I Love To Paint (1995) is a compilation of previously unreleased and rare music by Saint Etienne. It was made available only by mail order to members of the band's fan club. It is now a collectable and sought-after item, regularly selling for high prices second-hand. In 2008, it was reissued as the first disc of the Boxette compilation of fan club material.

Songs

Regarding "Schroeder," the CD liner notes explain, "From our Charlie Brown-obsessed period at the beginning of 1994, this is the twin brother of 'Highgate Road Incident,' the b-side of 'Pale Movie.'" Schroeder was the Beethoven-adoring piano player from the Peanuts comic strip by Charles M. Schulz.

"Stranger in Paradise" is also an outtake from So Tough, and was released on the NME three-disc charity album Ruby Trax--The NME's Roaring Forty. The original composition is credited to Tony Bennett; however, Saint Etienne also pays homage to Mudhoney by referencing the song "Touch Me I'm Sick".
