From official site:
The forthcoming Popjustice complilation album includes a new recording of "It's a sin".
Pet Shop Boys have given their 2004 recording of the "Barfly" version of "It's a sin" for release on the forthcoming "PopJustice: 100% Solid Pop Music" complilation CD which is released in the UK On October 23rd.

When Pet Shop Boys performed at the Barfly for the War Child charity in 2004, they programmed a new version of "It's a sin" and later recorded it in their own studio, shortly before performing it on the "Parkinson" TV show in Britain. This is it's first release.

On the same day, Robbie Williams' "Rudebox" album is released which features his collaborations with Pet Shop Boys: "She's Madonna" and "We're the Pet Shop Boys". Pet Shop Boys' live album, "Concrete", is also released on October 23rd.

This bodes well that the rest of the Barfly versions may get to see the light of day. Anyone heard this it's a sin version?

I love the Barfly versions. I wish they would release the entire set..... That was a great night out, only surpassed by the Mermaid Theatre event.

is it the same version they performed also on Montage tour?
if that's the one, I like it very very much

No! The Barfly & Parky versions were really stripped down musically. The Nightlife version was defitnately not stripped down, it was pumped up...to perfection!

More electro, if I remember correctly. Very effective though, and definitely worth a studio release (as we're now getting).

I remember seeing it performed on Parky and must admit I didn't like it much. The Barfly versions of West End Girls and Opportunities (as heard on Jonathan Ross's show) are far better - hope they get released

Are these versions on youtube or anywhere else? I can't seem to find them, but any assistance to listen to them would be really appreciated. Cheers

This version is "too cool" 9/10

It´s great version. But maybe they could have done completely new one

I've never heard it before. Has anybody got any vids of it?

It's a shame the comp will be mixed.

This would be a great b-side to Integral, which I hope they release as a single.
