PET SHOP BOYS ANNOUNCE FOURTH AND FINAL SET OF RELEASES IN
CATALOGUE: 1985-2012, THE LANDMARK SERIES OF REISSUES OF THEIR
PARLOPHONE STUDIO ALBUMS

The Albums Behaviour, Very And Bilingual Will Be Remastered And Reissued With 'Further
Listening' Albums Of Additional Bonus Material

Reissues Out August 31 From Rhino

LOS ANGELES - Pet Shop Boys will release the final set of albums in their definitive CATALOGUE: 1985-2012 series of reissues of all their Parlophone studio albums. This fourth batch of releases will see the PSB albums Behaviour from 1990, the 1993 album Very and the 1996 album Bilingual reissued on August 31. The albums have been remastered and repackaged, and will be accompanied by 'further listening' albums of master quality bonus tracks - including demos, extended mixes and remixes of tracks from the albums and others created in the same period as each record.
 
Behaviour was Pet Shop Boys' fourth studio album, recorded mostly in Munich, Germany at co-producer Harold Faltermeyer's studio. The album was then completed at London's Sarm West Studios, and was released in October 1990 - hitting number 2 on the UK Album Chart and going on to earn platinum certification in the UK.
 
The LP is seen by some as one of Pet Shop Boys' most contemplative and moving records, and features the singles "So Hard," 'How Can You Expect To Be Taken Seriously?' and their classic track "Being Boring."  This catalogue release of  Behaviour features 'further listening' bonus tracks such as an extended mix of "Where The Streets Have No Name (I Can't Take My Eyes Off You)" and an ambient mix of "Music For Boys" - both of which are previously unreleased on CD.
 
The 1993 album Very was a number one record for Pet Shop Boys in the UK, Germany, Sweden and Switzerland, and has to date sold in excess of five million copies worldwide. It contains 5 singles, including their cover of "Go West" - a number 2 hit for PSB - and lead single "Can You Forgive Her?"
 
Stylistically, Very could be said to serve as an antithesis to Behaviour, insofar as the production and lyrical themes are generally more upbeat and positive than those of the previous album. PSB also reinvented their image to incorporate more vivid colors and brightness, including Very's now-iconic "Lego" album cover. The album is also the first to be produced almost entirely by Pet Shop Boys themselves - with additional programming and production courtesy of Pete Gleadall and Stephen Hague. This CATALOGUE: 1985-2012 issue of Very includes a 'further listening' disc of bonus material, such as the previously-unreleased tracks "Falling" (a demo for Kylie Minogue), and a 1992 twelve-inch mix of "Go West."
 
Released in September 1996, Bilingual was the sixth studio album to be released by Pet Shop Boys. It was a UK top 5 record upon release and included 5 singles, all of which were UK Top 20 singles. As is often the case with PSB records, Bilingual comprises many influences, including those of the music of Latin America, due partly to the Spanish and Latin music Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe had been listening to prior to recording the album.
 
The album was recorded by PSB with Danny Tenaglia and Chris Porter, and has since gained platinum certification in Spain, and Gold in the UK. This CATALOGUE: 1985-2012  release of Bilingual includes a 'further listening'  CD of bonus tracks, with previously-unreleased new versions of "Discoteca" and "A Red Letter Day."
 
The CATALOGUE: 1985-2012 reissues of Behaviour, Very and Bilingual will go on sale August 31. The three albums will be packaged with an extensive booklet in which Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe discuss each song, illustrated with many archive photographs. The entire project is designed by Farrow. To pre-order the albums, please follow the links below:
 
Behaviour/Further Listening: 1990-1991

TWISTED SISTER

You Can't Stop Rock 'N' Roll Has Been Newly Remastered And Expanded With Live
Recordings From The Band's Legendary 1983 Performance At The Marquee Club

Double CD And LP Sets Will Be Available On September 14

Live At The Marquee LP Set Also Available On August 10 As
A Record Store Crawl Exclusive

LOS ANGELES - Twisted Sister made its Atlantic Records debut in 1983 with You Can't Stop Rock 'N' Roll. The album was a turning point for the quintet and helped set the stage for their rise to fame over the coming years. Rhino revisits Twisted Sister's early days with a newly remastered version of that album, which has been expanded with rare live performances recorded in London months before the studio album was released.

LIVE AT THE MARQUEE 1983 - YOU CAN'T STOP ROCK 'N' ROLL will be available on September 14 as a double-CD set for $19.98. The music will also be available digitally and via streaming services. LIVE AT THE MARQUEE 1983 will be available as a double-LP set on colored vinyl for $31.98 starting August 10  as a part of Record Store Day Craw and will be available exclusively at all independent retailers in advance of the national release date of September 14. For more information, please visit https://www.recordstorecrawl.com/exclusives.

After years playing clubs around New York, Twisted Sister signed with Atlantic Records and released You Can't Stop Rock 'N' Roll in May 1983. The stellar album includes hard-rocking classics like the title track, "I Am (I'm Me)" and "The Kids Are Back." Along with the album's original tracks, this newly remastered version also features three studio bonus tracks: "One Man Woman," "Four Barrel Heart Of Love" and "Feel The Power," which previously appeared on the B-side of the You Can't Stop Rock 'N' Roll EP.

Previously released as a Rhino Handmade title, the live performances featured on the second disc were recorded in March 1983 over two nights at London's famed Marquee Club. The songs find Twisted Sister raw, hungry and catching fire just a few months before the group achieved breakout success on radio and MTV. Mirroring the setlists from both shows, the collection's blistering performances feature singer Dee Snider, guitarists Jay Jay French and Eddie "Fingers" Ojeda, bassist Mark "The Animal" Mendoza and drummer A.J. Pero.

The performances on LIVE AT THE MARQUEE are unrelenting as the band demolishes nearly every song from its debut Under the Blade, including the show opener "What You Don't Know (Sure Can Hurt You)." Along with covers of the Shangri-Las' "Leader Of The Pack" and the Slade version of the R&B staple "Let The Good Times Roll," the album also includes the first-ever public performance of "You Can't Stop Rock 'N' Roll," which would later surface on the band's second studio album. Bits of Snider's legendary stage banter can also be heard between songs.

THE DOORS WAITING FOR THE SUN
50TH ANNIVERSARY DELUXE EDITION

2-CD/1-LP Edition Of The Doors' First #1 Album Features Newly
Remastered Audio, Plus 14 Unreleased Studio and Live Recordings;
Available September 14 From Rhino

"Hello, I Love You" 7" Single To Be Released On August 3, 50 Years
To The Day Of The Song Hitting Number One On The Billboard Singles Chart

LOS ANGELES - The Doors released their third studio album, Waiting For The Sun, in July 1968. It was the band's third platinum album in less than two years, and the first to top the album chart. Since its debut, the album has sold millions of copies around the globe and contributed to the Doors' legendary canon with classics like "The Unknown Soldier," "Five To One" and the #1 smash, "Hello, I Love You."

Rhino will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the album this year with WAITING FOR THE SUN: 50th ANNIVERSARY DELUXE EDITION. This 2-CD/1-LP collection features a new version of the album's original stereo mix on both CD and 180-gram vinyl LP, which has been newly remastered from the original master tapes by Bruce Botnick, the Doors' longtime engineer/mixer. The set also includes a second disc of 14 completely unreleased tracks: nine recently discovered "rough mixes" from the   album recording sessions and five live songs from a 1968 Copenhagen show. WAITING FOR THE SUN: 50th ANNIVERSARY DELUXE EDITION will be available on September 14 for $49.98. The audio will also be available on digital download and streaming services.

"Hello, I Love You" became the band's second #1 hit when it topped the Billboard singles chart for two weeks beginning on August 3, 1968. Now, exactly 50 years later, Rhino will release a new 7" version of the single with its b-side "Love Street." For this anniversary release, Rhino will use mono radio mixes of the songs that were given exclusively to radio stations for airplay in 1968. This version of "Hello, I Love You" was first available last year as part of The Singles CD collection and is making its vinyl debut here, while the "Love Street" mix is being released commercially for the first time. The 7" single will be available on August 3 for $9.98.

Botnick's newly remastered stereo mix of Waiting For The Sun adds new sonic dimensions to songs like "The Unknown Soldier" and "Spanish Caravan," but that wasn't his only contribution to the project. While going through his archive, he uncovered a cache of rough mixes from the sessions that hadn't been played in 50 years. Botnick says: "I prefer some of these rough mixes to the finals, as they represent all of the elements and additional background vocals, different sensibilities on balances, and some intangible roughness, all of which are quite attractive and refreshing."

The deluxe edition of the album also features unreleased live recordings of five songs from the Doors' September 17, 1968 concert in Copenhagen. The performance includes three songs from the band's latest album - "Hello, I Love You," "Five To One," and "The Unknown Soldier" - plus the classics "Back Door Man" and "The WASP (Texas Radio And The Big Beat)."

When the Doors recorded Waiting For The Sun in 1968, they were among the first bands to use Dolby A301 noise reduction processors, which was cutting-edge recording tech at the time. Similarly, the most advanced sound recording innovations were used to make the anniversary edition of Waiting For The Sun. The new release has been encoded with the MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) process. An MQA disc plays back on all CD players as standard CD quality. But if a conventional CD player is connected to an MQA-enabled device, it can play the same disc back at its original sample rate.  

In other Doors news, the band has reprinted their original 1968 Doors concert program for the first time, which will be available exclusively in The Doors webstore. This was the only official tour program ever created by the band.

The program was originally produced for their 1968 U.S. tour but only sold at a few select shows and via mail order. Designed by Paul Ferrara, this 24-page program includes many color and black & white images taken by Ferrara, plus poetry by Jim Morrison, astrology charts for each band member, and more.
