Notes:

In 1987, Jonathan King accused the [a7552 of plagiarizing the melody from [a37606’ “Wild World” in their song 32477. To prove his point, he released this cover, with music imitating “It’s a Sin” but with modified lyrics from “Wild World”. The sleeve also is a parody of PSB’s 27976 album cover. The Pet Shop Boys successfully sued King for defamation and donated the results to charity.

The B-side song was also the subject of a historic plagiarism lawsuit, when [a243955 was sued by the estate of [a295283 for similarities between "He's So Fine" and Harrison's "My Sweet Lord".
