i've often wondered with prolific artists (such as PSB) whether they build up a storage of songs they like but not ready to release -- with the intention of releasing them later in their careers as either a treasure trove to fans, or as a high point in their twilight years
i wonder if this is likely for PSB? or is things like the Ballet simply a new outlet for old unreleased material
most of us in this discussion group has a PSB demo or unofficial recording that they love, right?
a future album? (just asking, don't get excited)

Re: a future album? (just asking, don't get excited)
To answer your question, I am going to give you an example. One of the demos to 'Living Daylights' is almost unknown and never got released, while the other had become the base of the song 'This Must Be The Place I Waited Years To Leave' some years later.jasonjohn wrote:i've often wondered with prolific artists (such as PSB) whether they build up a storage of songs they like but not ready to release -- with the intention of releasing them later in their careers as either a treasure trove to fans, or as a high point in their twilight years

PSB have always maintained that they don't have many spare tracks at all. For the last number of albums they've published the studio diaries in Literally, so you can more or less count the number of unreleased tracks, although some become other songs later like "unbelievable scenes" that became "Fugitive".

"It´s fundamental that we do only exist in our own universe. When you like Pet Shop Boys, you are in our world. This is absolutely crucial to our entire outlook...what we do has an incredibly strong identity and applies only to us. It´s a case of not recognising the existence of anybody else!". Neil Tennant.
