Pet Shop Boys - It's A
Sin (Disco Mix)
I have more vinyl,CD’s
& Singles of the Pet Shop Boys than any other band, when they burst on to
the scene in 1985 with the Number 1 hit “West End Girls”, I have pretty much
bought everything they have released, except for the album “Electric”, which is
their worst album by a country mile.
The boys came back with a
bang after the disappointing chart positions for “Love Comes Quickly” (Number
19) and “Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots Of Money) (Number 11), although the
fourth single off “Please”, “Suburbia” did fair better reaching number 6 in the
UK Singles Chart. When they released “It’s A Sin”, it was a track they had
already written when they made their first album “Please” and was the lead
single off the follow-up album “Actually”. A fantastic sequence driven 12 inch
version is one of their best 12 inch cuts, certainly one of my favourite 12
Inch Singles by the band.
The Disco Mix has a
running time of just under 8 minutes and sees the song, in a way, split in
half, with the first half mainly instrumental and the latter being the main
element of the song. It was released in June 1987 and reached Number 1 for 3
weeks in the UK Singles Chart and enjoyed massive success across Europe.
The Vinyl 12 Inch Single
also features the non album track “You Know Where You Went Wrong”, the same as
the version on the B side of the 7 Inch Single, as well as the single version
of “It’s A Sin”.
