In the liner notes for one of the Pet Shop Boys' Further Listening remastered albums—either Introspective or Bilingual, I can't recall which—Neil Tennant says the duo is always coming up with great ideas for EPs, but their label always shoots them down. But their second single off Yes, "Did You See Me Coming?" would actually make a great EP, given all the goodies included.
Naturally, that won't happen, and all extras are getting spread over no less than three digital bundle singles, two CDs and a 12" vinyl release.Out in the U.K. on June 1, "Did You See Me Coming?" will contain in its various formats a 12" mix (Yay!), the "Unicorn Kid Mix," three B-sides ("After The Event," "The Former Enfante Terrible" and "Up And Down"), their Brits medley and a Richard X mix of Yes track "The Way It Used To Be."
UPDATE: (From April 24) Chris Lowe says on Twitter, "Just finished our new mix of 'Did you see me coming?' It's got a lot of new vocals, both spoken and sung."
The video for "Did You See Me Coming?" was shot yesterday in London, with former Jesus And Mary Chain member Douglas Hart directing.
Yes was released in the U.S. this week. So far, it's reached #10 on the iTunes Store's top albums ranking, and #6 on Amazon's best-sellers list.
