And, even at the time, an equal and opposite sense of disillusion had taken hold of Bob Stanley. On the first anniversary of Blair's election victory, Bob went to the Granita restaurant in Islington, where Blair and Brown had famously struck their power-sharing deal, and felt a sense of emptiness which he later described in the first verse of “Heart Failed In The Back Of A Taxi”: “\u003cspan style=\"color: black;\"\u003eTook a trip down Granita way\/Had to go on the 1st of May\/Didn't have much to celebrate...\u003c\/span\u003e”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt;\" class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt;\" class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eSaint Etienne have always understood that pop music is the nearest thing we have to time travel, the closest we can get to breathing the air of a different time.

The album was completed remotely, in Hove (Pete), Oxford (Sarah) and Bradford (Bob, in collaboration with film and TV composer Gus Bousfield, who contributes to a number of tracks). Communication was handled via Zoom meetings and emails. “We had the idea for the album before the pandemic, and it was surprisingly straightforward.” The results are exceptional. “I'm really excited about the way the album has turned out,” says Bob. “It feels like something brand new.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt;\" class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt;\" class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eI've Been Trying To Tell You\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e has an internal unity, its heartbeat always at the low end of mid-tempo\/high end of downtempo, landing at the approximate pace of Tricky's \u003ci\u003ePre-Millennium Tension\u003c\/i\u003e (an album released on the very cusp of the era in question).

It's like falling asleep listening to Minnie Riperton's “Lovin' You” and coming a-dreamwake in Kew. This, it turns out, is another turn-of-the-millennium reference. “In the early series of \u003ci\u003eBig Brother\u003c\/i\u003e,” Bob explains, “when Channel 4 used to broadcast live from the house in the daytime, they'd dip out the sound whenever the housemates talked about real life people, or swore or whatever, and they'd replace the sound with quite avant-sounding field recordings of birdsong.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt;\" class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt;\" class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eThe lyrics, too, obey the fractured logic of dreams.

They met a few times, pre-pandemic, in a cafe under Shipley clocktower. “Alasdair understood the album straight off,” says Bob. “We talked about youth, and the A1, and British identity, and memories of the recent past.

Chip Shop Pop is a stellar collection of super-melodic, expertly crafted songs; it gathers two dozen of the songs that got away, all potential hits written by these Denmark Street-schooled songwriters. You might have only heard these records once or twice before, coming out of a passing kid's transistor radio, or in the background in a cafe, or a chippie, and then they disappeared into the ether never to be heard again - until now. Aside from the Fortunes, Marty Wilde and Candlewick Green, very few of these names will be at all familiar but the harmonies, the string and brass arrangements, and top session musician playing will all be familiar to anyone who loves the sound of ‘My Baby Loves Lovin',’ ‘Silver Lady’ or ‘If Paradise Is) Half As Nice.’ They are all incredibly catchy. Compiled by Bob Stanley from his sizeable collection of 70s 7\" singles, Chip Shop Pop revives records on Bell, UK, Young Blood, and Bradley's, labels that were home to these unabashed radio-friendly sounds that would disappear when first disco, then punk, came along later in the 70s. Dormant for decades, many unavailable for more than fifty years, here is a perfect collection of sunshine-friendly pop with a capital P.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01 Hello Hello Hello - Stormy Petrel 02 Melanie Makes Me Smile - Tony Burrows 03 Tip Of My Tongue - Brotherly Love 04 Lost And Found - Whiskey Mac 05 On a Plane to Nowhere - Barracade 06 Leave A Little Love - Candlewick Green 07 Lady Pearl - Currant Kraze 08 On The Run - Scorched Earth 09 I Want To Be Where You Are - Scarecrow 10 Telltale - Patches 11 Rusty Hands Of Time - Peter Doyle 12 A Little Thing Like Love - River 13 Dreams Are Ten a Penny - John Kincade 14 In the Morning - Bitter Almond 15 Every Little Move She Makes - White Plains 16 Schoolgirl Notion - Janie \u0026amp;amp; The Marlettes 17 Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again - Fortunes 18 Yellow Bird (Have You No Home) - Design 19 Clovelly - Roger Holman \u0026amp;amp; Simon May 20 I Need Your Everlasting Love - Liberty Helm 21 Bye Goodbye - Silver Lining 22 It's Getting Sweeter All The Time - Shorty 23 Caterpillar - Cold Fly 24 This Is My Life - Wei Wei Wong\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel:\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e Ace\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Proper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63003149107587,"sku":null,"price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/6872\/files\/Screenshot2026-10-23at20.01.25.png?v=1792782143"},{"product_id":"various-bob-stanley-pete-wiggs-presents-pete-wiggs-present-winter-of-discontent-2xlp-signed-by-bob","title":"Various 'Bob Stanley \u0026 Pete Wiggs Presents Pete Wiggs Present Winter of Discontent' 2xLP (*SIGNED BY BOB*)","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSIGNED BY BOB\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"modal-body\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere was plenty of genuine discontent in Britain at the tail end of the 1970s, and it had little to do with bin strikes or dark rumours about overflowing morgues. In the world of popular music, the most liberating after-effect of the Sex Pistols was that anyone with something to say now felt they could make a 7” single. \u003ci\u003eWinter Of Discontent \u003c\/i\u003eis the sound of truly DIY music, made by people who maybe hadn’t written a song until a day or two before they went into the studio. It’s spontaneous and genuinely free in a way the British music scene has rarely been before or since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWinter of Discontent\u003c\/i\u003e has been compiled by Saint Etienne’s Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs, the latest in their highly acclaimed series of albums that includes \u003ci\u003eThe Daisy Age, Fell From The Sun\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eEnglish Weather\u003c\/i\u003e. The era's bigger DIY names (Scritti Politti, TV Personalities, the Fall) and the lesser-known (Exhibit A, Digital Dinosaurs, Frankie’s Crew) are side by side on \u003ci\u003eWinter Of Discontent\u003c\/i\u003e. Mark Perry’s Sniffin’ Glue command – “Here’s one chord, here’s another, now start a band” – was amplified by the Mekons and the Raincoats, whose music shared a little of punk’s volume, speed and distortion, but all of its obliqueness and irreverence. The discontent was with society as a whole. No subject matter was taboo: oppressive maleness (Scritti Politti); deluded Britishness (TV Personalities); gender stereotypes (Raincoats, Androids of Mu); nihilistic youth (Fatal Microbes); alcoholism (Thin Yoghurts); self-doubt and pacifism (Zounds). The band names (Thin Yoghurts!) and those of individual members (Andrew Lunchbox!) had enough daftness to avoid any accusations of solemnity. \u003ci\u003eWinter Of Discontent \u003c\/i\u003eis the definitive compilation of the UK DIY scene, and a beacon in grim times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.
