Ich habe definitiv ein Sehproblem und das obwohl ich noch nicht alt bin…<br><br>Gerade wollte ich mal schauen, wie WEST END GIRLS der erste Hit der Band hier so bewertet wird<br><br>und was sehe ich da? Null Bewertungen ! Drei Sekunden lang dachte ich, dass die letzten 25 Jahre meines Lebens nur ein Traum waren und die Band nie den Durchbruch erlebt hat… haha bis ich sah ORIGINAL 1984<br><br>Was keine Bewertung der gefloppten Single von 1984 ? :-))<br><br>Diese Version war bis vor einigen bis die Further Listening erschien kaum einem bekannt<br><br>er wurde zwar in einigen Ländern im Radio gespielt, doch wirklicher Verkaufshit war er nicht.<br><br>Erst 1985 sollte sich dies ändern<br><br>Schon krass, hätten die Boys damals aufgegeben, so hätten sie nie die Hits gehabt, die sie vorzuweisen haben

Kult-Single (hatte ich in den letzten 10 Jahren schon mindestens 2,3 Mal reviewt!).
****
Originalversion, des in den USA charttechnisch erfolgreichsten Hit.<br><br>Finde es ein wenig zu monoton....<br><br>Und die Originalversion, gab es übrigens glaube ich noch nicht früher zu bewerten, soviel ich weiss

...gut...<br>richtig FCB 39, aber remember hat schon oft solches behauptet ;-)
******
Auch im tausendsten Remix immer noch ein unsterblicher Klassiker.
****
Ist gut. Hier fehlt aber die Coolness der Chartssingle
*****
Nice!
****
Klingt nicht so ausgereift wie die Hit-Version.
*****
Siehe meine Rezi zur 1985er Version ;)
****
Besser als die nachgeschobene Version. Hier ist mehr Eurodance incl.
***
...finde ich wiederum nicht.<br>gut, dass die da noch nachgbessert haben,<br>diese version ist viel zu viel 80's...<br>die synthies sind echt nicht mein fall.
***
auch mein Fall ist dieser Song nicht
******
nooit geweten dat ik al een eeuwigheid naar de 12" maxi, extended versie zit te luisteren van Bobbie "O", Orlando. Deze bewerking is versneld gedraaid en langer uiteraard, maar ik vroeg me al jaren en jaren af hoe die Neil Tennant zo snel kon praten... haha. de oorspronkelijke 12 inch mix heb ik acht jaar geleden voor het laatst gezien voor 30 EURO nu is er al helemaal niet meer aan te komen. De versie werd in 1985 omgebouwd, de helft van de tekst eruit gesloopt en een trompet aan toegevoegd en werd toen wél een grote hit + het bestaan van de pet shop boys. Ik vind beide versies en zowel de 1984 radio edit en 12" maxi extended geniaal!! bedankt Bobby!!!!
*****
super
*****
Prima hoor
****
Definitiv sogar wesentlich schwächer als die Version die dann ein Jahr später Stephen Hague produzierte. Wäre in dieser Form niemals ein Hit geworden, da fehlt so einiges. 3-4
***
im Original noch deutlich schlechter, als im neuen Soundgewand ein Jahr später.
