Celebrating the twentieth anniversary of their first album and coinciding with a major world tour, Pet Shop Boys, Catalogue is a lavish visual retrospective of Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe's entire career. Every aspect of their work is featured: all the elegantly designed sleeve artwork and packaging; stills and behind-the-scenes shots from every video, film, concert and theatre show; experimental stage sets and cutting-edge fashion and costume designs; collaborations; publications; and ephemera. A visual feast of art, music and design, the book will appeal to both the devoted Pet Shop Boys fan and anyone interested in contemporary popular culture.
