Reviews

This is a beautiful collection of otherwise uncollected pieces. I Want a Dog is one of my favourite Pet Boys songs; poignant and wonderfully sung, it has Neil's trademark, deadpan, sense of humour all over it. It's nice to have the track on an album with all of the other similarly smart b-sides. (Of course Dog Wanting is also on Introspective.) -
Edited 20 years agoThis is a collection of Pet Shop Boys B-sides from 1985 to 1995 (originally intended to be called "Besides"). While some groups only use remixes or garbage on b-sides the Pet Shop Boys always had the claim to deliver tracks that are worth the money. So here we have two cds of quality pop other acts would built a whole career on and with Shameless a song that has chart topping potential. A reworked version of Paninaro which was originally released as the B-side to Suburbia in 1986 was a single in its own right in 1995.
