Is Electronic releasing a Best of in February?

I read about it on the Pet Shop Boys forum.

I saw that on the PSB forum too. Hopefully it will be a two disc affair with all of the b-sides.

Feb 6th is pencilled in as the release date on the weblink.

I really really really hope the BSides are present; Electronic did some excellent BSides!

Bout time we had a new electronic album. I really enjoyed twisted tenderness.

I hate to be a fly in the ointment, but wasn't Electroic published by different labels? Virgin and Parlophone/Warner Bros. It would be interesting to see if it comes off. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm sure they can overcome all this... Specially as we're not talking about multi-platinum shifting amounts of units...

They've already released a 'Best Of'. It came out in 1991, and was called, simply, 'Electronic'.

Surely everyone's already got this? :skeptic:

Naughty Al. Stop trying to raise the pressure with your twisted tenderness!

anyone know why they changed the colour scheme on it on the re-release?

Probably so that us poor hardcore suckers of a fanbase would see it and think; 'ooo- reissue- new track?' only to discover that it was just the same album with 'getting away with it' bolted on.

I like the reissue; Reality and Gangster have much more punch than the '91 mixes. Good job, Owen Morris. But they should have left GAWI off.

Electronic bore me rigid. One good album and two good singles doth not a "best of" warrant. I think a best of for Electronic would be the most pointless thing since Revenge decided to reissue their first album with another disk of outtakes and other EP tracks.

Whatever next? My Tank's Bigger Than Yours! - The Very Best Of The Other Two?
