Elton duets were all done in the PopArt era, as they announced in Literally, including a re-recorded studio version of Believe.

Has anyone bothered to total up the times of the bonus discs?

It's oddness that they are including this live version of Was It Worth it from the Montage DVD but are don't putting the B-sides from Drunk - the live Being Boring and Always On My Mind.

The Peel Sessions version, the Berlin Radio Mix and Genuine Piano mix of London are missing too. The piano mix features re-recorded Neil Tennant vocals I'm sure?

Maybe they hate London!

Re: Philadelphia IIRC Neil said on the questions section of the old website that they hadn't recorded this track properly. But of course there is a demo of sorts.

Does anyone have a list of tracks officially available (inc online exclusives) not left off?

I can think of a few:

K-Hole (extended version from promo)
E-Mail (demo)
Love Is a Catastrophe (demo)
London (Genuine Piano Version)
Indefinite Leave To Remain (demo)
I'm With Stupid (Demo)
Luna Park (Rock Mix)


So how is it that their two very worst albums Nightlife and Release are their only two albums to ever get a third discs but Very doesn't, when they left off Relentless. Again?!

It sounds great :D

Downloaded it. Sounds pretty huge with the full "Royal Pet Shop Boys Chandelier & Candelabra Orchestra" ;)

Although, I still think of the 3 demos the PSB did, the longer version in a lower key suits Neil's voice better. Regardless, it's nice to have this... even if syrupy treacle was oozing from my headphones ;)

Catalogue launch
Very excited to be launching our new 'Catalogue' series of reissues this morning. Sorry there have been a few problems with Amazon, iTunes etc. Hopefully Warner Music will sort these out soon. PSB x

From the OS pre order section-

‘Nightlife’, their darkly orchestrated collaboration with producers Rollo, Craig Armstrong and David Morales, originally released in 1999, is reissued with two Further listening CDs, including exclusive, unreleased tracks such as ‘Little black dress’, ‘Tall thin men’ and ‘For all of us’ and demo versions of ‘Vampires’, ‘Call me old-fashioned’ and ‘Radiophonic’.

Correction: just double-checked the iTunes track listing, and there are two versions of "For All of Us" included. However, I don't see "Little Black Dress" (yet).

Can't see the For all of us single on Google Play Music app.

Any ideas on how I can locate?

Such a woeful interface...

It's on iTunes. You can search iTunes for either "Pet Shop Boys Nightlife" or "Pet Shop Boys For All of Us".

If you do the second iTunes search, it will show the whole "Special Listening" track list. You'll see that the second "For All of Us" listing (highlighted) is active, for a snippet, and a purchasable download.

I think it's around one US dollar. Also if you buy it, you can download the rest of that tracklisting later, with the track's price deducted.

FYI :)

The production, especially with the orchestra towards the end is pretty huge-sounding.

What are your impressions, Rashomon?

Jeez. For All of Us has me weeping like an idiot. Such a beautiful song that, for me, has only grown in stature since the Albert Hall Show. Gorgeous.

I haven't waded through all the posts yet... but this OFFICIAL promo-ad features a remastered instrumental version of "I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more".
