One side is a sparkling new offering and other is the track that launched the band way back in 1990. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eIt's incredible to think that it's 35 years since Saint Etienne released their groovy version of Neil Young's 'Only Love Can Break Your Heart' as their debut single. Their forthcoming album, the wonderfully upbeat 'International', will be their 14th studio set but also their last – as Sarah Cracknell, Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs explain in our extensive and hugely entertaining interview. It will conclude a recording career that's been both tirelessly eclectic and deeply indebted to their love of classic pop music. And with the list of guests on the new album including Vince Clarke and Nick Heyward, as well as radio and television presenters Katie Puckrik and Colin Murray, it's a splendid way for the trio to bow out.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eKeep turning the pages and you'll soon discover lots of other great reads in addition to our lead feature. \u003cstrong\u003eCOSEY FANNI TUTTI\u003c\/strong\u003e,\u003cstrong\u003e ULTRAMARINE \u003c\/strong\u003eand\u003cstrong\u003e PETER BAUMANN\u003c\/strong\u003e discuss their latest releases, while \u003cstrong\u003eMATT JOHNSON\u003c\/strong\u003e remembers the making of The The's 'This Is The Day' and \u003cstrong\u003eMAX COOPER\u003c\/strong\u003e unveils his influences.

It comes in a special \"Paint Etienne\" sleeve too. See what we did there? The A-side of the record is the summery sizzler 'Glad', a collaboration with Tom Rowlands from The Chemical Brothers and Jez Williams from Doves, which has been chosen as the opening cut of Saint Etienne's 'International' album. The B-side, meanwhile, is the group's memorable cover of 'Only Love Can Break Your Heart', which sounds every bit as good today as it did more than three decades ago.
