#1 Beitrag von Zukunft »

PET SHOP BOYS ANNOUNCE THE SECOND SET OF RELEASES IN ‘CATALOGUE: 1985-2012’, THE LANDMARK SERIES OF REISSUES OF
THEIR PARLOPHONE STUDIO ALBUMS THE ALBUMS ‘YES’ AND ‘ELYSIUM’ ARE REMASTERED AND REISSUED WITH ‘FURTHER LISTENING’ ALBUMS OF ADDITIONAL AND PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED MATERIAL‘YES’ AND ‘ELYSIUM’ REISSUES OUT OCTOBER 20TH
Pet Shop Boys will release the second set of albums in their definitive ‘Catalogue: 1985-2012’ series of reissues of all their Parlophone studio albums.
This second set sees the PSB albums ‘Yes’ from 2009 and ‘Elysium’ from 2012 reissued on October 20th.
Both titles have been remastered and are accompanied by ‘Further listening’ albums of master quality bonus tracks and demos created in the same period as each album, as well as Pet Shop Boys’ own remixes of their tracks, including some previously unreleased material.
Both albums will be packaged with an extensive booklet in which Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe discuss each song, illustrated with many archive photographs. The entire project is designed by Farrow.

‘Yes’ was produced by Brian Higgins and his production team Xenomania. The record debuted at number four on the UK Albums Chart upon release and was nominated for Best Electronic/Dance Album at the 2010 Grammy Awards.
This expanded version of the album features guests including The Human League’s Phil Oakey, who shares vocals with Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe on ‘This used to be the future’.
Johnny Marr also appears on ‘Yes’, his guitar work featuring on several tracks including the single, ‘Did you see me coming?’.
The album’s lead single and UK Top 20 hit, ‘Love Etc.’, became PSB’s ninth number one hit on Billboard’s Hot Dance Club Songs
chart in the USA, breaking the record for most chart-topping singles by a duo or group on the Billboard Dance Chart.
This reissue of ‘Yes’ includes - alongside the remastered original album - Pet Shop Boys’ previously unreleased monitor mix of ‘The loving kind’, a song which became a Top 10 hit for Girls Aloud, as well as previously unreleased demos of songs from the 2010 Young Vic theatre production, My Dad’s A Birdman.
PSB mixes of ‘Did you see me coming?’, ‘The former enfant terrible’ and more are also included.

‘Elysium’, originally released in 2012, was seen by some as a shift in sound and direction for Pet Shop Boys.
Writing for the album began whilst PSB were on tour with Take That, with some tracks dating as far back as 2008.
The album was co-produced by PSB with Andrew Dawson, who engineered much of Kanye West’s album ‘808s & Heartbreak’, a record which Neil Tennant had become ‘mildly obsessed’ with at the time.
The darker lyrical themes of ‘Elysium’ are reflected in the record’s sound.
Neil Tennant said: ‘It is deep in terms of the sound — got a lot of sub-bass —it's sort of deep in terms of subject matter, the way it's expressed. But I think it's the Pet Shop Boys' most beautiful album.’
The ‘Further listening’ album of additional material alongside this ‘Elysium’ reissue features previously unreleased demos entitled ‘Vocal’, ‘She pops’ and ‘In slow motion’, as well as PSB mixes and remixes of ‘Leaving’ and ‘Memory of the future’.

Etwas enttäuscht vom Track-Listing. Hätte mir gerade bei Yes mehr unveröffentlichtes gewünscht. Aber schön, dass es jetzt so schnell geht.

Gemäß meiner Erwartung kaum nennenswerte Novitäten. Dafür sind die Alben aber auch noch zu frisch und während ihrer Ära auch schon gut ausgeschlachtet. Da von "Birdman" nur Demos veröffentlicht werden, halten Sie das Hauptmaterial weiterhin aus bestimmten Gründen zurück.

Für "Yes" hoffe ich, dass sich das Remaster positiv auswirkt. "Did you see me coming" und "All over the world" klingen auf dem Original ganz schrecklich "brickwalled".

Ich rechne damit, dass mit der nächsten Ankündigung auch die Gesamt-Box kommt. Mal sehen ob die Einzel-VÖ´s dann wirklich
so "definitive" sind wie Herr Tennant sagt, und der Box ausser einer passenden Umverpackung nix weiter spendiert wird. Schätze dann, dass die Nachauflagen der ersten Sechs FL´s kommenden Frühjahr kommen.

Lt. www.psb-catalogue.com gab es die Remixe zum einen als Download und dann in einer Auflage von jeweils 50 Stück auf den beiden US-Promo-CDs von Astralwerks. Denke mal, daß diese Promo-VÖ der Grund ist, warum weder die Tracks weder mit "previously unreleased" noch mit "previously unreleased on CD" angegeben wurden.

Wieso gib es eigentlich keine "PSB discuss-" Videos zu Yes & Eylsium, wie es noch bei den vorangegangenen Re-Issues der Fall war? :(
