You Need a Mess of Help to Stand Alone (album)

You Need a Mess of Help to Stand Alone (1993) is an album by the British band Saint Etienne. It was the first of several compilations released by the band, assembling various non-LP tracks such as the single "Who Do You Think You Are" with B-Sides and other tracks.
