And here is the info on the formats, B-sides, poster, etc:
We can confirm that the new single I've Got Your Music will be released on 25th June 2012 on 7", 12" and digital download EP.
The 12" and digital EP come with remixes by the amazing Golden Filter and Leo Zero plus the previously unreleased Dominion Tiles, while the 7" is backed by Lullaby, an unreleased demo recording from the Words and Music by... album .
As with our Tonight single, the physical formats are strictly limited to 1,000 copies worldwide each and come in a sleeve designed by Paul Kelly.
The 12" comes with an exclusive, large 20" x 30" poster for the What Have You Done Today Mervyn Day? film. This is the second in the set of three - the first, in the Tonight 12", featuring a poster from Finisterre.

The rainy jubilee celebration is of course happening today in a very grey London, and the Buckingham Palace-held Diamond Jubilee Concert, which Barlow, Elton John and Paul McCartney are performing at, goes down tomorrow.
Here's Queen Elizabeth II's fleet of boats (over a thousand) in the flotilla going down the River Thames today.
Meanwhile, poor Saint Etienne tumble from #26 to #91 with Words And Music By Saint Etienne in the album's second week on the chart.

That brings us to Saint Etienne and their new LP Words And Music By Saint Etienne, which debuts on the UK album chart at #26. That's not a spectacular position by any means, but considering the declining chart peaks of their last three offerings — Sound Of Water (2000, #33), Finisterre (2002, #55) and Tales From Turnpike House (2005, #72) — I'm sure the band will take it.
The Et's most recent album to place higher on the UK album chart was 1998's Good Humour, which reached #18.

Here's the example video they posted on YouTube, featuring some hot-ass dude.
And here's the video I turned in this morning. (Just pretend it's hot-ass dude's face.)

After going deep into '60s pop with Good Humour, experimenting on Sound Of Water, doing electro on Finisterre and trying out the whole concept album thing on Tales From Turnpike House, if feels like this is shaping up to be the first truly Saint Etienne-like Saint Etienne album since Tiger Bay in 1994.

The :/ news: the Richard X extended mix will only be available on the limited edition (there are only 1,000 copies) 12" vinyl version of the single, which goes on sale here this coming Tuesday.
UPDATE: According to Popservations, the Richard X extended mix will be on both the 12" and the download.
Some other bits of info on the single, via a Saint Etienne newsletter email:
The shiny new single Tonight is ready to hit the shops on 12", 7" and digital download on 12th March.
The artwork follows in the grand tradition of the Specials' Too Much Too Young EP. In fact, this picture was taken at a Specials gig too. See if you can spot who sang what (hope you're enjoying this game - we are).
On the twelve inch, the first excellent mix comes courtesy of our ursine mates 2 Bears - a real beauty this, you're going to love it - and the second is from Manchester's own remix machine Club Clique. One of these days, we'll have to head up to the north west for one of their legendary do's. If they'll have us. Richard X has done an 'old school' (ie 1980s) extended mix of the song you already know and love.
And, as an added bonus, the 12" features an unreleased track from the soundtrack of our Finisterre movie.
"Manhattan" is exclusive to the seven inch. We gave ourselves the task of taking one of Scott Walker's latterday 'difficult' songs and tried to imagine how it might have sounded with a turn of the seventies Walkersound.
The EP and the 7" are limited to 1,000 copies of each, will be available here from Tuesday (6th March) at 5.00pm (GMT).
And remember kids, once they are gone, they are gone!

It's a low key but classy affair that depicts two female friends meeting up to take in a concert. Footage of SE is intersperses in with shots of various venues and city lights, which makes for a somewhat flashy three minutes.
Can't wait for this album.
