Information AboutActually |
''Actually'' is the third Album , the second of entirely new music, by the UK Electronic Music group Pet Shop Boys . It was first released in 1987 . ''Actually'' is not much different from Pet Shop Boys' first album, '' Please '' in terms of musical style, but the production quality is noticeably better. ''Actually'' housed four singles, including lead-off single "It's a Sin" and "What Have I Done to Deserve This?", a duet with fellow Parlophone artist Dusty Springfield . The latter led directly to a major resurgence of interest in Springfield's earlier work. The duo scored another Number One in April 1988 with a remixed version of the album's last single, "Heart". During this period, the Pet Shop Boys also completed a full-length motion picture called '' It Couldn't Happen Here ''. Featuring songs from the duo, it was most famous for housing the video for "Always On My Mind" (starring Joss Ackland as a blind priest), which - while not on ''Actually'' - was released as a single during this period. ''Actually'' was rereleased in 2001 (as were most of the group's albums up to that point) as ''Actually/Further Listening 1987-1988''. The rereleased version was not only digitally remastered but came with a second disc of B-side s, remixes done by the Pet Shop Boys and previously unreleased material from around the time of the album's original release.
