      There is no way to say that this release is "Chilean" because all the credits, manufacturing, labels and Righ Societies information priinted on sleeve and labels refers to Argentina. This can be very confusing for any collector trying to get this supposed "Chilean" release, because you always will get an Argentinean one. There is a that changes the country of release to Chile every time somebody tries to put the right one just becuse it was sold a few months earlier there than in Argentina (this exact relase was also available on the Argentinean market short time before it was on Chile). Sad and confusing, but that´s how things are. Just keep in mind that this is in fact an Argentinean release.

        La mia copia visivamente è un VG+/EX, tuttavia presenta un ben udibile fruscio su entrambi i lati.
        Ascoltando questa stampa non avverto nessuna distorsione nella voce su Only The Wind come altri sembrano segnalare nelle stampe UK... capisco che l'ultima canzone del lato è sempre quella più difficile da tracciare.
        Nel complesso questa edizione ha un suono molto piacevole da ascoltare, ma è anche carica di bassi potenti.

          Behaviour (1990), by Pet Shop Boys, is an all-time great album. One of the surprisingly few albums ever made without filler.
          Despite them having hit-filled albums, such as Please, and Actually, preceding it, this is their best. Whereas Actually can sound a bit of an eclectic hits compilation, as can, to a lesser degree, Please, Behaviour's masterful Harold Faltermeyer production leaves it sounding like a proper album. With each song being different, yet similar, it sounds like a dream from start to finish - with Being Boring (one of their best songs) the perfect introduction, and Jealousy being the perfect grand finale (running orders really do matter).
          The only way you could improve this masterpiece is to switch in the Extended Dance Mix for So Hard, and the even more dramatic Extended Version of Jealousy.
          If you don't like this you don't like music, so GTFO:
          6/5!

          FYI - Be sure to listen to all PSB's albums up to, and including, Very/Relentless (1993). After that, mostly just check out the singles, 'A Red Letter Day', was good, with 'Somewhere', and 'Love Is A Bourgeois Contruct' being great. Although I haven't heard everything since myself.

              Having collected all the Australian issues that I believe exist I have questions about this issue.
              I see the Matrix numbers on the vinyl, are these stencilled like UK copies or scratched on like earlier Australian LP's?

                Pop music just don’t get much better than this,just utter joy from start to finish.There isn’t a bad track on this very melodic album.If on a scale from 10/10 ,I would give it a jolly 11,it really is that good!.

                  26 minutes of music on one of the sides is just dumb, dumb! Solution, low volume and compression to hide the resolution and to create the illusion of more bass than there actually is, hence compressed. I'll stick with my original CD until this is spread over 2 LPs.

                    Wonderful copy. No noise whatsoever, astounding sound, detailed, beautifully mastered. Loved the record, love it even more now.

                      It's a tie between "Actually" and "Behaviour" as my favorite PSB albums of all time. Not one single bad song on either album. Can you believe it?

                        In my top 10 albums of all time. Utter classic. Such high quality lyrics, arrangements and beautiful songs.
