> The October 17, 1994 issue of Consumable Online included a poll in which readers expressed their votes on which albums (or could-be compilations) should be available on compact disc. Three and a half years later, two of those wishes have come true. EMI/Capitol has released compilations for two bands with enormous cult followings: the Pet Shop Boys and Duran Duran.
The Pet Shop Boys' Essential includes 6 songs previously unavailable on commercial CD, including the original U.K. 7" version of "Opportunities"; the Duran Duran collection includes 11 remixes of their hits, including several from the rare Carnival E.P.
