Our first Christmas vinyl offering for 2023 is the much-anticipated 'Built On Sand’. Originally pressed on CD only and mailed to members of the Saint Etienne fan club for Christmas 1999, ‘Built On Sand’ gathered together 14 previously unreleased nuggets.

Highlights include Suburban Autumn Lieutenant, recorded by Etienne Daho as Le Baiser Francais; a pitch for a new theme to BBC TV's The Clothes Show; Tomorrow Never Dies, another pitch, this time for a Bond theme; and the minimal techno-pop Keep Nothing. There are also outtakes from Good Humor and Sound Of Water, unavailable anywhere else.

Now available on vinyl for the very first time, the new Foreign Office issue of ‘Built On Sand’ arrives in a glossy card sleeve with printed inner bag and digital download card. Both splatter and black vinyl editions are limited and expected to sell out before Christmas - don't miss out!
