The album is mainly a compilation of Pet Shop Boys remixes of songs by other artists, a first among any of their releases to date. It also includes a previously unreleased mix of "Integral" and the maxi-mix of "I'm with Stupid", previously released on the Japanese edition of Fundamental.

Since the album consists mostly of songs by other artists, it was ineligible for the UK Albums Chart. Instead, the album reached number 15 on the UK Compilation Chart and number three on the UK Dance Albums Chart.

To promote Disco Four, the PSB Perfect Immaculate mix of "Integral" had a limited service to club and selected radio DJs with a music video released on the duo's official website and YouTube.^[6]
