Saint Etienne
Xmas 11 EP Vinyl
Saint Etienne – Xmas 11 EP – limited edition 7" vinyl – includes a signed Christmas card!
It’s almost December, and we all know what that means. Yes, it’s almost Bob’s birthday. And to celebrate this we’re releasing a 7” 4- track EP, just like they did in the olden days.
XMAS ‘11 includes NO CURE FOR THE COMMON CHRISTMAS, WELCOME HOME, and UNWRAP ME from last year’s A GLIMPSE OF STOCKING CD.
Plus there’s a brand new song – SANTA’S FALSE TEETH – which is our festive update of the old Denim classic Grandad’s False Teeth.
The artwork is exquisite, and the production values are as high-end as you’ve come to expect. It also comes with a SIGNED Christmas card. Aren’t we lovely?

Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs had a concept - a band with a different vocalist for every track. However, while recording debut album, Foxbase Alpha, Sarah Cracknell lent her vocals to ‘Nothing Can Stop Us’ and they realised they had found their singer, one who ‘got’ them, had the same reference points and thus the band clicked. Foxbase Alpha established them as a quintessentially English proposition – part Lyons Corner House, part acid house – and their love of classic English pop marked them out as something charmingly unique.
Given their love of pop, they later worked with Xenomania’s Brian Higgins on Tales From Turnpike House. In between came So Tough and Tiger Bay, which moved their sound to a blend of modern techno with folk. Good Humor, and Sound Of Water, followed, the latter an experimental statement from a band traditionally known for their ‘perfect pop’, before releasing their love/hate letter to London, Finisterre.

We really clicked: we had the same reference points from our teens. You’ve got to find your own style, your own sound.
