So here's how we will commemorate it at TVV:-mp3 : Saint Etienne - Kiss And Make Up (Midsummer Madness Mix)
mp3 : Saint Etienne - Kiss And Make Up (Midsummer Dubness Mix)
The band's second single, released in September 1990, featured Donna Savage on lead vocal. It was a cover of the song Let's Kiss And Make Up which had been released the previous year by The Field Mice. This is the remix as put together by superstar DJ Pete Heller.
Happy Listening.
PS : mp3s now available. There was a technical hitch of sorts from 6am - 8.30am. I simply forgot to load them up.........sorry.

Absolute classic.
I much prefer St Etienne's interpretation, the original is good but slightly too twee, like much of the Field Mice's stuff.
Lovely record, massive favourite of mine.
Saint Etienne are probably my all time favourite band. I say probably, I've loved them constantly for 20 years now, and whilst The Clash, Dexys and Weller have been in my life for longer, I go through phases where I stop listening. I love those bands more, and more intensely but the Etienne have been a constant soundtrack in a way the other bands have not.
Kiss And Make Up reminds me of a great time in my life and some great friends, who I'm now reaquainted with thanks to the dubious joys of Facebook. They all still love them too.
I know so many people who love them, why were they never a bigger band!?!?
I always thought the stripes down the side spoilt this sleeve!
But what a great record!! Like somekind of luddite I ran to my spare bedroom to find my copy of the vinyl, which took 20mins...was a good 2 or 3 minutes into the song before thinking 'oh. could just listen to the mp3s here'
