CD Reviews

One for the collectors
FrKurt Messick | Bloomington, IN USA | 11/09/2005
(3 out of 5 stars)

"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)."
