Final Saint Etienne re-issues out today, “Re-issue Roustabout” this Friday

Saint Etienne complete their mammoth re-issue-a-thon today with the deluxe release of both Good Humour and Tales From Turnpike House (TLOBF Review coming soon). These are the final pair of original Saint Etienne albums to be given the deluxe re-issue treatment. The set will be rounded out in Spring 2011 with the release of Casino Classics a comprehensive collection of Saint Etienne club remixes.

To celebrate the release, here’s a message from the one and only Bob Stanley.

Hullo

To celebrate the last two official Saint Etienne albums (Good Humor and Tales From Turnpike House) being given the deluxe treatment, we’re having a RE-ISSUE ROUSTABOUT next friday (October 8th) at St Aloysius Church Hall, just round the back of Euston station, a splendid venue straight out of Up The Junction. Me and Pete will be playing records along with special guest and Foxbase Beta mastermind Richard X. The date is next Friday, October 8th, and it’ll be on from 8 til 12.30.

There will be a raffle and a small, ebay-friendly souvenir of the evening available for one and all.

Forget the recession for three and a half hours. Dance the pain away! We’d love to see you there.
