Pet Shop Boys Artist Snapshot:

Formed in the mid-1980s, the British electropop dance duo Pet Shop Boys neatly summed up the age of WALL STREET player Gordon Gecko's greed-is-good dictum and Ronald Reagan's trickle-down economics policy in one of their early singles, "Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)." However, unlike most of their companions in the 1980s charts, they proved to have remarkable staying power, scoring hits throughout the decade and well into the '90s, and undertaking intriguing and successful collaborations with iconic pop artists like Dusty Springfield and Liza Minnelli. Their later projects included scoring a West End musical and a 2004 live soundtrack to the classic 1920s Russian film, BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN.

Review

Spin (12/91) - Highly Recommended - "...this odd couple has been responsible for some of the most awesome and emotional music of recent years..."
Entertainment Weekly (11/22/91) - "...[the two] new tunes suggest the Pet Shop Boys are still in their prime...the planet's canniest, most compulsively shameless pop group of the last 10 years..." - Rating: A+
Q (12/91) - 5 Stars - Classic - "...The surprising thing about the collection is its consistency...both quality and style...gorgeous pop melodies, smartass lyrics..."

Title Note

Although the Pet Shop Boys are a rarity, a dance-pop band that makes well-structured and satisfying albums, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe are at heart pop classicists who appreciate good hooks above all else. Their brilliant collaboration with Dusty Springfield, "What Have I Done to Deserve This?," and their even-better mash-up of U2 and Frankie Valli hits, respectively, "Where the Streets Have No Name (I Can't Take My Eyes Off You)," reveal the duo's underlying respect for and mastery of classic pop forms.

The other 16 songs here range from the breezy "Love Comes Quickly" and the Latin-tinged "Domino Dancing" to the more mature and emotionally weighty "Jealousy" and "Being Boring," with all of the tracks placed chronologically to chart the duo's increasing abilities. Best of all, DISCOGRAPHY: THE COMPLETE SINGLES COLLECTION gathers the original seven-inch single mixes of all 18 songs, as opposed to the longer dance mixes (and often very different album versions) found on previous CDs, performing a valuable service for fans who first discovered them via the radio instead of the dance floor.
