Album Introduction
Disco is the first remix album by Pet Shop Boys — Neil Tennant (vocals, from North Shields, Tyne and Wear) and Chris Lowe (keyboards, from Blackpool, Lancashire) — released in 1986 on Parlophone Records. The album reached No. 13 on the UK Albums Chart. Unlike a conventional studio album, Disco consists of six extended remixes of tracks from the duo's debut Please (1986) and related singles, giving the album a deliberately dance-floor-oriented character that demonstrates the duo's deep engagement with club culture. The remixers include Arthur Baker (In the Night), Julian Mendelssohn (Suburbia), Shep Pettibone (Love Comes Quickly and West End Girls), Ron Dean Miller and The Latin Rascals (Opportunities) and the duo themselves with David Jacob (Paninaro). West End Girls — the original version of which reached UK No. 1 and US No. 1 in 1985–1986 — appears here in a nine-minute Pettibone remix. Suburbia reached UK No. 8 in its original form. Paninaro — originally a B-side — was given a full eight-minute remix treatment and became a fan favourite.
Stand-Out Tracks
- West End Girls (Shep Pettibone Remix) — The duo's signature single in a nine-minute extended dance mix; Pettibone's production gives the song a sustained, dance-floor-oriented energy that transforms the familiar original into something entirely new and demonstrates the duo's ability to inhabit the club culture that influenced their sound.
- Suburbia (Julian Mendelssohn Mix) — Nearly nine minutes of one of the duo's most atmospherically distinctive early singles; Mendelssohn's production gives the song a warm, expansive quality that suits Tennant's completely assured vocal and the song's lyric of suburban alienation.
- Paninaro (Pet Shop Boys & David Jacob Remix) — Originally a B-side, given a full eight-minute remix treatment by the duo themselves; a driving, electronic dance track that demonstrates Lowe's keyboard work at its most expansive and became one of the most enduring fan favourites in the Pet Shop Boys catalogue.
- In the Night (Arthur Baker Remix) — Baker's production gives the song a New York-influenced dance energy; its combination of a driving, electronic production and Tennant's completely assured vocal gives it a sustained commercial appeal that demonstrates the duo's ability to bridge British synth-pop and American club culture.
- Love Comes Quickly (Shep Pettibone Remix) — The original reached UK No. 19; Pettibone's seven-minute remix gives the song a warm, dance-floor-oriented energy that transforms the intimate original into something more expansive and sonically adventurous.
