PET SHOP BOYS * NIGHTLIFE *2017 REMASTER* 180G VINYL * LIKE NEW, SEALED
2017 LP, Album, Reissue, Remastered, 180g
Color inner sleeve with lyrics.
Nightlife is the seventh studio album, released on 8 October 1999. After the release and promotion of their previous album, Bilingual (1996), Pet Shop Boys started work with playwright Jonathan Harvey on the stage musical that eventually became Closer to Heaven (at one stage during the writing process, the musical was given the name of Nightlife). Pet Shop Boys soon had an album's worth of tracks and decided to release the album Nightlife as a concept album and in order to showcase some of the songs that would eventually make it into the musical.
The album incorporates a variety of musical influences, including hard trance on the Rollo-produced "For Your Own Good" and "Radiophonic"; dance-pop on "Closer to Heaven" and "I Don't Know What You Want but I Can't Give It Any More”; disco pastiche on "New York City Boy"; and country music on "You Only Tell Me You Love Me When You're Drunk". The track "Happiness Is an Option" is based on Sergei Rachmaninoff’s classical piece Vocalise, Op. 34,No. 14.
The album was a moderate commercial success, selling 1.2 million copies globally.[9] It reached number seven on the UK Albums Chart (their first studio album not to reach the top five) and spent three weeks on the chart at the time, but re-entered at number 29 in 2017 following the album's Further Listening 1996–2000 reissue. It also became the duo's lowest-charting studio album in the US, reaching number 84.
