Pet Shop Boys and Parlophone Records are planning to release the “Performance” film on DVD, probably this autumn. The album “Nightlife” will also be reissued with a bonus “Further listening” disc of PSB tracks recorded during the same period as the album, joining the series of Pet Shop Boys reissues released in 2001.
The “Performance” film was made by Eric Watson in 1991. It records the show, directed by David Alden and designed by David Fielding, which Pet Shop Boys toured that year and which has become legendary for its ground-breaking theatricality.
The release dates of both “Performance” and “Nightlife/Further listening 1998–2000” will depend on the amount of time it takes to compile the album and to remix, remaster and add extra features to the DVD.
“Battleship Potemkin” with music by Pet Shop Boys opens in selected cinemas in the UK and Ireland for the first time today. To mark its centenary, Sergei Eisenstein’s legendary silent film was restored by Deutsche Kinemathek. A full list of UK cinema dates is available on the BFI website at the link below.
