Now Available: Pet Shop Boys, PLEASE / ACTUALLY / INTROSPECTIVE expanded reissues

It started last year, and it’ll keep on rolling for a little while yet, but this week marks the latest installment in the ongoing Pet Shop Boys reissue campaign. It’s called CATALOGUE: 1985-2012, and when all’s said and done, all of the PSB albums between those years will have gotten the multi-disc treatment, packaging the original albums with FURTHER LISTENING discs which explore B-sides, live tracks, demos, remixes… You get the picture.

As of today, Pet Shop Boys fans will be able to pick up three classic albums from the duo’s early years: 1986’s PLEASE, 1987’s ACTUALLY, and 1988’s INTROSPECTIVE. Each album has been remastered, and each album also includes an impressive booklet featuring photos, reminiscences from Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe, and details about the bonus tracks.
