One more chance (new remix 86) - Pet Shop Boys

I can't imagine that the Pet Shop Boys were very happy with this single release. ZYX Records released this 1986 remix of 'One more chance' after they switched record labels, moved to Parlophone Records and released a couple of successful albums. This remix was based on the original version of 'One more chance', which the Pet Shop Boys recorded with New York producer Bobby Orlando in 1984.

'One more chance' was based on an unused backing track Bobby Orlando had recorded for the actor/singer Divine, provisionally titled 'Rock me'. Neil Tennant then wrote a lyric for the song while in Broadway, exploring themes of masochism and 'romantic paranoia'. This remix single did not become a hit but I presume it's quite rare.

My collection: 7" single no. 2641
Found: May 12, 1996
Cost: 5 guilders
Tracks: 'One more chance (Hurricane remix by Tess)' / 'Theme for the Pet Shop Boys (part 2)'
