Pet Shop Boys Announce Striking Vinyl Reissue of Their Seminal Collection "Discography"
The Pet Shop Boys are set to delight vinyl enthusiasts with the reissue of their seminal collection, Discography: The Complete Singles Collection. Scheduled for release on May 30, 2025, this edition arrives on striking blue-coloured vinyl, offering a fresh visual appeal alongside the beloved tracks.
Originally launched in 1991 as the band’s first greatest hits compilation, Discography captured the essence of their sound between the 1990’s Behaviour and the forthcoming 1993 Very. This comprehensive collection includes all UK singles up to that time, meticulously presented in their original seven-inch format, with the exception of "How Can You Expect To Be Taken Seriously?" which features only the U2 cover/mash-up, Where the Streets Have No Name (I Can’t Take My Eyes Off You).
Enhancing the reissue, the 2025 pressing incorporates the 2023 remasters, ensuring superior audio quality for audiophiles. The two-LP set also retains the inclusion of two new tracks, “DJ Culture” and “Was It Worth It?”, which were initially released as singles surrounding the original compilation. These additions provide both nostalgic and fresh listening experiences for long-time fans and new listeners alike.
The blue vinyl release not only serves as an aesthetic upgrade but also highlights the enduring appeal of the Pet Shop Boys' discography. With tracks like “West End Girls,” “It’s a Sin,” and “Always on My Mind,” the collection is a testament to the band’s significant impact on the synth-pop landscape. This limited edition promises to be a prized addition to any vinyl collection, celebrating over three decades of musical excellence.
Available through Parlophone, the reissued Discography: The Complete Singles Collection is priced at €45.99, offering fans a chance to own a piece of music history with improved sound quality and a visually appealing presentation.
