Several decades ago, Pet Shop Boys shared a six-track dance album titled Relentless as the second disc of their limited edition double LP Very Relentless. In celebration of its 30th anniversary, the band decided to make the rarity available once again on October 20th via Parlophone.
Back in 1993, Pet Shop Boys released their fifth studio album, Very, to critical acclaim and worldwide success. In addition to topping the UK albums chart, it spawned the Top 10 singles “Go west” (a Village People cover) and “Can you forgive her?” They expanded the release with the aforementioned Very Relentless while also making Relentless available as a standalone vinyl limited to 500 copies. The six tracks on the latter album have not been available since then.
The reissue of Relentless will be available as a limited edition yellow vinyl with new artwork, as well as in CD and digital formats. Pre-orders are ongoing. See the artwork and tracklist below.
“This album was an experiment for us 30 years ago with its six new extended dance tracks. We’re very proud of it and delighted it’s now getting the stand-alone release it deserves,” Pet Shop Boys said in a statement.
This past April, the group unveiled an EP called Lost. To close out 2023, Pet Shop Boys have a string of dates in Latin America, including appearances at Corona Capital Festival and Primavera Sound in Buenos Aires, São Paulo, and Bogotá. See their itinerary below, and grab your tickets here.
