West End Girls is probaly one of my all time favourite tracks however aside form the Sasha remix whish loses the baseline really rendering it pretty insignificant, there are no great remixes that i have heard. Are there any?
The ones on Simon’s link above are not for me.

alistair

seanc80 as with Blue Monday, remixes of WEG are superfluous

Dan

seanc80 The Morales Red Zone mix is their best remix. I still play that…well…used to 🙄

Bizarre that there are so many loosers in this thread dissing the Pet Shop Boys.

It’s really akin to saying ‘Giorgio Moroder - load of old shite’ or ’Depeche Mode’s Violator? Utter wank’.

No appreciation for what they did in bringing house music to audiences who hadn’t engaged with it before.

Biting satire of the 80s life…

alistair West End Girls, Love Comes Quickly, Being Boring, Rent, Left to my own devices, Domino Dancing, Suburbia, What Have I done to deserve this, Heart and It’s a Sin.

Agree with the exception of Heart. I think it may have been their only number 1 (can’t be arsed checking) apart from West End Girls but even Tennant dismissed it as throwaway and I tend to agree.

alistair

bosstrabs it was one of four UK number ones, the others being Its a Sin, Always on my mind and West End Girls. Love Heart (esp Shep’s Disco mix) including its marvellously eccentric wedding video with Ian McKellan and Patrick McNee

alistair

bosstrabs you knew this was their imperial phase, because they were penning big hit records for the likes of Eighth Wonder, Dusty Springfield and Liza Minelli.

Go West was their finest moment

alistair

Old-Dutch no it really wasn’t. Insufferably camp

alistair Such a moody track….that Baseline.

nicksneddon I remember this, hearing Age of Love for the first time on the radio one breakfast show! I think the guest mixes are up on soundcloud. I seem to remember they did it 2 years i a row 91 and 92.

They are what kickstarted my interest in house music. Not too keen on then now but was really into their first 5 albums I think Behaviour was the last one I really liked.

alistair

j_b often go back to Please, introspective, actually and behaviour. Wonderful albums. No need to listen to the others
