Saint Etienne Quote
English Weather was the first compilation me and Pete did for Ace Records, after brief re-issue stints with Zonophone and Eclipse. This time we didn't have our own imprint but (much more important) we got a free hand with the track listing and the artwork. The idea was Britain on the first day after the sixties - progressive rock hadn't yet solidified into a genre, psychedelia hadn't quite gone away. Things felt slightly directionless for British rock but there were plenty of ideas buzzing around - periods of flux like this tend to produce the most adventurous and individual music. The sound on English Weather was gently optimistic, but rainy and reserved; Peter Mitchell's cover shoots suited the mood. We followed it with a kind of Volume 2 called Occasional Rain at the start of this year.
