Continental is an album by the British band Saint Etienne which saw original release only in Japan.
It is a compilation that includes previously released material such as the UK hit "He's on the Phone" as well as curios like their cover of the Paul Gardiner/Gary Numan song "Stormtrooper in Drag." Many of tracks were recorded during the 'wilderness' years of 1996/97 when the band worked on their separate projects. The remix versions on this album had all appeared on Casino Classics.
As part of the 2009 Saint Etienne back catalogue reissue program, the album is seeing a domestic release for the first time. It's also getting a Heavenly catalogue number - HVNLP70. The deluxe edition also includes four previously unreleased tracks.
