Pet Shop Boys Community

Everyone has a "Pet" hate. Even Neil himself admits he hates the full stop at the end of the title "Behaviour" on the album sleeve.
So the question is what's yours ? What irritates you in the wonderful world of the Pet Shop Boys ?

Mine, silly i know, is the fact that on PopArt "Jealousy" is followed by "DJ Culture", the same order as Discography - The Complete Singles Collection. I mean PopArt is unique in the way it was concieved, seperated from Pop & Art and to make it "not Discography with a second disc". Like i said silly, but it's still the ONLY Pet hate i have....until i think of another one.

- The sound of the atom splitting
- Hit music of the album 'Actually'
- the fact that they never released the 'Stent Mix' of Go West
- all the bloody recording errors on PopArt

New York City Boy
Saturday Night Forever
The Sound Of The Atom Splitting
The Patsy Kensit single passing itself off as an Eith Wonder record
London video
I Just Want To Stay Here (Dusty)

I'll add more if I think of any....

That "How Can You Expect To Be Taken Seriously? (7-inch version)" is STILL unreleased on cd, despite chances to include it on Discography, Behaviour Further Listening and PopArt.

That "For Your Own Good" wasn't a single.

That PSB promote their new material very intense in some key markets; preferring saturation over promotion in the rest of Europe.

- Them not releasing the book Chris Heath wrote about the DiscoVery tour
- Them not releasing the full 1989 tour
- Before
- Screaming
- Hit music
- Discoteca not being single
- Integral not being the lead single from Fundamental

For being clueless for releasing singles from Bilingual and onwards.

See what I mean

Yeah mine is Being Boring=original album version. And Disco-the first one

Poor single choices recently and the unavailability of Seriously 7" - I love that version!

New York city boy
Hit music
Sound quality of Somewhere Dvd
Derek Jarman Projections

I'm with Stupid - a charity record
Non-release of How Can You Expect... on CD (echoing earlier mention)
Single Billingual
Always including Go West on their setlist
Disco 2 - Aaaabsolutely, dreadful
Politics on the website

Hmmm... can't think of many as I've only been a fan for a few months, but:

- the Nightlife make-up and sunglasses
- single version (the most well-known version) of "Always on my mind" not being included on Further listening
- some weak work, such as Disco 2

I agree. I've been guilty of that, but only the very obvious ones...

I really hated that. Huge mistake....

1. Integral being released as a single.
2. Integral at all.
3. Careless compilation of the Further Listening series:
-mistake in Don Juan Disco Mix
-Different Original Dance Mix of Opportunities - why?
-meagre - Where are ALL the promo and vinyl mixes?
4. Album Version of Heart on PopArt, which is a compilation of 7" a-sides

What's the mistake in Don Juan (Disco Mix) then? Please.
