Very is the fifth studio album by English electronic duo Pet Shop Boys. It was released in September 1993, after nearly two and a half years from the duo's previous studio album, Behaviour, and the compilation album Discography: The Complete Singles Collection.

Please is the first album by English electronic music group Pet Shop Boys, released in 1986. According to the duo, the album's title was chosen so that people had to go into a record shop and say "Can I have the Pet Shop Boys album, 'Please'?". The album has sold around 3 million copies worldwide to date.

It was an attempt to showcase their recent remixes and possibly recreate some of the critical success of the earlier remix collection Disco, however Disco 2 is one of the Pet Shop Boys' most poorly received albums by critics and fans. The tracks on the CD were mixed into one long continuous megamix by DJ Danny Rampling. As a result, most of the tracks are in edited versions, having been cut off mid-way through in a crossfade into the following tracks (as a DJ might do while mixing music live). Some of the tracks were reduced by more than half of their original lengths in this way. In addition, some tracks were sped up or slowed down, in order to match the overall tempo of the mix.

Am 4. März 1970 kam ein Lied in die deutsche Hitparade, das bis auf Platz 1 empor schnellen und zum Bestseller des Jahres werden sollte: "Du" von Peter Maffay. Damit begann die steile Karriere des kleinen Sängers und Gitarristen aus dem rumänischen Kronstadt. Eine Karriere, die bis heute weitergeht. Früher war Peter Maffay als Schnulzensänger abgestempelt, bis er 1979 mit dem Album Steppenwolf zeigte, wo künftig sein Rock-Weg hinführen würde. Dass er inzwischen mit Kindermusicals wie Tabaluga Edelmetallauszeichnungen einheimst, dass er mit Musikern aus aller Welt Ethnopop und Multikulti-Rock einspielt, tut seinem inzwischen gefestigten Image als deutscher Super-Rockstar keinen Abbruch, im Gegenteil.

Pentangle (or The Pentangle) are a British folk-jazz band with an eclectic mix of folk, jazz, blues and folk rock influences. The original band was active in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and a later version has been active since the early 1980s. The original line-up, which was unchanged throughout the band's first incarnation (1967–1973), was: Jacqui McShee, vocals; John Renbourn, vocals and guitar; Bert Jansch, vocals and guitar; Danny Thompson, double bass; and Terry Cox, drums.
The name Pentangle was chosen to represent the five members of the band, and is also the device on Sir Gawain's shield in the Middle English poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight which held a fascination for Renbourn.
In 2007, the original members of the band were reunited to receive a Lifetime Achievement award at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and to record a short concert that was broadcast on BBC radio. In June 2008, the band, comprising all five original members, embarked on a twelve-date UK tour.

At its peak, it also charted at number five on Billboard's "Top World Music Albums" chart.

The music and lyrics will touch your heart no matter your age or gender.
