    After I listened to my favourite songs on this remastered CD, West End Girls and Love Comes Quickly, I decided to keep the original 1986 CD. The '86 CD is far quieter than the remastered one, but their dynamics are better, and the singing is more in the foreground.

      WHAT AN AWESOME album and what an awesome package of 2 cds and an awesome booklet with awesome stories

      great remastered and well done

      it was done with a lot of love. Thank You parlophone for that great idea.
      The Pet shop boys had huge cds and a lot of hits in the 80s and 90s and even their b sides were great

        "A Man Could Get Arrested" track 2-1 on this release is not the regular twelve-inch B-side also referred to as the 'alternative version'. The whole intro (16 seconds) has been removed replaced by an extended cut of the rhythmic tracks (drums, bass, synth). Apart from that new beginning, the rest remains unchanged. The overall duration of the track is 10 seconds shorter than the 'alternative version'.

          Track #4 (Disc 2) is a previously unreleased mix - different to the actual 12" version released in 1985 (Dance mix) and which reappeared again in 1986 (Original Dance mix). I literally spoil you with my trainspotting, I know.

            The track listing on the outer slipcase says that the dance mix of "West End Girls" (CD 2, track 6) was previously unreleased on CD, when in fact, it was. The dance mix of "West End Girls" appeared on the official PSB compilation "Essential" in 1998.
