Well, as you can see, I have everything orange, orange, orange, orange! he left! When Very Relentless originally came out I already had Very, did the other one see? the one with the cover that is not transparent, which is all orange and when this came out I was working in a record store and I was lucky enough to buy it at cost because it cost a lot and then I found out that a vinyl had been released with 500 copies worldwide but no I couldn't even buy it, it cost a lot of money... So it always s
eemed to me that Relentless came 100% from Chris's mind, not and then I found out over time that obviously all the songs are listed as Lowe / Tennant instead of Tennant / Lowe because They are composed 100% by Chris, which always seemed to me that they sound dirty like it was straight from the demo to the CD, there was no production like the production of an album itself because if you think about what Very sounds like, it sounds great and Suddenly the Relentless album doesn't sound so good so t
his is basically the edition that you already know and the one that came out now is this one, I don't know if I like the cover, it serves its purpose, doesn't it? and the vinyl is solid yellow, I thought it was going to be transparent yellow, I don't know why... so I'm going to tell you, the vinyl sounds good but it's nothing special, that is, there is no mastering whatsoever, it is not mastering 2023 It sounds the same as what it sounded like later, you have the CD and you have the digital edit
ion, both the CD and the digital edition are the same, whatever you buy , they are going to sound the same to me, which caught my attention that the original version sounded like -6db sounded low but good, the new edition was raised 1db but it sounds opaque compared to the original edition so, Wow, don't you have the original Masters of this? what's up? where did they get it from? What, did you grab the CD from here, did you rip it on a computer, did you increase the volume by 1 dB and put it on
another CD? Wow No, if there is one thing that is a missed opportunity, it is mastering Relentless, my favorite song here is "One thing leads to another" and Neil's voice sounds bright and perfect and the rest of the music sounds like a ball of noise, terribly compressed sounds, it would have been time to master everything, to remix it and yet they took this CD and put it on a new CD so I'm telling you what you're going to stick to, before I leave I'm going to show you two more things why I thi
nk they are nice to show, the first is Actually, which is an edition that comes along with Always On My Mind, which I think is a nice edition, right? It seemed something out of the ordinary to me, so when you take it out from the inside it obviously comes with the black album, nothing special, and Always On My Mind comes too, nothing special but I loved the pack format itself and another thing that I'm going to show you that I had thought about making a whole video but it makes me so angry that
I'm not even going to do it, it's Behavior, the Argentine edition, it's recorded with a bugle and a nail, I don't know why they do such bad things... the vinyl feels a 180 gr but it's a 180 gr I don't know... And it comes with a book that is practically the only thing that's worth about this . I, of these people who do this, bought this one and I bought the one by Duran Duran (Notorious) the one by Duran Duran I gave it away because I can't stand it, I can't stand how bad that sounds , although
this one doesn't sound as bad as that one, it sounds bad, it sounds bad, so if you're going to edit things like that, why don't you get a little smarter and stop making us stay like him... everywhere, that is, we are in 2023, I understand that you released albums that sounded like him... in 1975 and yet the albums from Argentina from 1975 sound perfect! So I don't understand, a Charly García album sounds better than this... but I wanted to give you a little insight into this and I'll tell you ri
ght now, if you buy it on vinyl for the collection, it's worth it again, I love it. I have this vinyl in my collection but the CD and the digital one are exactly the same, let's say that's what it is... I tell you that I opened a page on "Buy me a coffee", "Buy me a coffee" is a page where you You can donate things, you can donate money or whatever you want, you can send me private messages, you can communicate with me, please what do I do this? because I am not monetizing either the videos or t
he channel so all this comes out of my pocket, what you are seeing and it would be good to receive some help if you want, if the material I make seems good enough to you To help me, since there is no subscription there is no number either, you can send whatever you want, I know that Latin America is hard and here it is also very hard whether you believe it or not and I am buying much more than I should so I am going to leave you the link so you can buy the Relentless in the description and see y
ou next week !!!!

El track 2 del side two es un temazooo para mi gusto 👌

@davidaguilarmarchante2823

Yo lo he encargado y mañana me llegará a casa. Pet Shop Boys son la banda sonora de mi vida pero, aunque hasta incluso modere una página del dúo en Facebook, intento ser lo más objetivo posible (recientemente Disco 2 cumplió 19 años y puse el álbum de vuelta y media por ser totalmente imposible). Escucharé la calidad del sonido y te comentaré mis impresiones. Es una pena lo que comentas. Muchísimas gracias por hablarnos de nuestros PSB. Saludos desde Cádiz.

@SolemAris

Pues Costa Rica presente con una de esas 500 copias, y hace años pagué 50 dólares por el Very Relentless cd edición especial 😢😅, valió la pena totalmente. Y ahora ya compré el bundle del Relentless para completar la colección.

@damianjlandaburo5939

Si no recuerdo mal, salio una edicion limitadisima de Relentless en vinilos transparentes, creo que solo 10 unidades, voy a chequear por que no estoy 100 % seguro, pero creo algo de eso hubo, los vinilos de colores estan en mi lista deseos jajajaja, aunque mi bolsillo esta lejos de ahi....

@damianjlandaburo5939

Huf, el de DD lo compre pero aun no lo escuche...........

@el_lean

Buenas , que edicion de rio de duran recomendarias en vinilo? Y de beheviuor?

@carlosalenduran4630

Like like the first president of the 80s there's nothing close similar to that perfect sound I think what has happened is that all the good DJs in production and music engineer have passed away and not nowadays the new ones they don't know that's my opinion but I do have the pet shop boys behavior on vinyl and it's made in England on emi any sounds amazing but of course it's the first pressing

@sebastianmalagrino1105

Tengo el mismo Cd de Relentless con el mismo formato plastico Very-Relentless. Me gustaba hasta ahi, y la verdad, no me dan ganas de comprar el Vinilo. El de Actually es muy buena la idea, Always on my Mind le faltaba a Actually para ser perfecto. Compré Notorious y lo escuché una vez, la verdad, está muy abajo de mis preferencias ese album de DD. No sabía que habian editado también Behaviour en Colecciones La Nacion. El de Rio de dos LP Rojo no lo compraste?

@enjoythemusic9679

Hola!..aùn lo tengo el Very en vinilo...recuerdo que lo comprè aca en Montevideo, en el mismo año que saliò, y era fabricado en Brasil...la verdad que nunca me gustò su sonido!

@DEJAVUCRISTIAN

Yo tengo el Relentless 1993 y 2023 , y si , suena más fuerte , pero hay diferencias yo sentí un poco más de brillo en la versión nueva , y la gracia de ese álbum es eso , lo sucio que suena , pudieron mejóralo ? Obviamente, pero es como tomar un clásico y aplicarle todo lo nuevo que hay incluido AI. Pero quitas magia 🪄 y eso es lo que me gusta , el Vinilo , no lo tengo , tengo el Relentless Amarillo, ese me llegó en CD 💿 , esa es mi humilde opinión 😊

@leandrogarcia883

Seguro agregan el libro porque saben que el vinilo es una porquería (no lo terminé de leer pero está bastante bien, decente)

@YowY74

Muchisísimas gracias por estas reviews. Coincidimos en la crítica sonora. Estoy harto de solo oir regalos incondicionales por parte de fans a sus ediciones. Esas críticas con aurea endiosada porque los consideran por defecto semidioses y es pecado criticarlos. A veces me he sentido a un paso de la hoguera como hereje por criticar algo de ellos. Tienes toda la razón y más. La edición argentina de Behaviour, que desde España me costó un quinario conseguirla, solo interesa por el libreto, el sonido pésimo. No entiendo este siglo XXI y esta fiebre mercantil de las discográficas por editar refritos de colores que en su mayoría de casos son sacrilegios sonoros o simplemente lo mismo de siempre desaprovechando la tecnología o en su caso aplicada por monos de feria. Gracias

@mabarrigah

Hola!, No me gusto la presentacion que le hicieron a Relentless, esparaba más por los 30 años...un digipack con libro, fotos, etc y sobre todo haber conservado la portada original. Encuentro que el CD lo colocaron al mismo nivel que los CDs que vienen en las revistas. Me quedo con la versión original del 93 del CD y vinilo, aparte este ultimo era triple, un tema por lado.......sorry pero voy a presumir; yo tengo una de esas 500 copias 🤣. Saludos ✌
