Information AboutVery (album) |
''Very'' is the seventh Album , the fifth of entirely new music, by the UK Electronic Music group Pet Shop Boys . It was first released in 1993 , going on to sell more than 4 million copies worldwide. ''Very'' exhibits one of many turning points Pet Shop Boys has made to their music, shifting from subdued electronic Pop of '' Behaviour '' with a move to more thoroughly instrumented over to top dance arrangements. The content and lyrics led to ''Very'' being called their "coming out album" since, despite widespread rumours almost a decade, it was during this time that Neil Tennant had publicly announced his Homosexuality . A limited edition of ''Very'' was also released in as a double album entitled, ''Very Relentless''. The second disc, ''Relentless'', was a six track dance album containing tracks that are more experimental and instrumental. There were plans to expand upon ''Relentless'' in 1994 by releasing the six tracks along with others making a full dance album, but this evolved into Disco 2 . The six tracks on ''Relentless'' have not been released elsewhere since (though the original version of ''Forever in love'' is found on ''Very/Further Listening 1992-1994'' as track 2). The original release of ''Very'' is packaged in a unique orange Jewel Case with raised bumps (sometimes unofficially described as the Lego case) designed by Daniel Weil of Pentagram in London. ''Very Relentless'' was similarly unique, with the two CDs housed in card sleeves (''Very'' in orange and ''Relentless'' in pink) with both of these housed in an outer rubber case with raised bumps. ''Very'' was rereleased in 2001 (as were most of the group's albums up to that point) as ''Very/Further Listening 1992-1994''. The rereleased version was not only digitally remastered but came with a second disc of B-side s and previously unreleased material from around the time of the album's original release.
