In this exclusive footage, Saint Etienne chanteuse Sarah Cracknell gives her new single, "The Journey Continues," the acoustic treatment and the results -- alongside classically trained soprano Jane Sheldon -- are sublime. Additionally, Sarah goes on to say that Saint Etienne's is working on a new single with Richard X, called "This Is Tomorrow," to be included on a new greatest hits album that focuses on the singles since 1995's "Too Young to Die." (Never mind the fact that "Travel Edition" and the two-disc "Smash the System" already took care of this!) More interest, though, she says the group's entire catalog is set to be reissued and remastered. Although I claim to have mixed feelings about shelling out hundreds of dollars more on music I already own, god knows St. Etienne will do them up right with lots of bonus tracks and the like, so how can I resist? (My six reissued BANANARAMA CDs just arrived a minute ago and they're fab!!!)
Violent Violet also has Sarah’s handwritten and signed lyric sheet from the acoustic session to give away (click here for details). If you look very closely you can see it in the accompanying video footage.

Wow, I'm surprised to see that another fellow American knows of this song. Where did you hear it from? Thanks for this! I didn't know there was an acoustic version. It's great!
Ah, anything Sarah does is near perfection!
