[Introspective] Best Remix Album - We Knew It!

[Don Ackerman]

We know the PSB have the best remixes and it's nice to see NME understand it, too.

Pet Shop Boys, ‘Disco’ (1986)

The first remix album by Pet Shop Boys (they later released ‘Disco 2’, ‘Disco 3’ and ‘Disco 4’) features new versions of songs from the band’s debut ‘Please’ as well as its B-Sides. A lot of the tracks included were previously unreleased, or incredibly rare (the single with the Ron Dean Miller and Latin Rascals’ Version Latina of ‘Opportunities’ was going for up to £100), so it was chance for fans to get their hands on them. Filled with effervescent disco versions of the duo’s songs, it’s a toe-tapping companion to their chart-topping debut.

Best moment: The nine-minute epic that is Shep Pettibone’s mastermix of ‘West End Girls’.
