remix compilation album
release date: 4th February 2003
chart: UK #36, US #188
length: 51:54
label: Parlophone

Disco 3 is the thirteenth album by the Pet Shop Boys. It was released in 2003. It consists of five remixes of songs and B-sides from their previous album, Release, three new tracks, a new recording of "Positive role model" from their 2001 musical Closer to Heaven, and a cover version of "Try it (I'm in love with a married man)", originally by Oh Romeo, band of former Pet Shop Boys producer Bobby Orlando. "If looks could kill" and "Try it..." debuted during a 2002 Peel Session, along with "A powerful friend", a song that remains unreleased.[1] Despite charting relatively low on UK and US charts, the album was more successful than Disco 2, and was likely an attempt to recreate the success of the original Disco.
