dramatic arrangement out of the strings, female backup chorus, special sound effects to simulate thunder, drums and percussion. The Pet ...

Highly recomended if you like the 80's euro-pop-new-wave thing. Rating: - This is what a Greatest Hits CD should be likeI've always been a hugh Pet Shop Boys fan, and when I lived in Canada (Toronto) I was lucky enough to see the Behaviour Tour. Even though I already own all the songs on this Disc, I bought this CD again. Yes this is the second copy I've bought - one at home, and now one in the Juke Box at work. Filling a bar's Juke Box can be difficult - only 100 slots to please everybody who could walk through the door. Greatest Hits CDs are popular in Jukes for that reason - you an Artist's songs ...
