Playing with the Boys debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 on August 16, 1986 and peaked at the #60 position.

This song was also used for many scenes in the 1990 beach volleyball Side Out film featuring C. Thomas Howell, Peter Horton and Courtney Thorne-Smith.

Per Loggins’s memoir, the song was a hit among gay nightclubs. Spin magazine’s interviewer Jonathan Cohen called it “a sort of gay anthem”.

Pet Shop Boys – West End Girls ’86 (Germany 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1986

“West End Girls” was the first Pet Shop Boys song released on a label, and is arguably the song most commonly associated with the band.

The original version of the song was released in 1984 produced by famed Hi-NRG mogul Bobby Orlando, the single was released on his Bobcat Records label. It was not a huge hit in the Boys’ home country, but it did fairly well in the States and in Italy. Under the Bobby O umbrella, ‘West End Girls’ was remixed and repackaged several times, saturating the world’s record stores with multiple formats of this single.

In 1986 after the band signed with Parlophone Records the song was remixed, and titled “Remix ’86” this was to capitolize off of the re-recorded hit version that had been released in 1985.
