Burning The Ground Exclusive 1987

“Rent” is a song by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys from their second studio album, Actually (1987). It was released as the album’s third single on 12 October 1987 worldwide except for North America where it was included on certain editions of “Pet Shop Boys With Dusty Springfield – What Have I Done To Deserve This?”, usually as a B-side, but effectively as a double-A-side on one or two U.S. pressings.

It peaked at number 8 in the British charts. Producer Stephen Hague remixed the song for single release.
