Well that was just the KLF remixing a PSB single so tracks like that are not really gonna be eligible on a compilation like this. PSB didn't do any extra work on the track that doesn't feature on their original version.Ronald42 wrote:And there is one collaboration that's been forgotten PSB vs. KLF - So hard
In fact, no songs (like What Have I Done To Deserve This) that featured on PopArt are included here for the very same reason.

*drags thread up from the mists of time*
While scooting around, just noticed the tracklisting on this...
How freaky it is that this April fool's joke had a certain Bowie 12" as track 2, exactly as Disco 4 now, has six months later. Oh, and both albums also have Madge and The Killers in the first five tracks too. How peculiar...
Thank God there were a few on the joke list which didn't make it to the album though.

It's well known that Neil reads this forum regularly. But I had no idea it had such an influence on what album they release next!
So going by this 'joke' tracklisting, there are at least 23 songs written or produced by PSB that could be on a Collaboration album.
Wonder if they might want to slim it down to a single disc affair tho.

Yeah, Neil is a Cancerian after all... 
Regardless of what he says in interviews, he takes into account people's opinions and ideas very much.
Not only that, but what is even more freaky is that I seem to remember an April Fool's joke reposted from yonks ago announced that PSB were to score the soundtrack for a film called Barry, to be directed by the RUSSIAN director Stephen Poliakof!
BArry = BAttleship? Coincidence or just plain crazy?

I found this on sopetshopboys.co.uk. God, I can just imagine the verbal fisticuffs if PSB had really released a song called Introducing The Hand 
1st April 2004 - April Fool!
This was posted on Pet Shop Boys Community this morning:
Pet Shop Boys, who are set to achieve their 21st top ten hit with their brand new single 'Flamboyant', have announced details of their next project, to be issued throughout the UK and Europe by Parlophone in late June 2004.
'Barry' is the original film soundtrack to the forthcoming British film 'Barry Hunter', a Palace Gates/Channel 4 production directed by Stephen Poliakof. As befits the inner city theme of the movie, the album has been recorded on and off in various central London locations in the past year, and also features sterling grand piano cameos from Elton John on two pieces of music.
"For Chris and I, it was a complete revelation to actually sit and watch the raw rushes of the film and then to think about what music to create to compliment the scene," comments Neil Tennant. "We've never really worked like that before, but it's been immensely gratifying in putting together our first proper attempt at soundtrack."
"It was especially challenging for Neil, as it's essentially an instrumental album in all but name," adds Chris Lowe. "There's only four tracks with anything that could be described as vocals, which were actually old songs we had discarded, but listening back to the lyrics they seemed to work within the context of the movie. So Neil had plenty of time in the studio to read 'Country Life'," he laughs.
"Not only that," says Tennant, "but 'Vacancy' is also a piece of music one could describe as being in the can. In fact, we originally demoed it when we thought we were going to be asked to write the theme song for a James Bond movie in the 80s but nothing ever came of it.
'A Powerful Friend' goes back even further than that. It's one of the earliest things Chris and I ever wrote, and listening to it again, it sounds almost like it could have been written for the character of Darren, who seems to have some mysterious hold over Barry." The full track listing of 'Barry' is as follows:
Introducing The Hand
What A Morning
Motoring
Salon 'La Coiffure'
Fordwych Road Mary
Scenting Roses
The Rotweiller Jeweller
A New Boy In Town
Gnocci And Chips
Vacancy
Kilburn Jumble Sale
A Powerful Friend
Barry Hunter
Private Places
Only Love
The album was co-produced by Pet Shop Boys and legendary sonicmeister extraordinaire Brian Eno, with string arrangements by Oscar-winning composer Anne Dudley.
Prior to the album, 'Jack And Jill Party', described as a "uncompromising hard edged electronic dance track", which the boys have recorded with Dead Or Alive front man Pete Burns, will be released on their own Ye Olde English Vinyl label in May 2004.
Remixes of 'Jack And Jill Party' are being currently completed by Punx Soundcheck vs Princess Julia, Scissor Sisters and, most intriguingly, The Twin; the avant-electro brainchild of Burns's legendary glamour pop rival, Boy George.

Neil did actually re-record his vocals for the remix. He mentioned in an interview that he went to Trancentral itself and his cab driver asked if he was sure he wanted to go in there as it looked dodgyhestha1 wrote:Well that was just the KLF remixing a PSB single so tracks like that are not really gonna be eligible on a compilation like this.

Still waiting to hear the Adam Freeland, Manhattan Clique and Axwell mixes of Integral.
