Was it worth it - Pet Shop Boys

I have to say that I think the Pet Shop Boys were not particularly inspired when they recorded two new tracks for their 1992 compilation album 'Discography'. If 'DJ Culture' was a bit boring musically, 'Was it worth it' was uninspired both musically and lyrically.

As a result, it became the first single not to reach the UK top 20 since they signed to Parlophone records in 1984. This was the main reason why the song was not included on their later hits compilation 'PopArt'.

My collection: 7" single no. 1586
Found: Melody Maker, Den Haag, February 22, 1992
Cost: 3 guilders
Tracks: 'Was it worth it' / 'Miserablism'
