Very

Very is the title of the Pet Shop Boys sixth studio album released on 27 September 1993. It came almost three years after the duo's previous studio album, Behaviour, although in the meantime they had released their first compilation album Discography: The Complete Singles Collection (1991).

Very was the duo's first no.1 album, going straight to the top of the UK charts on 03 October 1993. It was preceded by the lead single Can You Forgive Her? which had been released in June, reaching no.7 in the UK. A cover version of the Village People's Go West was also released shortly before Very, reaching no.2 in th UK, and then featured as the album's closing track. Further tracks from the album were later released as singles.

Very was produced by Pet Shop Boys, Stephen Hague, Brothers In Rhythm
