Pet Shop Boys – Nightlife

ABSOLUTELY outstanding pressing. No idea what anyone else is listening to but the pressing I'm listening to sounds fantastic.

Following the weak Bilingual, Nightlife was the straw that broke the camel's back in of fame and fortune for Pet Shop Boys. The success of Very (1993, and the albums preceeding it), would not be repeated ever again.
Nightlife is not particularly bad, but it doesn't have any songs worthy of being singles, despite three being purposed as such, with 'You Only Tell Me You Love Me When You're Drunk' being the best.
Even with Further Listening consisting of three discs, the only additional song of note is their only Christmas song, 'It Doesn't Often Snow At Christmas' (Fan Club Mix, which is the better version, as the 'New Version' included noticeably tacked on elements).
2/5 - at least relative to Behaviour (1990).

Canadian release does not have a hologram sticker on the case.

Watch out for all the scammers selling reissue as a first pressing....

Unfortunately, I cannot share other people‘s enthusiasm on this reissue at all. Although I am not able to compare it with an initial pressing I think that this remaster is very loud with very poor dynamics. This is another great example for a loudness victim. Transparency is missing and the bass is just loud and muddy, far from being clean and precise. Pressing quality isn’t flawless as well, surface noise is evident even after professional cleaning. Only highlight for me is the packaging quality. Wouldn’t buy this again.

11 October 1999 was a Monday. Album were released on Mondays for many years continuing way past 1999. I checked this as above states released 08 October 1999 in the UK. My promo copy also states 'RELEASED 11TH OCTOBER' via a sticker Helena McGeough, Promotions. With a UK mobile number and a Parlophone sign and lettering

Absolutely superb pressing and mastering of this reissue. The Bass is taught and the vocals are super clean and clear.

What a glorious record! I loved it when it came out, more than 20 years ago, I've held on to my original CD, which features a thick, glossy booklet, and now this pressing is absolutely top-notch. Wonderful!
"In denial" is a duet with Kylie Minogue, yes, it clearly says so in the album sleeve.

Impressed by both the sound quality and the glossy packaging.

Songs I like: For Your Own Good (only due to Rollo's production). In Denial (beautiful).
I know it's subjective, but I was very surprised by not liking anything else on this much. I didn't find it as terrible as others here, but it was all just.... uninteresting for me.
