Pet Shop Boys announce the third set of releases under their extensive reissues of their first 11 studio albums

The Pet Shop Boys have announced the third set of releases in their extensive Catalogue 1985-2012 reissue, an expansive re-release and remaster of their first 11 studio albums released while the group were signed to Parlophone. 

Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe, who make up the Pet Shop Boys, have already released five albums as part of the issue. This latest release will see the group's Please, Actually and Introspective albums receive the remaster treatment. And like the previous two releases, each album will be repackaged and include bonus material like demos, extended mixes and remixes of songs from the album and those written around the same time. 

Released originally in March 1986, Please hit Number 3 on the Official Albums Charts and spent a mammoth 82 weeks in on the chart. The album spawned the hit West End Girls, the group's first Number 1 single. 

Following a year later, Actually landed at Number 2 on the Official Album Charts and featured the singles You Were Always On My Mind and What Have I Done To Deserve This, which featured Dusty Springfield and scaled the Official Singles Chart to Number 2. 

Rounding out the releases is 1988's Introspective, an album that saw the group team up with producer Trevor Horn and which peaked at Number 2 on the Official Album Charts.
