''Disco'' is the second album by the British synthpop duo Pet Shop Boys. It was released by Parlophone on . ''Disco'' was not an original studio album, but rather a collection of remixes of tracks from their first album, ''Please'', and its respective B-sides. Many fans of 1980s synthpop view the mixes on this album as some of the best examples of the ''extended dance mix'', and this album includes remixes by Arthur Baker, Shep Pettibone and Pet Shop Boys themselves. ==Background== It is difficult to say where the Pet Shop Boys saw this album fitting in among their other albums when they released it. In 2001, when they re-released what they deemed their first six albums, ''Disco'' was not included. In addition, Pet Shop Boys would later release the remix albums ''Disco 2'', ''Disco 3'' and ''Disco 4'', although the concepts of these compilations differ greatly from the original ''Disco'' album: ''Disco 2'' is a continuous mega-mix of dance remixes, ''Disco 3'' is a mixture of remixes and new songs and ''Disco 4'' consists exclusively of tracks remixed by the Pet Shop Boys, mainly by other artists. The sleeve cover is a still of Chris Lowe from the promo video of "Paninaro" directed by the Pet Shop Boys themselves. The ''Disco'' mixes of "Suburbia" and "Paninaro" can also be found on the "Suburbia" 12" and the 2001 two-disc re-release of ''Please''. 7" versions of both mixes of these songs were used for the "Suburbia" single release. The original version of "In the Night" was the B-side to the original release of "Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)". Arthur Baker's Extended Mix of "In the Night" was used as the theme for the BBC's ''The Clothes Show''. In the mid-1990s, the Pet Shop Boys remixed "In the Night" again in a then-contemporary style so that the programme would continue to use the theme. This version, known as "In the Night 1995", was released as a B-side to the 1996 single "Before" and was then collected on the 2001 two-disc re-release of ''Bilingual''. American music reviewer Robert Christgau referred to Shep Pettibone (who mixed Pet Shop Boys's biggest hit, "West End Girls") as 'Pet Sheppibone' in his review. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Disco (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
