Saint Etienne’s ‘Foxbase Alpha’ box set also available as a signed edition

As some of you will be aware, Saint Etienne are reissuing their 1994 album Tiger Bay and the SDE shop has been lucky enough to be able to offer fans signed copies. In total, there will only be just over a couple of hundred signed copies available and they’re almost sold out.

However, I feel duty bound to let you know that the band are also going to sign some copies of the 25th anniversary box set of their first album Foxbase Alpha at the same time they do Tiger Bay. This will be happening next week, so you have today and the weekend to get an order in for a SIGNED copy of this Foxbase Alpha box set because no new orders will be taken once we get to Monday 6 May.

Travis’ The Man Who box set returns

Four-disc box set available again • New ‘Live at Glastonbury 99’ release

Travis‘ box set of their 1999 album The Man Who came and went quickly back in 2017, with quite a limited production (thought to be no more than 1500 in two small runs). That scarcity has driven prices sky-high, so fans who missed the boat will be pleased to hear that the same 2LP+2CD super deluxe box is being made available again, for the album’s 20th anniversary, thanks to a deal with Concord Music in the US.
