Rough TradeSam Fender You Can't Always Get What You Want CD

Taken from this year's John Lewis Christmas Ad campaign, Sam Fender releases his cover of The Rolling Stones classic You Can't Always Get What You Want, released on this exclusive CD.

Self-produced alongside his band mates, the song was recorded up in Newcastle and features the children’s choir from the John Spence Community High School in North Shields, where Sam was a former pupil, and brass from the Easington Colliery Band.

Sam Fender: "It was a privilege to re-work such an iconic song by such a legendary band. In the spirit of Christmas, we re-recorded the children’s choir with the kids from my old school, John Spence Community High School, and we arranged a brass section with the Easington Colliery Band."

The single features Sam's 2020 cover of Lindisfarne’s Winter Song as B-side, previously unreleased physically.

• 1.⁠ ⁠You Can't Always Get What You Want
