The Saints were an Australian rock band formed in Brisbane, Queensland in 1973. Founded by singer-songwriter Chris Bailey, drummer Ivor Hay, and guitarist-songwriter Ed Kuepper, they originally employed fast tempos, raucous vocals and a “buzzsaw” guitar sound that helped initiate punk rock in Australia and identified them with the greater international movement.

One Two Three Four is the first 7″ extended play by Australian rock band the Saints. The EP contained two cover versions of other artists’ work and two re-recorded tracks which originally appeared on their debut album (I’m) Stranded. It was originally released in the UK as both a single disc EP and a double 7″ with a gatefold shelve. An Australian edition of the EP appeared in the following month. Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, felt their versions of “Lipstick on Your Collar” (originally by Connie Francis) and “River Deep – Mountain High” (originally by Ike and Tina Turner) were “ragged but inspired”.
