Competition Winners

Last Wednesday on the 30th anniversary of the release of 'So Tough' we asked you what your favourite song from the album was. 'Hobart Paving' and 'You’re In A Bad Way' stormed it and there were some great choices in joint third and fourth. We also asked what you were doing when the record was released and what it meant to you at the time. We had hundreds of responses via Instagram and Facebook and found it impossible to chose just three winners. So without further ado (cue drumroll) we announce five winners each of whom will receive a copy of our the super, super rare 'Pocket Call' 7" plus an assortment of other goodies.

Our favourite Instagram posts came from...

@threaders17
@erolalkan

and on Facebook we really enjoyed messages from...

Boaz Halachmi
and
Rick Skilbeck

Please message us with your address's and we will send your prizes out this week.

So Tough is 30!

Wow... our second album So Tough was released exactly 30 years ago today. Tune into 6 Music between 1-4pm GMT this afternoon to hear Sarah chatting with Craig Charles about the record. Which are your favourite songs from So Tough and why? What were you doing when the record came out and what did it mean to you? Did you see Saint Etienne perform live during 1993? We'd love to know and will send rare Etienne vinyl prizes to our three favourite answers. Check tomorrow's post to see who the winners are and follow the link in our bio to listen to So Tough.

"But why the tape boxes shown in this post?" we hear you ask. Well, we've been delving deep into the Saint Etienne archives lately to find unreleased songs and outtakes from the So Tough sessions. Those are being compiled for a special box set later this year to accompany our 'Foxbase Alpha' and 'Tiger Bay' sets. Stay tuned here for news!!
