... as heard on further listening
Anyone else think this is a total stomper (almost)
sure the final version is cleaner and more electronic .... but the demo hinted of hot trashy rockpop ... they could almost re-release it

I don't really like that version.
Hello my name is Neil Tennant and I'm Chris Lowe and we're of the Pet Shop Boys.

I like both versions of that song a lot.
It was a cough that carried him off. It was a coffin they carried him off in.

I like the demo too. I think Don Juan is one of their best b-sides.
A pity that most of the b-sides were released in only one version.

This version is by far better than the final mix. I really like it!

It's a demo, isn't it?
I like it as a demo.

My most listened too b-side....one of my fav songs by them.....good history lesson (the Balkans) too although Neil did make a couple of errors with the spelling
Both the demo version and the original are fab

Both versions rock...but I must admit that I have ALWAYS loved the the demo version. I think I loved it even more when it used to be on vinyl only before it came out on Further Listening...there was an exclusivity to it. I can see a fantastic video to Don Juan...with Neil riding a horse...hahaaha

I adore Don Juan, a most under-rated track as well. And the demo version is magnificent!

The demo is outstanding while the original version is nothing compared to the demo.
