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.
Pet Shop Boys’ classic “Suburbia” was released on this day 40 years ago. The music video was directed by Eric Watson and filmed in the suburbs of San Bernardino and Duarte in Los Angeles and in Kingston-upon-Thames in Greater London.
