West End Girls

West End Girls is the title of a song recorded by British synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys. It was initially released as their debut single in 1984 although failed to become a hit. The track was later re-recorded and re-released on 28 October 1985 and went on to become the group's breakthrough single and first UK no.1. It was later included on the group's debut album Please (1986).

West End Girls remains one of the duo's best-known songs.
