下面三張CD都是歐洲、應該是英國發行的bootleg version，不是home made CDr。由下面的track list可以發現全部都是PSB的remix以及少數B side，多數的remix都只有黑膠12"、包括promo only的版本，而這些PSB早期single的remix版本轉製成CD，品質極佳，完全沒有炒豆聲，與前面我貼出的UK CD single的品質不相上下，可以說是收藏價值極高的remix compilation。這三張CD唯一的缺點只有，印刷文字不易閱讀，因為套色太淡。下面的track list，黑色粗體字大概只有黑膠12"版本，紅色字體則是US promo only 12"。

Some of the great PSB UK card-sleeve singles...wish that I had the "IT's Alright" CD single, the sleeve photo is very cool
I like "Where The Street Has No Name" single, it has Brothers In Rhythm's "Extended Mix" of "How Can You Expect To Be Taken Seriously", a much better version than the original album version and it is only available here on this single, not even in their reissued and remastered 2CD edition of "Behaviour".

下面三張CD都是歐洲、應該是英國發行的bootleg version，不是home made CDr。由下面的track list可以發現全 ...
Aurally 1,2 and 3, a very demanded Pet Shop Boys bootleg CDs selling at very high price on ebay....the only place to get Domino Dancing Demo, Base Mix and Always On My Mind Instrumental versions.
The 10" version of "It's Alright" is very very rare...
Not many has all 1,2 and 3 of Aurally CDs...very very rare
Please(1986)是PSB在EMI／Parlophone的第一張大碟，一共推出了4張單曲(single)。右上角是West End Girls的12" single，也是PSB的成名曲，Side A是West End Girls(Dance Mix)，Side B則是A Man Could Get Arrested與West End Girls的7" version。英國當時有發行Limited Edition的10" single，真的是10"的黑膠，過兩天介紹It's Alright時，可以從照片看到10"黑膠與12"黑膠size的確有差別。West End Girls的10" Version沒有CD版本，除了前面介紹過的Aurally 2之外。至於美國的The Shep Pettibone Mastermix，可以在Disco(1986)的大碟中找到，Dub Mix也可以在Aurally 3找到。
其他的3張都是Opportunities (Let's Make Lots Of Money)，是PSB在美國發行的第二張單曲。左下是US 12" Single，一共4 tracks，Side A是The Shep Pettibone Mastermix，有12" Version以及Reprise；Side B則是Original Dance Mix與Was That What It Was?，後者就是所謂的B Side，也是Shep Pettibone的Mix。右下是Canada版本的12" single，當初在eBay買的時候是為了Side A的Double Your Money Mix，結果發現與Original Dance Mix完全一樣，這個mix也是包括英國在內的歐洲地區最早發行的版本。至於左上角則是這首單曲最罕見的版本，是英國發行的Limited Edition，Side A的Version Latina除了黑膠版本，還可以在Disco(1986)中找到，Side B的Dub For Money則可以在Aurally 3找到，都是由The Latin Rascals做的remix。這張黑膠另外一個顯然可見之處，那就是中間的labels特別大，旁邊的West End Girls就是一個很好的對照，同樣的大型labels黑膠，過兩天還可以在Introspective(1988)的UK 3x12" Limited Edition看到。
以下兩張照片的黑膠都是Suburbia，是Please(1986)大碟中的第四首單曲。上面的是UK Limited Edition with Double Sleeve，也就是內外兩個封套，兩個封套都有圖片，Side A是Suburbia (The Full Horror)，同樣的remix版本也可以在Disco(1986)以及2001年的digitally remastered版本(2CD中的CD 2)中找到CD版本；Side B則有Paninaro與Jack The Lad兩首歌，兩首都是所謂的B Side，前者後來可以在Disco(1986)中找到remix版本。下面左邊的則是US 12" promo single，Suburbia(Special Arthur Baker Remix)，Side A是Club Vocal Mix)，Side B則是Dub Version，兩個版本都只有黑膠版本，CD版本則分別可以在前面提過的Aurally 2與3中找到。
至於左下角則是West End Girls的3種不同版本的CD single，這3個版本都是德國的ZYX公司發行，與EMI／Parlophone的版本無論是Vocal、arrange以及producer都不同，EMI／Parlophone的版本是由Stephen Hague製作，但ZYX的版本則是Bobby Orlando製作。由於West End Girls成了hit single，ZYX發行了很多種版本的single，包括12"黑膠與CD single。我個人雖然收集了這3種版本，但只偏愛West End Girls(Mixes)這張，尤其是Acid House Mix與James Brown兩個版本；至於4 CD Set的內容，總共只有9 tracks，加起來不到50分鐘，一張CD就夠了；Golden-Dance-Classic那張也不到14分鐘，這兩套CD single差不多都是垃圾，在我所有的PSB作品中是聽過次數最少的。West End Girls最好的版本，仍以EMI／Parlophone的版本為首選。另外，收錄在Actually(1987)大碟的One More Chance，可以在4 CD Set找到Bobby Orlando製作的版本。

Hi Ivan,
Thank you so much for so much details and information, I really learn a lot from you, I never knew what PSB released in America and it seems that they started all in US. It is sad that not all their US 12" remixes are available on reissues and UK CD singles but some on "Disco", "Alternative 2 CD" and "Please/Actually's Remastered and reissued 2 CD".
I will look out for their old "US Remixes collection" CD, "West End Girls Remixes" CD etc as follows, as still see these on Amazon UK & US. I did not buy them before as I thought they were all "illegal" and unofficial "bootleg" CDs because I never see them on PSB's official homepage.
Do you have all these three US-only releases on CD?
Thanks for your information and now I know they are very US only releases when they first started in America with their big hit West End Girls.
下面兩張照片，第一張上面是Please(1986)大碟的第三首單曲Love Comes Quickly，左上是US 12" Single with 4 tracks，右上則是UK 12" Single with 2 tracks，tracks list可以在Discog.com查到。下面的兩張都是Actually(1987)大碟第一首單曲It's a Sin，左下是US 12" Single with 5 tracks，這張編號V-19256的美版黑膠單曲，封底印刷只有3 tracks，就是UK CD Single收錄的Disco Mix以及7" Version，加上You Know Where You Went Wrong，也就是所謂的B Side。但是這張US 12" Single，Side A是Pet Shop Boys與Phil Harding在英國特別為美國市場做的remix，好像只有美版才有，Side A收錄的兩個版本分別是Vocal Mix以及Dub。比較麻煩的是，同樣是V-19256的編號，我之前曾經買過只有3 tracks的版本，也就是與UK CD Single完全相同的內容。另外，同樣是V-19256的編號，也有只有4 tracks的版本。Side A長達9:14的Vocal Mix，也就是Aurally 2裡的Miami Mix，one of my favorite PSB remixes，我認為也是one of PSB's best remixes。Side B有Remix與Disco Mix，再加上You Know Where You Went Wrong。Discog.com的資料可以發現，V-19256編號的美版黑膠有好幾種不同版本，有些版本拿掉了Remix，也就是Ian Levine的Remix版本，Aurally 3可以找到這個Remix的CD版本。而下面右邊的是It's a Sin的Germany 12" Single，這個封面的single好像只有歐洲地區發行，Side A是Ian Levine長度8:18的Remix版本，Side B比較特別，是You Know Where You Went Wrong (Rough Mix)，這是PSB單曲的B Side第一次有Remix版本，我的意思是仍然是同一首單曲(It's a Sin)的B Side，但同時也有Remix版本，而且Remix版本仍然是B Side。
第二張照片的右上是What Have I Done To Deserve This?／Rent的Double A side 12" single，Side A是What Have I Done To Deserve This?的The Shep Pettibone Remix以及Dub Mix，Dub Mix沒有CD版本，UK CD single有的Extended Mix以及B Side的A New Life，也沒有放在這張美版單曲中；Side B則是Rent(The François Kevorkian Remix)，以及B side的I want a Dog，UK CD single有的Dub也沒有放在這張美版單曲中。這張是US First Edition，之後再版的就沒有封面，只有黑色封套加上一張sticker，而且有些內容好像也縮水為2 tracks。左上則是Heart的UK 12" Single。右下是Always on My Mind的UK 12" single，封面與封底與UK CD single一致。左下則是US 12" Promo single with 5 tracks，編號SPRO #04242，Side 1是Left To My Own Devices的Shep Pettibone Mix與Device Mix，這兩個remix可以在前面提到的Aurally 3與1中找到CD版本；Side 2則有Domino Dancing(Base Mix)以及Always On My Mind的Shep's Holiday Mix以及Shep's House，後面兩者都是Shep Pettibone為美國市場做的remix，其中長度7:28的Shep's House沒有CD版本，另外兩首歌則可以在Aurally 1與2找到CD版本。
