Introspective

Introspective is the third studio album by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys, released on 10 October 1988 by Parlophone.

Tracks released as singles like "Always on My Mind" and "Domino Dancing" had been issued as shorter, more radio-friendly mixes prior to the album.

The re-released version was digitally remastered and came with a second disc of B-sides and previously unreleased material from around the time of the album's original release.

Neil Tennant, in a speech he gave to the Oxford Union, said he regretted releasing Introspective so soon after Actually as he felt the 12-inch nature of the songs may have put some fans off the band and this probably impacted on the sales of Behaviour, the subsequent album critically regarded as the Pet Shop Boys' finest album[citation needed] but commercially one of their least successful.

[citation needed] Nevertheless, Introspective remains, according to Tennant, the best-selling Pet Shop Boys album internationally.
