The Vinyl Factory is proud to announce their collectible art and vinyl limited edition of the Pet Shop Boys new ballet score, The Most Incredible Thing. Based on a Hans Christian Anderson short story, this is the iconic pop duo's first ever full-length dance score and their debut collaboration with Sadler's Wells and choreographer Javier de Frutos.
The Most Incredible Thing release by The Vinyl Factory is an exclusive, limited art edition, with only 500 copies available worldwide, each hand numbered and signed by the Pet Shop Boys. Designed by Farrow, who also collaborated with the artists on the much sought after collector's edition of their last album, Yes, this stunning release features music and artwork exclusive to The Vinyl Factory edition.
Comprising a silk cloth bound hard board slipcase containing a hardback book with seven record sleeves. Six of these house heavyweight 180-gram vinyl records pressed on the EMI 1400. The records feature the Pet Shop Boys' music for the ballet, as well as exclusive original demo versions of each of the compositions, only available in this release.
The seventh sleeve contains an oversized foldout sheet music print, signed by Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe. The ballet's synopsis is printed onto the record sleeves so that each has an accompanying narrative that reads like a storybook.
Set to become a prized collectors item, this beautiful deluxe edition is the perfect companion piece to what is one of the Pet Shop Boy's most unusual and intriguing projects to date.
The Vinyl Factory's previous limited edition for Yes - Pet Shop Boys, which sold out in two hours at the price of £300, has since re-sold for over £3,000.
