Notes

Released in November 1986, "Disco" is a collection of remixed tracks from Pet Shop Boys' debut album "Please", plus remixed B-side “In the Night” and Italy-only single “Paninaro”. The first installment in a series of 'dance/remix' albums - Disco (Pet Shop Boys).

Though not listed as such on this release, the versions appearing here are also known / were previously released as:
- "In The Night (Extended Mix)" - previously unreleased, possibly intended to feature on Opportunities (Let's Make Lots Of Money) (Dance Mix)
- "Suburbia (The Full Horror)" - standard 12" version
- "Paninaro (Italian Remix)" - from Paninaro
- "Love Comes Quickly (Shep Pettibone Mastermix)" - from US 12" Love Comes Quickly

"Opportunities (Let's Make Lots Of Money)" is very similar to '(Versión Latina)' - from the 12" "Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots Of Money)". At the very end, the track suddenly goes mono for the final stab, the following chord being clearly audible and fading out, whereas on the 12" the stab remains in stereo, the final chord being very faint and cutting off quickly. The ending is exclusive to "Disco".

"West End Girls" is a remix edit exclusive to this album; it is essentially the 'Shep Pettibone Mastermix', but with the intro of the 'West End Dub', and an extended fade.

        This is an album of remixes of some of their hits as techno disco dance music. Which is kind of funny as that is what their music already was. The auditory result is that the whole album makes every song sound - a bit the same. Even though they had different people mix each one, each song songs a lot like the last, but with slightly different melody and lyrics. As I was listening to Suburbia I kept thinking I should be hearing Opportunities lyrics. When I got to Opportunities, I was a bit disappointed. It's almost like all the songs have the same chord palate and so - aren't diverse enough on their own to warrant this treatment. It's like they put the vocals of one song over the background of another. Can't quite put my finger on it. It's a pleasant enough album. It's interesting to listen to if you like Pet Shop Boys A LOT. For everyone else, it's going to sound a bit, redundant and derivative. On the other hand, if you just want techno dance music for a period of time, this album would be great.

          One of their best. This japanese pressing sounds amazing. The remix by Shep Pettibone with that bassline is a gem.

                    This was another one of my tapes that near enough wore out i remember using an old Sharp Back2Back tape deck that strangely put a static "pop" on my original cassette over the years the beginning of the first track including the silent part sounded like vinyl....it was strange to here silence when i bought the CD i got so used to it lol...
                    a remix album that is done perfectly 10/10

                      The most timeless CD in my collection. There hasn't been any other music i have loved as equally now as when i was as young as 8 years old; Pettibone's mixes of "Love Comes Quickly" and "West End Girls" still fill me with awe and pleasure just as they did then.

                        Was there ever a cd version where versace was not omitted from paninaro and does anyone have the original album in excellent condition?
                        During the whole casual image in the eighties I'd say paninaro put me on the path of armani although I found versace dull and over priced.
                        Strange how a record can have direction on a wave of fashion for so many.
