Excerpt: Yes is the tenth studio album by English electronic duo Pet Shop Boys. The album was recorded throughout 2008 and is produced by Brian Higgins and his production team Xenomania. Xenomania also co-wrote three of the tracks. Guitarist Johnny Marr and string arranger Owen Pallett also appear. Yes was released in the UK on 23 March 2009. The lead single, "Love etc.", was released a week earlier, on 16 March 2009. The US release date was 21 April 2009. The album reached number four on the UK Albums Chart on 29 March 2009, the Pet Shop Boys' highest-placing album since 1996's Bilingual. Early sales figures predicted that the album would enter at number one, but a series of blunders by record label Parlophone rendered a number of sales ineligible for the chart. These included allowing 2,500 copies of the album to be bought digitally online three days before the UK release date, as well as stock level problems with a number of suppliers, which affected sales and chart placement. Some booklets that shipped with the Yes etc. double CD set had pages in the wrong order. EMI have set up a website for people affected by this to claim a new booklet. The album was released in multiple formats, including an MP3 download version that included a 48-minute commentary track on the entire album, and a limited-edition (300 copies) vinyl version containing eleven tracks of the album on one side and the instrumental version of each on the other side. The double CD edition of the album incorporated a bonus disc entitled Etc., which featured mostly instrumental dub mixes of six album tracks, plus a new song called "This Used to Be the Future", to which Philip Oakey of The Human League contributed some vocals. Yes spawned three further singles. On 1 June 2009, "Did You See Me Coming?" was released worldwide on a number of physical and digital formats, backed with three new B-sides. A limited German-only "Beautiful People" CD and download followed in September. Pet Shop Boys' first EP release,
