ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON 'TOTALLY'

Pet Shop Boys 'Totally' - it could be an official album title in its own right, fitting as it does with all their previously titled releases. This time, however, the name was reserved for a unique Japanese-only promotional compilation. 1988 was the first time the Japanese had produced a promo-only CD for the Pet Shop Boys, having previously created the superb 1997 'Now Playing' vinyl LP, which compiled tracks from Please and Actually.

The sleeve gives the game away as to why they made 'Totally'. It features the Mark Farrow designed Introspective artwork, but monochromatically. In other words it's black and white - well, actually it's varying tones of grey, with a large black & white 'PET SHOP BOYS Totally' title emblazoned across the sleeve, front and centre! The back insert is pretty functional, displaying the track listing and times, with all other relevant information printed in Japanese. Typically for a Japanese insert the track listing features one small error; Opportunities is listed as Opprtunities.

Not only is this their first Japanese promo CD, it's also their rarest. Many fan sites report that there were only 35 copies of this little gem made - and being over 18 years old it means there aren't many to go around amongst the tens of thousands of die-hard PSB collectors. We have no confirmation either way on the actual quantity produced, but we rarely find them for sale - the only CD that's genuinely rarer than this is the 'PSB Compiled' Radio 1 competition prize Abbey Road CD-R; there are just 20 of those.

So, this CD is legendary. Even if it's not top of your personal Wants list, it's usually top of most discographies for rarity and desirability, and it paved the way for the subsequent Japanese promo-only collectables. Their other titles, In Depth, Sales Sampler, Promotion, Special '96 and Special '99 are all fantastic titles but this one best captures the spirit of Neil & Chris's unique titling sequence. Do you need to have this in your collection? …Totally!
