By the way,
I was lucky to get hold of Nightlife US limited 2CD edition in sealed condition at low price from a seller on ebay...a nice transparent "Nightlife" cover that stores the glossy cardboard folder with the 2 CDs.
The most complete documentary of Pet Shop Boys so far on DVD: "A Life In Pop", journey of PSB from the very start until "Fundamental" era.... with interviews/documentary/videos/bonus extras of Pet Shop Boys. An essential for a PSB fan.
Hallo Spaceboy左邊的是Eighth Wonder的I'm Not Scared，這是PSB作曲兼製作的單曲，在PSB第四張大碟Introspective(1988)中也有PSB演唱的版本。上面是US 12" Single，裡面有長度7:58的Long Euro Mix以及長度7:17的Little Louie Vega Mix；下面則是日本版的The Best Remix CD，裡面有長度8:00的Disco Mix。在這張Best Remix日版CD右邊的是Absolutely Fabulous的UK CD Single，PSB是作曲兼製作以及Background Vocal。
最下面的是Dusty Springfield的單曲，包括In Private以及Nothing Has Been Proved。Dusty Springfield於1987年與PSB合作What Have I Done To Deserve This?這首歌之後，1990年推出了Reputation大碟，大碟的10首歌中有5首是PSB與Julian Mendelsohn所製作，PSB也是其中4首歌的作者、包括In Private以及Nothing Has Been Proved。我原本有買Reputation大碟，但是後來買了Reputation And Rarities(1997)之後，就趁著三年前搬家時將Reputation大碟賣掉。Reputation And Rarities(1997)內有14首歌，多出來的4首歌包括In Private長度7:11的12" Version，也就是下面那張藍色封面的UK 12" Single的Side A；另外橘色封面的UK 12" Single是Shep Pettibone的Remix版本，最下面的則是這個版本的UK CD Single，內容與12" Single相同；至於這張CD Single左邊的Nothing Has Been Proved，是UK CD Single紙套版(With 3 Tracks)。
最左邊的5張CD Single，從最上面開始：
第一張是Blur的Girls & Boys(1994)，買這張Europe CD Single當然是為了裡面7:16的PSB 12" Mix，這張CD Single還有長度4:04的PSB Radio Edit。
第二張Jerusalem，是The official Football Association England song for Euro 2000，我不清楚Fat Les 2000是什麼group，買這張5 Tracks UK CD Single，只是因為第二首是Pet Shop Boys Mix。
第三張是小野洋子(Yoko Ono)的單曲Walking On Thin Ice(2003)的US CD Single，內容非常豐富，有10 Remix Versions，其中有PSB長度4:09的Radio Mix、長度6:37的Electro Mix，以及長度7:58的Extended Dance Mix。另外，其他的Remixer還包括今年才過世的Peter Rauhofer(Club 69)、Danny Tenaglia、Felix Da Housecat、Rui Da Silva...等，其中前三位都曾經為PSB的單曲Remix。
第四、五張是Break 4 Love的兩張US CD Single，掛名的是Peter Rauhofer + Pet Shop Boys = The Collaboration，也就是Peter Rauhofer(Club 69)與PSB合作的單曲，CD 1有8 Remixed Tracks，CD 2則有6 Remixed Tracks，內容也是相對豐富。
至於Liza Minnelli的Results(1988)大碟以及裡面包括Losing My Mind在內的3張12" Single，前幾天已經在站上另外一個討論串貼過照片了。

下面的照片中的CD或是12" Single，全部都是PSB參與製作、Remix或兩者都有。上面右邊是David Bowie的Hallo S ...
Thanks again for the very comprehensive info and photos, I bought the deluxe/remastered edition with bonus tracks of Eighth Wonder's "Fearless" album two years ago for I'm Not Scared (Disco Mix). The CD maxi single of Eighth Wonder's "I'm Not Scared" is too $$$ on ebay, so I bought the remastered "Fearless" album instead.
"Fearless" is really great and poppy
Eight Wonder's "I'm Not Scared" kinda complements PSB"s own version on Intrspecive album, both versions are great for different reasons.
Track Listing
1. Cross My Heart
2. When the Phone Stops Ringing
3. Baby Baby
4. Will You Remember?
5. Wild Love
6. I'm Not Scared
7. Use Me
8. Anything At All
9. My Baby's Heartbeat
10. The Dress
11. Stay With Me
12. Cross My Heart (Dance Mix/Remix)
13. Let Me In
14. Baby Baby (Dance Mix/Remix)
15. I'm Not Scared (Disco Mix/Remix)
16. J'ai Pas Peur (French Version)

我想，我的Pet Shop Boys Rarity介紹大概就到此為止。以下是這個世紀(2000年後)才發行的大碟與細碟，這段期間的Battleship Potemkin(2005)以及The Most Incredible Thing(2011)我沒有拿來拍照(我認為這兩張像是Movie Score，不是dance music不太愛聽)，Concrete我沒有買(他們的Concert我比較喜歡DVD版本，但是買得不多)；至於今年的Electric，由於還有兩張CD Single還沒有收到(向PetShopBoys.co.uk訂購)，所以沒有放到照片中(我沒有買Axis的12" Single)。
唱片業在這個世紀的銷售進入新的模式，實體銷售快速且大幅度地減少，CD、黑膠包括Single在內，發行量與種類大幅減少，以單曲的remix來說，MP3反而大幅增加。PSB近年的單曲，remix version大多都是MP3版本，很少製作成CD或是12" Single，連Promo版本都很少，就算有Promo CD Single，絕大多數都是CDr(如果是CDr版本，我寧願download MP3)。Vocal與Love Is A Bourgeois Construct的CD Single雖然內容豐富，但是MP3的Remix版本更多，Winner、Leaving、Memory of the Future、Did You See Me Coming?等單曲也一樣。所以，近年來PSB單曲的Remix version，若是有發行CD Single，我仍然會買，但卻是聽MP3版本居多，因為無論是official或unofficial version，MP3的remix version仍然比正式發行的CD版本內容要多，Axis的12" Single就沒有Extened Version。
第一張照片主要是PSB的大碟，左上是之前遺漏的PSB第六張大碟Bilingual(1996)的第四首單曲A Red Letter Day的UK CD Single。下面兩排都是2 Disc Set的大碟，其中Disco 2(1994)是US的Limited Editon(bonus CD with 5 tracks)。Disco 3(2003)的UK Limited Edition(With 3 X LP、12 tracks)、日本發行的Mini(2000，still sealed)，以及法國發行2 X 12"的Lively Tracks(2001，still sealed)，我都沒有拿來拍照，其中Lively Tracks當初是為了Mark "Spike" Stent長度9:12的Go West(1992 12" Mix)買的，沒想到之後這個版本就出現在Very於2001年發行的Digitally Remastered版本的CD2。至於那六張2001年發行的Digitally Remastered版本大碟，我也是一發行就全買了，但沒有全部都拿來拍照，我想這應該是PSB的fans的must buy。第二張照片則是2000年後發行的single，其中有部份是UK DVD single。詳細的tracks list就請到discogs.com查詢。

多謝你提供的資訊，看起來仍然是MP3的remix version種類比較多。而且先不論12"黑膠價位昂貴的問題，收藏上也很麻煩，我在三年前搬家時，就優先淘汰已有CD版本的12" Single，另外我的收藏以12" Club Version為優先，對於Dub、Instrumental以及7"(或是radio)version的興趣不高。我搬家前大概淘汰了近百張12"，超過百張CD，Album與Single都有，全部低價賣給舊貨商。我大概只能說，若是曾經歷過80與90年代，就會發現相關的黑膠與CD種類繁多，現在的唱片公司已經沒有類似的發片策略。現在對於PSB的作品，我大概只會收CD，Remix若是有發行CD也會買，MP3的remix版本也可以滿足我的需求。

Ivan,
I have enjoyed reading all your reviews of PSB albums and singles so far and have saved the info for my future reference and record.
Your detailed reviews of PSB singles stopped at "Nightlife" era. What about the individual singles post-Nightlife era, such as the singles and EPs from "Release", "PopArt", "Fundamental", "Yes", "Ultimate PSB" and "Electric"?
We would love to have your reviews and photos of the interesting single releases and their formats from the each of the above albums as well, if possible. For example, what about collaborations with "Girls Aloud", "Morten Harket", "Madonna" and "Lady Gaga" etc?
For example, I really admire the very rare "Minimal" promo CD single (based on your photo) as I believe it is a very rare PSB item but we don't know its tracklist. So, do we have the luck to have your reviews of singles and their formats from the above albums, and what singles are only "digital/MP3"? It is important for a new PSB fan and many collectors who have just discovered PSB.
