Factoids, Extras & Eggs:
1. Very exhibits one of many turning points Pet Shop Boys has made to their music, shifting from subdued electronic pop of Behaviour with a move to more thoroughly instrumented over to top dance arrangements. The content and lyrics led to Very being called their "coming out album" since, despite widespread rumours almost a decade, it was during this time that Neil Tennant had publicly announced his homosexuality.
2. A limited edition of Very was also released in as a double album entitled, Very Relentless. The second disc, Relentless, was a six track dance album containing tracks that are more experimental and instrumental. There were plans to expand upon Relentless in 1994 by releasing the six tracks along with others making a full dance album, but this evolved into Disco 2.
3. The original release of Very is packaged in a unique orange jewel case with raised bumps (sometimes unofficially described as the Lego case) designed by Daniel Weil of Pentagram in London. Very Relentless was similarly unique, with the two CDs housed in card sleeves (Very in orange and Relentless in pink) with both of these housed in an outer rubber case with raised bumps.
