Various - Saint Etienne Present Songs for the Lyons Cornerhouse (CD)

Sealed.

2012 mix, the keenly awaited follow up to the innovative and ground-breaking compilations Songs for Mario's Café and Songs for the Dog And Duck. Compiled with knowledge and TLC by Bob Stanley (Saint Etienne), this is a glorious slice of life from those halcyon Pre-Rock days. Features many era defining artists and household names such as Frankie Laine, Al Martino, Dickie Valentine, Eddie Calvert and Peggy Lee. The audio delight is accompanied by a jam-packed booklet featuring many label shots and some gorgeous ephemera. Transport yourself back to a less complicated time and pour yourself a nice cup of tea and then crank up the volume on your gramophone.
