At last we can give you??the details??on??the next Saint Etienne single, A Good Thing, out on October 31st.
It comes in three formats - you know they'd just release 4 track EPs if??they had??their way but... they go something like this.

7": A Good Thing b/w I'm Falling
CD1: A Good Thing (das Germanwings mix), Missing Persons Bureau
CD2: A Good Thing, Book Norton, Quiet Essex

Beautiful artwork by Lora Findlay - see below!

So... the mix is by Charlie Casey and Steve Hellier, a Death In Vegas spinoff team. "I'm Falling" is a co-write (but not a duet) with David Essex, an outtake from their latest CD??"Tales From Turnpike House". It's spooky, you'll love it. "Missing Persons Bureau" is an acousto-jazz autumnal cover - see if you can work out who did the original. "Book Norton" and "Quiet Essex" are both from the soundtrack to "What Have You Done Today, Mervyn Day?" Book Norton was written by Debs - it's almost medieval.
