Actually also contains 'Hit Music', which is probably one of the only "imperial phase" PSB tracks that I actively loathe.

It's the only song from this period that's HEY WE'RE THE PET SHOP BOYS LET'S WRITE TO CHARACTER

xp - Yeah, also the Please/Actually-era B-sides is yet more proof of how on fire they were during this period.
I like plenty of later era PSB songs, but had they stopped at Actually (OK, let's say Introspective), their status of legends would stay intact in my book.

1986 to 1994 is a good run imo

xp -I am aware that, for me, part of the appeal of these to albums is the mid-80s sound, which I've always been partial to, above any other era.

'Hit Music' feels like more of a B-side than the B-sides of the period.
