The sleeve of Actually shows Neil Tennant yawning in black tie, and that dry joke suits the second Pet Shop Boys studio album. "It's a Sin" became their second UK number one, "What Have I Done to Deserve This?" is a duet with Dusty Springfield that reached number two in both the UK and the United States, and "Rent" and "Heart" followed as singles. The lyrics deal with money, class and London in the Thatcher years. The album was originally released in 1987.

This edition is an LP.
