Pet Shop Boys announce Behaviour, Very and Bilingual as the final releases of their Catalogue series

The Pet Shop Boys have reached the end of their marathon reissue project, which has seen the synthpop duo re-release their iconic albums with musical glow-ups, basically.

The re-releases feature remastered tracks with improved sound quality, and an intriguing raft of never-before-heard bonus tracks and remixes made at the time of the album's original release dates in the '90s, thrown in for good measure.

The fourth and final set of re-releases from the Catalogue series are Behaviour (1990), Very (1993) and Bilingual (1996), all released on August 31 via Parlophone.

The collection marks the closing point of the duo's Catalogue: 1985-2012 collection, which began last year and features other iconic Pet Shop Boys albums including Nightlife, Release and Fundamental. 

Buyers can purchase the albums individually repackaged, each with an exclusive booklet where Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe reveal the creative process and inspiration behind the hit songs.

Archive photos taken at the time of the recordings are included in the extensive booklet.

Behaviour peaked at Number 2 in the UK albums chart when it was released in 1990, and is one of the duo's most personal records, featuring hit singles So Hard and Being boring.

Very, released in 1993, went one step further to nab the Number 1 UK albums spot on the Official Chart. It includes the duo's iconic cover of Go West and feels considerately more positive and upbeat and less introspective than Behaviour.

Bilingual was a Top 5 record and featured five more singles, all of which made the Official Singles Chart Top 20 at the time. Check out Pet Shop Boys' Official UK Chart history in full, and view the complete track listings below:
