"We met Etienne Daho at a show at the Arapajo in Paris, which I mostly remember for the number of pillars on the dancefloor and worse sightlines than Filbert Street. He was very warm and easy to talk to, and I knew he had written a book on Francoise Hardy, which gave us plenty to talk about. Pretty soon, we ended up recording together at Olympic Studios in Barnes (virtually next door to where Debsey grew up). Being a huge star in France, Etienne was able to get Pierre & Gilles to do the cover for what became the Reserection mini-album. What a treat! Me and Pete can be seen lurking, in our characteristic fashion, in the undergrowth." Bob Stanley
