After a 16-year break, legendary British duo Pet Shop Boys have announced a trio of expanded reissues from within their Parlophone Records discography--now part of a new initiative, Catalogue 1985-2012.
On July 28, new remastered reissues of Nightlife (1997), Release (2002) and Fundamental (2006) will be issued worldwide. As with prior releases, each CD title will include a series of Further Listening discs featuring "master quality bonus tracks and demos created in the same time period as each album, as well as Pet Shop Boys' own remixes of their tracks." B-sides, digital exclusives and previously unreleased material abounds, with Nightlife and Release in fact accompanied by two bonus discs (making two 3CD sets). 180-gram vinyl versions of the original albums will be available the same day.
Over the course of the following year, Catalogue 1985-2012 will cover not only the last two PSB albums for Parlophone (2009's Yes and 2012's Elysium) but will loop back around to offer newly-remastered versions of the albums which were released in 2001 (Please (1986), Actually (1987), Introspective (1988), Behaviour (1990), Very (1993) and Bilingual (1996)), all of which will include the same (currently out-of-print) bonus material.
Pre-order links are up for nearly every release coming on July 28 (ex-U.S. Amazon links for the Release vinyl are forthcoming), as well as detailed track breakdowns for each set (* indicates previously unreleased tracks, ** indicates tracks previously unreleased on CD).
