Saint Etienne is on a reissue roll. 2009 saw the release of deluxe new editions of Foxbase Alpha, Continental, So Tough, and Sound of Water. And on May 3, Heavenly/Universal Music Catalogue will reissue two more albums from the band’s vaults: 1994’s Tiger Bay and 2002’s Finisterre.
These reissues are both double CD editions, featuring the original UK version of the album on the first disc and a second disc of session tracks and B-sides. The new versions also include extensive liner notes, and there’s a limited edition version of Finisterre that includes the accompanying film of the same name on DVD.
