Electronic dance music duo Pet Shop Boys will release a brand new B-sides compilation on February 6, 2012, entitled Format.
The disc highlights the British duo’s prolific song-writing and recording by collecting 38 B-sides and bonus tracks originally released on singles from 1996 to 2009.
The album will be available digitally and on double-CD. All tracks have been remastered and the CD booklet features an interview with Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe by Jon Savage.
Format follows up a 1995 release, Alternative, which collected the duo’s B-sides from 1985 to 1994. The West End Girls hitmakers released their most recent studio album, Yes on March 23, 2009, which reached number four on the U.K. albums chart.
The duo is currently working on their 11th studio album which is due for release in early autumn next year.
