Pet Shop Boys CD becomes one of the most expensive ever sold on Discogs

A Pet Shop Boys CD from 2003 has become one of the most expensive ever sold on Discogs.

‘Pop Art: The Hits – 5 Songs From Our History’ was released via Parlophone solely in Japan two decades ago, and was limited to 25 copies.

The CD collates some of the band’s best and most-loved tracks from across their career, including ‘West End Girls’ and ‘Always On My Mind’.

A new list from Discogs compiling the 50 most expensive CDs to be sold on the popular resale site sees ‘Pop Art: The Hits – 5 Songs From Our History’ sitting at number nine with a huge sale value of $2309.15 (£1870).

The most expensive CD on the list is  ‘Falling Hearts’ by heavy metal band Runner, sold for $3,000 (£2,440), with Michael Jackson’s ‘Smile’, Eastside’s ‘The Battlefield’ and Pink Floyd’s ‘Wish You Were Here’.

Elsewhere, Pet Shop Boys recently announced new UK and European dates for the ‘Dreamworld: The Greatest Hits Live’ tour.
