The release will come in 3 formats - an 18-track single CD, a double CD and a specially-bound triple disc set with a DVD of all the band's videos. It will also feature a brand new single, Burnt Out Car. A second new single, This Is Tomorrow, will follow later this year.

London Conversations will be the start of a Saint Etienne reissues campaign, which will see the band's entire back catalogue (10 albums' worth) repackaged in the double CD format, with rare and previously unreleased material accompanying each release. The campaign will extend into 2009 and more details are to be announced soon.

Saint Etienne play a headline show as part of Heavenly Recordings' Forever Heavenly 18th birthday celebrations, taking place over 3 days at the Queen Elizabeth Hall between Sept 12th and 14th.
