Know Your Product / Rundown Harvest February 1978)

The Saints start to rail against the punk scene and the falseness they perceived to be at its root. In fact The Saints start to rail against everything! Start of Harvest taking note of the criticisms against the bands image and not featuring them in adverts for their products! That said not a bad single. A radical step and out of keeping with the time to add horns! Strangely no other singles followed off the album. 

Eternally Yours (Harvest EMI May 1978)

Internal squabbles, disaffection with the UK Punk scene, and their label and management, made this second album for the band difficult. It comes over a year after their first and starts promisingly enough with This Perfect Day but the intent on the cover with Chris Bailey with lanky long hair continues as they aim to set themselves apart. Horns, harmonicas and acoustic guitars figure through and excellent album but still underpinned with Kueppers raw punk guitar. Picks Lost & Found, Run Down and  Know Your Product. Great but commercial suicide!

Prehistoric Sounds (Harvest EMI October 1978)

Their last for Harvest before being dumped. Losing the last vestiges of punk and turning into God knows what their sound is more introspective and bluesier. Less punky but still Baileys vocals are unmistakable. Try if you must but beware. A couple of weeks after its release the band split. 

Security / All Times Through Paradise (Harvest EMI November 1978)

Average sounding single and Harvest were still not featuring the band in its adverts!
