Merging Glasgow’s post-punk energy with polished international production, Hipsway’s 1986 self-titled debut established them as masters of rhythmic pop-rock, anchored by Grahame Skinner’s soulful baritone and the infectious, guitar-driven groove of their signature hit “The Honeythief.”

Released on 17 November 1986, Disco is the first remix album by Pet Shop Boys, serving as a high-energy bridge between their debut, Please, and their follow-up, Actually.

Released on 22nd October 1988, Introspective remains one of the most unconventional and daring releases in the Pet Shop Boys’ discography. Following the massive pop success of their second album, Actually.

Formed on the Isle of Wight in 1979, Level 42 is a British jazz-funk and pop-rock powerhouse fronted by Mark King, celebrated for their world-class “slap bass” grooves and sleek 80s synth-pop hits.

Born out of Glasgow’s vibrant 1980s music scene, Hipsway combined Grahame Skinner’s deep, cinematic baritone with funk-inflected guitar work to create a sophisticated brand of soulful pop, best epitomised by their international hit “The Honeythief.”

Released on 24th March 1986, Please serves as the definitive introduction to Pet Shop Boys, the duo consisting of Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe.
