Pet Shop Boys announce Yes and Elysium as the next releases in their Catalogue series
Following the remastered release of three of their classic albums, Pet Shop Boys have announced the next two records that will be re-released as part of their Catalogue: 1985-2012 series.
The Further Listening editions of 2009's Yes and 2012's Elysium will be released for download, 2CD, 3CD and vinyl LP on October 20, the next two in a collection of eleven studio album reissues scheduled. The eleven albums as part of the series are all of Chris Lowe and Neil Tennant's works released under their record deal with Parlophone.
In addition to the original albums which have been fine-tuned, both Yes and Elysium come with 2CDs of extras, including remixes, demos and tracks that have never been previously available to the public. Yes' new exclusives include Pet Shop Boys' version of The loving kind, a song they wrote with Xenomania which became a hit for Girls Aloud.
