Yes, they really should have. It seems such a shame that Relentless remains such a hidden jewel, especially since their backcatalogue up until 97 has been recycled to death. It's bizarre that all the b-sides up until to that point are available on three official formats (the original single, Alternative, the album reissues), while the only way to get any of the tracks on Relentless is to try to purchase them second-hand.Zeus On The Loose wrote:It was a terribly obvious single and it would have been massive. They really should have re-released Relentless with Some Speculation, Euroboy and the Rollo mix of Absolutely Fabulous on and an edit of Forever In Love with both verses in and One Thing Leads To Another as singles, instead of Disco 2.
How Come "Relentless" is so good?!?

When asked, Neil said they considered tucking it on the Very re-issue but that would make it a triple CD which would have been excessive. I don't think they're keeping it obscure, they have simply not had the chance to reissue it.Dipso wrote:I think the Pets like the fact that Relentless is a bit obscure, don't they? They must have made a conscious decision not to re-release it when all the re-issues were put out in 2001.
Fab album though - it cannot be denied!
Does cameos only.
Reading through the posts quickly, I agree with strongly with one point raised, namely;
'One things leads to another' SHOULD have been a single. It would have been a hit, had they released it in 1994 prior to general release of a fleshed-out version of Relentless. As Neil stated in the Alternative sleeve notes.

I agree that OTLTA is quality.. I love the way that the lyrics are all backwards... I do think the chorus although catchy could be mistaken for something those guys who did 'things can only get better' might have put out... and really ... such a comparison would be most unfair. So all in all... I'm happy for it to stay undiscovered.
It's always reminded me of that song too!joe stalin wrote:I agree that OTLTA is quality.. I love the way that the lyrics are all backwards...

I really can't hear it. And anyway, D-ream happened a year after OTLTA was originally released.Niall wrote:It's always reminded me of that song too!joe stalin wrote:I agree that OTLTA is quality..

How is it ridiculous? I'm merely telling you which bit reminds me of that song and not arguing over which came first!jamie1978 wrote:How ridiculous.
