Was this album The Shit, or what?

The album sounded like a horribly pessimistic version of Saint Etienne taking one big, dramatic, disgusted sigh. Oh, but what a pretty sigh.

I don't know what this group is doing these days, but I heard the song "Stars" on my shuffle play today and got all gooshy listening to it. I'm gonna have to give the whole album a spin tonight...

Any other fans of this album?

That's their second album
Stars is in the first one: Disgraceful*
Those 2 first albums are VERY good IMO. After a not so good third one they disbanded some 5 years ago


*PS. Disgraceful IS the name of the CD.

hmmm. 'stars' is on the copy of 'goodbye' that i own. but i only have the US version. i know the UK version is much different.

I should have thought of that.

Just checked it and Goodbye US version is a compilation of their two first albums.

It all started with the Beatles. Someone cleverly decides the original running order won't work for the American ear

yeah, it sucks. i hate the way the US version of st. etienne's "tiger bay" got mauled. fortunately, the UK version got reissued in the states a year or so ago.

Don't know the band, but somebody better call Chairry's lawyer!
