I had this album "Opportunities" and other PSB albums on cassette tape. I listened to it on my walkman and boom box. I've been a massive PSB fan since the early 80's. Believe it or not, PSB once opened for Depeche Mode. The 80's was absolutely glorious. I'm so very grateful to have been a teen in the 80's. Thank you.

@@yankeedave - Class of '86 here too! The best decade for movies, music, and TV shows (well tied for the 70s since I'm old enough to appreciate the entertainment of that decade too). Today is all unoriginal mindless mush in all three. Or at best retreads. I remember when Elton John was asked on a late night talk show in the late 1990s by one of the big three late night hosts I can't remember which - he was asked when he wrote the song theme for the 1994 movie Lion King what he thought about the music of that 90s decade's music. He essentially said people had run out of original writing talent. He was so right over 20 years ago. Notice the increase in popularity of company marketing teams using classic songs in their ads - specifically around the Big 80s! Nobody can write melodies anymore. Elton saw it coming too. We now have an entire generation who grew up with simpleton thinking computers doing their "music" for them and they couldn't write a melody on sheet paper if their lives depended on it. Hell most probably couldn't even read a basic piano lesson sheet and play it.

Each decade had unique and distinct music that I absolutely bonded with. This song is full of everything that was the 80s. I became a guy in the 90s, a man in the 2000s, and now I’m just an old guy with lots of great memories. One of the things about music, is they are tied to certain memories, and that’s just fantastic. I get a kick out of hearing a song and a certain someone, something, or whatever comes to mind.

I lived it poor and in a flat in North London in the late 80s early 80s I left I went to a place with sun. I worked hard for a place with opportunities, I didn’t doubt myself I didn’t expect anyone to pull me up Thank you Pet Shop Boys this song empowered me to keep going forward and not look at handouts and negativity. Today I am six years old. I’m financially comfortable I live in the Sunbelt thank you for opportunities.

I was born in 1981 and I remember when this was played here on German radio back in 1986, when PSB were really getting big at the time. I was still in kindergarten, couldn’t understand or speak English at the time, but they were basically everywhere. “West End Girls“ was a gigantic breakthrough hit, then iconic songs like this one and “Suburbia“ (which charted much higher here in Germany than in the UK) followed. The rest is history. I absolutely love them.

There were some very impressive Video Editing machines since at least the 70s but the 80s really are the time where there was a sudden explosion of possibilities. Especially with such tools like the Fairlight CVI. And even for smaller budgets there were things like the Video Toaster for Commodore Amiga computers. All you needed were a few Videotape machines for the source video and a recording deck for the mixed video. Who knows how many layers they had to record and then use again to create even more parallax layers. Max Headroom was another good example of 80s Video editing technology with minimal or no CGI at all being used.
