The track-listing for the forthcoming greatest hits album, “Ultimate Pet Shop Boys” has now been finalised. It includes 25 years of hits from 1985’s “West End girls” to 2009’s “Love etc.” and concludes with a new song, “Together”, written and recorded this month.
The full track-listing is:
West End girls
Suburbia
It’s a sin
What have I done to deserve this?
Always on my mind
Heart
Domino dancing
Left to my own devices
Being boring
Where the streets have no name (I can’t take my eyes off you)
Go West
Before
Se a vida é (That’s the way life is)
New York City boy
Home and dry
Miracles
I’m with stupid
Love etc.
Together
The new song was written and produced with former Xenomania staff member Tim Powell and will also be released as a single. The release date will be announced shortly.
“Ultimate Pet Shop Boys” will be released on November 1st. It was originally proposed by EMI to celebrate 25 years since the release of Pet Shop Boys’ first hit, “West End girls”. A special edition (full details in the earlier news story below) includes a DVD of Pet Shop Boys’ performances on BBC TV and also their Glastonbury Festival performance from June this year.
We are sad to hear that the distinguished British photographer Martin Parr, famous for his wryly distinctive images of everyday life, has died. In 2002 we asked him to direct the video for our song “London” and he made a short film which, in its combination of urban pathos and quirky London street life, was instantly recognisable as his work. We send our sincere condolences to his family and friends. Neil and Chris xx
