A decent and welcome remaster/reissue of a heavily underrated release. The remaster sounds fairly good, it's not overly compressed. However, there is enough of a difference that I do still prefer the original and more dynamic mastering.
The remaster is the same across the LP, CD and digital releases. The artwork and designs could have maybe been abit less...minimal, but otherwise I have no complaints, the LP sounds clean and great.
Definitely recommended. -

Edited 6 months ago30 years on, and this record really deserves to finally get a commercial vinyl issue. Only 500 promo copies, come on Boys, easy money to be had.
EDIT: Ok yes, reissued, a special triple vinyl edition would have been great retaining the original art concept. Outtakes and alternates (One thing Leads to Another & Forever In Love) would make a nice 12" as well. -
..So... June 2022, 10 sellers, all described with media condition as Near Mint or Mint only. No lesser grade than Near Mint? 10 out of 10??! Why can't I believe that 29 years after its release, that there would be 10 flawless copies up for sale at this given time, and none with the slightest ware? Do sellers really know what Near Mint means?

Solid tracks and an interesting departure from the mainstream. Very well mixed with a deep and powerful bass and crispy clear detail in the mid and high frequency range. Something that is missing on their latest album unfortunately.
The tricolor packaging is pretty clever, too. -
If you still want these songs, but can't afford the vinyl's price tag. Get the commercial 2CD Pet Shop Boys – Very Relentless

Bought this (CD version) at a Blockbuster Music in the Very Relentless CD bubble pack when it came out in 1993 and I loved every song. Today the music sounds very dated, but it still remains one of my absolute favorite PSB releases, partly because it's so obscure and partly because it came at a time when I was in love with dance music. I thought it was the perfect companion to Very. The synths on Forever in Love are on fire. The jungle beats on KDX125 will make you shake your hips on the worst day. This 3X12" release is so limited that it's my absolute favorite vinyl record that I own. Fun packaging and a true gem for any PSB fan. -
Does anyone know where the samples from "We came from outer space" come from? e.g. "do you know the difference between the two genders". I've Google'd it and couldn't find the answer :-( -
Beautiful promo on vinyl. 3 colorful records, with 2 songs each. some of the Pet Shop Boys most experimental works contained in this ultra limited run of 500 copies worldwide.
A true collectors centerpiece.
