King of the Sun / King of the Midnight Sun Saints, The SKU: FIRELP390 Barcode: 809236139016 19.00 £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Fire Records Released Date: 17th November 2014 Buying Format: 2LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Video Description Product Info 2LP release featuring ‘King of the Sun’ and a completely new recording with new versions of each track, titled ‘King of the Midnight Sun’, including reversible artwork sleeve design. The legendary former garage-punks, recently covered by Bruce Springsteen, break new ground with two albums that are the same – but different… Why would a band re-record their new album in its entirety and then release them both at the same time? Because, as leader Chris Bailey puts it, “it’s both sides of The Saints in one package”. And so the deluxe debut European release of their “King of the Sun” features not only that album – a beautiful, expansive collection that harks back to Saints high points like “Ghost Ships” – but also a freshly recorded rock ’n’ roll take on exactly the same set of songs, recorded as live, and called “King of the Midnight Sun. Chris Bailey’s song-writing has always been key to The Saints. “My job is to come up with vignettes that make sense on a poetic, intellectual and artistic level, and in in the context of a rock ’n’ roll band, which is what I always want The Saints to be,” he says. “The Saints aren’t your average rock band. Never have been, never want to be. This is another manifestation of that.” “Worshipped… a truly great band” – NME “More stage presence than an army of attitudinal hipsters and a back catalogue to kill for” – The Independent “Chris Bailey, a distillation of [John] Lennon and… Van [Morrison], and one of the great punk larynxes” – Uncut Artist Saints, The Genre Rock And Pop Label Fire Records Buying Options 2LP Format 2LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings King of the Sun – Disc One: 1.
