B-sides. To cut to the chase, the Pet Shop Boys are one of the best acts in the pop game at making them, conjuring up crystalline gems of melody that many other artists would kill for to have as lead singles.
The sheer ease that Neil and Chris can come up with these tracks is evidenced in a bountiful new 2 CD compilation CD collecting together their b-sides from the mid 90s up to know.
As with the previous PSB b-sides compilation Alternative, consistency and quality is assured. And for us long time fans, this makes for a lovely treat to revisit old favourites.
