Alternative
On August 7, 1995 an album of Pet Shop Boys B-sides was released. It is called "Alternative" (a last minute change from the title which had always been saved for this record: Besides). It contains thirty songs in chronological order from "In The Night" to "Some Speculation", and the first copies of the CD and album have a hologram on the cover which shifts between two photographs, one of Neil, one of Chris, both in fencing masks. "They're some of our favourite songs," Neil explains, "and it just seemed like a nice idea to have them in one place."
In the night
A man could get arrested
That's my impression
Was that what it was?
Paninaro
Jack the lad
You know where you went wrong
A new life
I want a dog
Do I have to?
I get excited (you get excited too)
Don Juan
The sound of the atom splitting
One of the crowd
Your funny uncle
It must be obvious
We all feel better in the dark
Bet she's not your girlfriend
Losing my mind
Music for boys
Miserablism
Hey, Headmaster
What keeps mankind alive?
Shameless
Too many people
Violence (Hacienda version)
Decadence
If Love Were All
Euroboy
Some speculation
