PSB cd - Worth a Listen

[disco-disc]

Got the new Pet Shop Boys CD - Back to mine - a compilation on which they (allegedly) choose their favourite tracks (as though they were going back home late at night with some friends to listen to music)

There are some really good tracks on Chris Lowe's CD:

European:
Savage / Mr. Flagio / Klein &MBO / Flirts /Matia Bazaar

Classics:
Celestial Choir / Carl Bean

Others/Camp / Fun:
Queen / Dusty Springfield

As I say it's well worth a listen..............and Neil Tennants might grow on you, if you can take (mostly) classical tracks

Cheers

This looks good to me. Those guys have great taste. I have the Dusty tracks, the Flirts, Carl Bean and the Diva soundtrack...but I'd like to hear the rest---especially that Celestial Choir track that people keep asking about in the ID section.

Is it available in the U.S. yet? :-?

Hi Marky..
P.S. Thanks for the complete list VideoSkooter.

Marky, I got a re-issue of Celestial Choir a few months back in UK, I'm sure they would have copies left. Both sides play same c. 4.30 original version

Let me know and I will dig out the shop's contact details, it cost about £16.00, but you would have to have shipping costs added.
WELL WORTH IT if you do not find one in USA.
