Well, apparently American Record Companies don't wanna do that yet because American record companies think they won't sell records if they used Copy Control CD technology. In some instances they're right. Only time can really share the real answer there but in the meantime (for the Pet Shop Boys), you'll just have to take a plane to Europe, Asia or Australia and buy the CD yourself. What a great trip that would be AND you would help and support two really great artists who aren't in this for the money, they're in it for the art! Well worth the money I think-heheheh.

So what do you get for your hard earned dollar here? Well, let's do the math. First, Pet Shop Boys are NOT an "eighties group" as one earlier uneducated reviewer wrote here. No, these fellas are the creme dela creme of pop. The crown jewel (Neal being the queen of course and Chris being your royal heiness) of modern music as we know it. In fact, no artist today can even come close to their artistic creativity with such a witty sense of self in both lyrics and music.

So much of pop today is disposable. You've heard one song, you've heard them all and unfortunately it's sad to say that the real good music today that has been made already doesn't seem to evolve. Well, the Pet Shop Boys have evolved, sort of. In their 20+ year careers they have managed to move past eighties pop new wave to become real techno and house stylisms. No easy task as they are LITERALLY the only originated eighties "new wave" group that has made it out of the eighties and nineties continuing to sell over one million copies of every album they've released worldwide. So, what you get here is a barrage of really great music. Not Britney, not Christie Agga Gagga, not Madonna, not Erasure (although I love them too), NO, you get the Pet Shop Boys slam bam thank you maam with all the trimmings to go with it!

My favorite in this lovely collection is the "Mix" CD which you can only get in the first print box edition. You get 10 glorious singles remixed by some of the best in the business. I highly recommend spending the extra dough for the three disc set since it displays a great montage of some of their best works. You can't have ALL of their best works here because that's what the original albums are for, use your money, go out and BUY them. Artists today can learn a lot from these guys. Which is why Justin Timberlake is an artist I can respect because HE respects these guys a great deal based on what he said in his interview with Spin magazine. Now you know why Justin is as succesful as he is. It's all about respect baby! Respect copywritten music and respect artists like the Pet Shop Boys! Peace!
