Pet Shop Boys - Alternative 2CD
Termék leírás:
Az Alternative a Pet Shop Boys kilencedik albuma, második válogatásalbuma. Megjelent 1995. augusztus 7-én.
Az "Alternative" elsősorban dupla CD formátumban jelent meg és a duó 29 b-oldalas és egy újraértelmezett korábbi album ["Violence" (Hacienda version)] felvételét tartalmazza időrendi sorrendben. Az "Alternative" címet az utolsó pillanatban kapta, az erre a célra régóta tartogatott "Besides" helyett, mivel ezen a néven két hónappal korábban jelent meg az angol Sugar rockegyüttes hasonló című és tartalmú nagylemeze.
Az albumborítón a tagok vívómaszkos fotója látható. Az limitált kiadások egy képes booklettel és díszdobozban jelentek meg aminek a borítóján egy hologram kép található, amely Neil és Chris vívómaszkos fotói között vált
További érdekesség, hogy az albumot Chris előző évben meghalt barátjának emlékére ajánlották ["Dedicated to Peter Andreas 1963-1994"].
