The Curlie Howard re-edit of the Pet Shop Boys camp classic 'What have I done to deserve this?' revitalises this great recording and for me makes it seem as if it is fresh and new! I have always loved this track and it introduced me back in 1987 to the fabulous Dusty Springfield.

The song was issued in late 1987 and despite being a huge global hit, was only a minor one in Australia (#22), but it resonated for me at that time and has remained something of an anthem, especially with life's bumps and bruises. My recent obsession with Dusty has given me even more insight and appreciation of the musical forces that came before....as pop music began in 1974 for me, so the ongoing education has been to discover and unearth the pioneers and the original versions of the pop classics that have been covered time and time again.

The marriage of Pet Shop Boys and Dusty Springfield was a stroke of genius and it changed all their lives and careers. So sad that Dusty only had 8 more years of recording after this single, but she did re-team with Chris and Neil two years later on the theme from the movie 'Scandal'. But 'What have I done to deserve this' was indeed like lightning in a bottle!

Enjoy this vibey remix!
