Official Website, Google, VH1, MTV, Wiki, MySpace, Yahoo, All,

1. Please (3.24.86)
3. Actually (9.7.87)
4. Introspective (10.10.88)
5. Behaviour (10.22.90)
7. Very (9.27.93)
10. Bilingual (9.2.96)
11. Nightlife (10.11.99)
13. Release (4.1.02)
18. Fundamental (5.22.06)

These were not included for because:
I don't consider them albums
2. Disco: some in “Please Further Listening” and the rest are noted.
6. Discography - The Complete Singles Collection: irrelevant due to PopArt The Hits.
8. Disco 2: sucks. a continuous song, with breaks.
9. Alternative: a B-side collection of Further Listening releases.
12. Closer to Heaven: It isn’t considered a Pet Shop Boys release.
14. Disco 3: is pretty much the Further Listening of Release, and some elements of Closer to Heaven.
15. Best of - PopArt The Hits '03. Contains 17 of the 18 (from Complete Singles Collection, first 4 albums) and 18 tracks from the next 4 albums.
16. Back to Mine: Didn’t feel like adding it.
17. Battleship Potemkin: is not considered a Pet Shop Boys release.

Comments: Originally I owned the Complete Singles Collection (1991) and did not feel I needed to own the prior releases (although I really wanted the songs, Shopping & Two Divided By Zero). I have been hesitating picking up the Further Listening versions, but they seem to be out of print. So, I picked up PopArt, and since that covers albums up through 2003, I may pick up Fundamental again. However, if I could only own one...I think I would try to get the Further Listening of Very. If two, Bilingual as well. If there is one ever released for Release, that would be my third.
