The track "Departure Lounge" on this Deluxe Edition seems to be a different song from a track with the same title of "Departure Lounge" that was featured on a Melody Maker free cover-mounted cassette in 1997. Can anybody shed any light on this anomaly? And which songs should have what correct title?

A rather generous collection, though a bit annoying that several tracks from the original releases of the albums (US, UK and Japan versions) are missing. I get that they may not have fit a "flow" but for completeness sake, this is pretty much all we're going to get for this period of her career and it's a missed opportunity. But it wouldn't quite be Saint Etienne without leaving something to the collectors, would it?

Sarah Cracknell, the frontwoman for Saint Etienne, step out on her own with Lipslide, a wonderfully poppy album. It still sounds vaguely like Saint Etienne, but that may simply be because her distinctive voice is so evocative of that band. “Anymore” is a delightful little gem, and you have to wonder why lesser tracks by mediocre artists regularly make it onto the radio waves. “Home” and “Goldie” both achieve a quiet grace, while “Coastal Town” and “Aussie Soap Girl” benefit from some delicate guitar strumming. Cracknell takes on the Saint Etienne habit of naming songs seemingly at random, but when they’re this good, who cares?
