Pet Shop Boys, who got their start back in the early days of the ’80s, have consistently produced music that has consistently captured the fancy of dance music fans. With their first album, Please, released in 1986 amid the MTV explosion, they gained a following with “West End Girls”. From then, they produced one Platinum set after another for quite some time. Their last million-selling album was Very (1993), which issued a chest of hits with five songs from this album. But the band continued to be productive and selling well on through their 2009 album, Yes. Since that album, they’ve issued three more including 2016’s Super.
On August 31, Pet Shop Boys will continue their ongoing ‘Catalogue’ reissue campaign via Rhino Records. The albums on the reissue schedule are Behaviour (1990) with four strong hit singles, Very (1993), and Bilingual (1996).
All mentioned planned reissues will be 2CD and LP sets classified by “Further Listening” with the years of strength appended. All music will feature new 2018 remastering, and bonus song inclusions to augment the original album. In addition, Rhino will reissue the three titles as vinyl LP set with the original album remastered.
