Yehuda Poliker (album 2- update) - Day dreamer



After many many years waiting for this, I have finally bought, received and listened to Yehuda Poliker's second solo album. 

It was released in 1986, like I mentioned, and was very difficult to find.

I was a bit surprised to hear that the album was actually recorded live - which wasn't announced anywhere on his website, nor wikipedia. The liner notes, however, do specify this detail. 


All 12 songs have Greek melodies, several instrumental pieces and Lyrics are either in Greek or translated from it in.

Pet Shop Boys (part 1B) - Disco



The PSB's Disco isn't considered a studio album per se, because it's rather a collection of remixes from their first album, Please.

Disco was released on 17 November 1986 - 8 months after Please. All it's tracks were recorded in 1985-86 and are remixes of songs which appeared in Please (4 from the album, 2 from b-sides). 


They are all extended and offer a glimpse to the more techno-y sounds that the band will release later on (especially Relentless, which is a bonus CD on one of Very's edition, more on that in due time).

Pet Shop Boys (album 1) - Please

The Pet Shop Boys's first album was recorded in 1984-85 and released on 24th of March 1986. It includes their first 4 hits:

  • West end girls 
  • Opportunities (let's make lots of money) 
  • Love comes quickly 
  • Suburbia
