The 1993 album ‘Very' was a number one record for Pet Shop Boys in the UK, Germany, Sweden and Switzerland, and has to date sold in excess of five million copies worldwide. It contains five singles, including their cover of ‘Go West' - a number two hit for PSB - and lead single ‘Can you forgive her?'

Stylistically, ‘Very' could be said to serve as an antithesis to ‘Behaviour', insofar as the production and lyrical themes are generally more upbeat than those of the previous album. Visually, too, PSB reinvented their image to incorporate more vivid colours and brightness, including Very's now-iconic "Lego" album cover and the ‘pointy hats' worn by Chris and Neil. The album is also the first to be produced almost entirely by Pet Shop Boys themselves - with additional production and mix courtesy of Stephen Hague. This ‘Catalogue' issue of ‘Very' includes a Further listening disc of bonus material, such as the previously-unreleased tracks ‘Falling' (a demo for Kylie Minogue), and a 1992 twelve-inch mix of ‘Go West'.
