Pet Shop Boys will release an expanded edition of their latest album ‘Nonetheless' via Parlophone Records on 22nd November 2024.
The news follows the duo's performance at BBC Radio 2 in the Park in Preston at the weekend. ‘The expanded edition of ‘Nonetheless' will feature the full ‘Nonetheless' album including the singles ‘Loneliness', ‘Dancing star', ‘A new bohemia' and ‘Feel' plus four new bonus songs and the original demo versions of all the tracks on the album.
The bonus tracks include two cover versions: the David Bowie-penned ‘All the young dudes' and the 1967 soul song ‘The dark end of the street'. There are also two tracks originally recorded during the ‘Nonetheless' sessions: a version of the classical composition ‘Miserere' by Gregorio Allegri and a Pet Shop Boys original titled ‘Adrenaline'.
All these new tracks were produced by James Ford and ‘All the young dudes' and ‘The dark end of the street' have orchestral arrangements by Anne Dudley. ‘All the young dudes' was originally performed live by Pet Shop Boys and the BBC Concert Orchestra in February this year for the BBC Radio 2 Piano Room' sessions. Afterwards Neil and Chris decided they would like to record a new studio version of the Bowie classic.
The demo versions of the album tracks were originally recorded and produced by Pet Shop Boys from 2020-2022 and mixed by Pete Gleadall. ‘Nonetheless' Expanded Edition is available to buy in a triple black vinyl set, double CD set and digitally, and can be pre-ordered now.
