Pet Shop Boys - I Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind Of Thing (1994)

CD Single

Recently found this disc and figured since I liked the tune, I'd pick up the CD single used. If a little bit is good, more must be better, right? Normally, I'd say yes, but since I already have 3 of these IWDTKOT remixes elsewhere, it didn't turn out to be the most prudent purchase. Ah, well - there's still 4 tracks that are new to me.

Peak on the US Billboard Dance chart: #2

Billboard, January 22, 1994, p. 61

Tracks:

1. I Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind Of Thing (Album Version) - found on Very
2. I Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind Of Thing (Club Mix) 
3. I Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind Of Thing (Wild Pitch Mix) - found on Disco 2
4. I Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind Of Thing (Extended Nude Mix) - found on Disco 2
5. West End Girls (Sasha Mix)
6. Violence (Hacienda Version)
7. Too Many People

That's 7 tracks in 44 minutes - we certainly used to get bang for our buck with the early '90s CD singles. The best remix of IWNDTKOT is track 4, the Extended Nude Mix. The West End Girls remix is good, not great and the other two b-sides are pleasant enough - Violence is laid back while Too Many People is a full-on typical PSB dance track.

Personal Memory Associated with this CD: None, but my back and knees are telling me I shouldn't try the same dance moves I was doing back in '94.
