In this special 132-page second volume of Classic Pop Presents Pet Shop Boys, we pay tribute to the greatest pop duo of all time. In this special issue, we revisit Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe’s unmatched career, from West End Girls hitting UK No.1, on through their self-titled ‘Imperial Phase’, and up to their superb new album Nonetheless. Inside, we speak exclusively to producer James Ford about the making of the new album, plus we get behind the scenes on the 40th anniversary Dreamworld tour with its creative director Tom Scutt. Elsewhere, we return to the very early days of their career and explore the ‘Imperial Phase’ that followed. Beyond that, we offer up an in-depth look at their sole No.1 album thus far, Very, and it’s dancefloor-bound companion EP Relentless. Of course, we revisit all of the albums not explored in Volume 1, as well as delivering our definitive Top 40 B-sides and our pick of the Boys’ collaborations. Add to that, this issue’s Pop Art feature that examines the duo’s tour programmes, our re-evaluation of the duo’s oddball feature film, It Couldn’t Happen Here, and pieces on both their relationship with gay culture and their love of the dancefloor, and we have all bases covered!
