Pet Shop Boys' Earlier work (experimental)

I still have more posts on drafts so you will see those very soon. These items you see before you, are quite rare at the same time early Pet Shop Boys work as in experimental. I love this era or short period where they work with Bobby O or Bobby Orlando. It's pretty much "Pet Shop Boys", "West End Girls (original)", "Theme for the Pet Shop Boys","One More Chance"and "Sunglasses At Night" and the combination of the few as one megamix. One from Epic Records and the other two below are Zyx Records. The top one is the 12 inch of the original "West End Girls" and "Pet Shop Boys." Also the photos of the Boys are done by Eric Watson. The four disc CD set is the Maxi CD set which have the songs "Pet Shop Boys", "West End Girls (original)", "Theme for the Pet Shop Boys","One More Chance"and "Sunglasses At Night" and the remixes were done in 86'/88' The Ultimate Mix have these songs too minus "Pet Shop Boys" and "Theme for the Pet Shop Boys" which are sounds and one sounding like an instrumental riff of "West End Girls" I just love the sounds of Maxi CD single because they give me an idea of how Kraftwerk would be even though they are way more experimental since they made their own machines. This is also the Boys raw creative side of them minus their later experimental work and then by working with Bobby O just really makes it exciting.They don't sound like this now of course because of changes in music genres and favorites through the years but in all honesty I really do appreciate this short period. I love the strange and bizarre if you like this type of music I would suggest give it a listen. You can't find these anywhere on youtube but except a few but here's one: Theme For the Pet Shop Boys << this you hear Pet Shop Boys being said but this is the one that have the riff of "West End Girls".
