Details: Product description 1987 album ft 'It's A Sin' & 'What Have I Done To Deserve This?'. Amazon.ca When they released Actually, their second proper album, in 1987, the Pet Shop Boys proved they were no flash-in-the-pan pop sensation. Neil Tennant wrote about disaffected consumerism ("Rent", "Shopping") with the wry insight only the former editor of a teen-pop magazine could have. Often accused of being emotionally bankrupt by their critics, Tennant and his partner, keyboardist Chris Lowe, effortlessly proved them wrong, camouflaging clever commentary ("It's a Sin") behind deadpan attitude and catchy dance music. The jewel in Actually's crown is probably "What Have I Done to Deserve This?", a classic hit for which Lowe and Tennant coaxed 60s pop icon Dusty Springfield out of semi-retirement. Actually has aged better than anybody--including perhaps the Pet Shop Boys themselves--could have expected. -- Elizabeth Vincentelli
