Ultimate Deluxe edition review

This is the special edition cover.

This is the standard version cover.

This compilation was released last year on November 1^st. There’s two versions: One being the standard or regular version with the songs in chronological order including the new song “Together”, which If I’m not mistaken was the idea from EMI and the other one is the deluxe or special edition, which also includes a DVD with 27 BBC performances from mostly Top of the Pops 1 and 2, with a few exceptional appearances from Old Grey Whistle Test, Wogan and Brit Awards and finally includes as well the Glastonbury 2010 performance which pretty much like their Pandemonium tour minus “The Way It Used to Be” being in the track listings. The color scheme on this version is different from the regular, I guess to avoid confusion. The standard version of it has a color scheme of cool colors: green, to blue.  While the deluxe edition have warmer colors with one cool color: pink, orange, orange yellow and purple. I gotten this from a fan as a gift, I guess from buying the Life in Pop on DVD for the person. It’s a really choice idea because if you’re a newbie fan and want to test out their material at first hand, this is one of them because you get the idea what the Pet Shop Boys are all about, as well as Life in Pop DVD and PopArt the DVD(their videos) and if you have more of a fascination then getting their compilations like PopArt CD, their B-side sets: Alternative and Format, bookwise Introspective, Catalogue, Annually, Special, Literally and Pet Shop Boys vs. America are something else to get into. If not then there's their concerts: Highlights/MCMLXXXIX (VHS) which is only 30 minutes of it(more can be found on YouTube, Performance, Somewhere, Montage/Nightlife Tour, Cubism/Fundamental Tour, Discovery(VHS) more can be found on YouTube, and Pandemonium tour which includes a CD version, but it has lesser songs than the DVD. I’m not saying to get all at once because fans work on their own paste but whatever that is in your interest definitely test these out if you haven’t already. The deluxe edition also includes a little booklet of silhouettes of the musicians with a color schemes I mentioned earlier on each of them and it has the credits for both the CD and DVD. I would definitely consider this for an artist's choice.
