Yep, that's what it says. Might just be a signed set of the vinyl releases due on 9th Dec worse case scenario but hopeful it's a surprise release.

Perhaps the new single is called "By Hand"?

If they were still with Parlophone they would never again release a single that wasn't promoting a larger project, but with PSB now on their own label they may do whatever they want. They may decide to release occasional one-off singles or EPs indie band style even though there's not much money to be made off such releases.
If they changed their mind about ending the Electric singles then "The Last to Die" would almost certainly be the next single. It's also possible we'll see a single from the Turing project. Exciting times to be sure!

It's the exclusive 10th side from the box set - edited for radio

[Andie]

Fluorescent, in a classy black casing with those slanted orange stripes. Contains a single edit, an extended version (like, 10+ minutes long), the unused version that has all the vocals that were removed, and perhaps 1 or 2 B-sides and some remixes. And of course a video to the single edit, using the concept we saw in the teaser as the base.

It sure ain't going to happen but I can dream!

Me too! and free to fan club members

...Is it the 50th Pet Shop Boys UK Single release I wonder?? Must be close to the 50th.

[Danimal]

It could be the 50th depending on how one counts them. It could also be a fan club single.

John Bishop, Pet Shop Boys and Dido

Chris and the gang get that Friday Feeling going with John Bishop, Pet Shop Boys and Dido.

Could this be a mistake on R2's part? I find it hard to believe they have even had a chance to record anything. They've only been back from tour for about six weeks.

If it is an unexpected new single my money is on a Christmas single.

[transforce]

I like this semi-ongoing tradition of PSB releasing a Christmas single. Let's face it the Christmas EP was fab and it cheered me up no end seeing it in record shops where there was little else like it. I hope we're not all getting excited over nothing.

[Old Soak]

Confirmation they are on Chris Evans on Friday:
