Saint Etienne are issuing their rare More Words And Music bonus disc on vinyl for the first time.
The LP was initially released as a North American exclusive in conjunction with their 2012 album, Words And Music, and features a further eight original tracks plus covers of Amy Winehouse’s Just Friends and Scott Walker’s Manhattan.
“This year we’ll be pressing that long deleted US-only bonus disc ‘More Words And Music’ on 12″ vinyl,” explain the group. “When we did the new deluxe CD earlier this year, it did feel like a shame that oddities like Solid Gold, Racing Car and Your Valentine hadn’t made it onto vinyl. So here they are!”
The release will be pressed on clear vinyl with green, yellow and black splatter effect to match the main album, which was reissued as part of Love record Stores Day. A limited black vinyl edition is also available.

That’s not all – the More Words And Music vinyl also comes with a three-track bonus EP.
“As there’s nothing new on the record, anyone who buys a copy will also receive our Christmas 2020 CD-stroke-Christmas card,” they add. “This contains three brand new recordings: Access To All Alone, Toot Baldon and Wish Park.
“Not actual Christmas bangers, as this didn’t really feel like the year for our Shaky tribute, but all three are exclusive songs.”
Pre-orders become available on November 17th – get yours here.
