Opportunities (Let's make lots of money) - Pet Shop Boys

The Pet Shop Boys have been around for forty years now and they have been able to create great music consistently. The early beginnings weren't easy, with a few Bobby Orlando-produced tracks and singles that didn't end up high in the charts. One of those early singles was 'Opportunities', released by EMI to muted response. It was only when they released their next single, 'West End Girls', that their career took off.

This 12" single has, therefore, become a bit of a collector's item. It features two remixes by the Latin Rascals. The dub mix on the B-side of this disc has never been released on CD, and so it was worth getting this disc just for that track alone - although the A-side remix slightly differs from the one on the album Disco as well!

My collection: 12" single [unnumbered]
Found: Record fair, Den Bosch, 13 April 2024
Tracks: 'Opportunities (Let's make lots of money) (Version Latina)' / 'Opportunities (Let's make lots of money) (dub for money)', 'In the night'
