2CD and 2LP release featuring 'King of the Sun' and a completely new recording with new versions of each track, titled 'King of the Midnight Sun'. With 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'.
