		After releasing the career-spanning compilation Melting Pot the band's contract with Beggars Banquet was up and they signed for Universal Records with Burgess stating that, although he and the band had enjoyed their time on the independent record label they had made next to no money in the eight years since their first release.
		Relations with Beggars remained strong however and the band helped put together the DVD Just Lookin' 1990 - 1997 showcasing all their promo videos and a selection of live recordings from that era and b-sides collection Songs From The Other Side, both of which were released in 2002.

	CD Baby: BRITISH INVASION ALL-STARS: British Invasion All-Stars
		The British Invasion All-Stars are a 21st century band with a '60s sound, which isn't surprising because all of its members are veteran rockers who belonged to various '60s bands (some more prominent than others).
		In rock circles, the term British Invasion is used to describe the wave of British rock bands that made its presence felt in the '60s.
		The British Invasion All-Stars' self-titled debut album, which was released on the independent Mooreland Street label in 2002, shows no awareness of the alternative rock sounds of the early 2000s; the band is totally unaffected by any of the punk, new wave, post-punk, pop-metal, or alternative rock that came after the '60s.

		Jonny is as mystified as anyone over the band's sudden success in America but blames British radio for their failure to break through here - Creep did not receive a single play on daytime national radio.

	The Next Radiohead? - Idlewild could be tomorrow's big British rock band. Uh-oh. By David Samuels (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Everyone hangs out for the weekend, listening to eight or 10 bands in a row every night and—if they are lucky—getting corrupted by the publicists who are constantly moving through a haze of cigarette smoke and chattering on their cell phones.
		On "These Wooden Ideas," the band breaks new ground by writing a plausible rock song about what it feels like to be in an emotionally blocked relationship with a girlfriend who is reading too much Gayatri Spivak and Edward Said.
		On the other hand, it makes me happier to think of the members of Idlewild as important British rock stars than as guys in fl sweatshirts who drive moving vans through the wintry streets of Glasgow—which is how bands end up when they don't earn out their advances.

	Queen Are The Most Popular British Band Of All Time
		The compilers of the Guinness Book Of British Hit Singles And Albums have worked out that Queen are the most popular British band of all time.
		But the band was also boosted by events like their Live Aid set, Freddie Mercury's death, Bohemian Rhapsody being featured in Wayne's World, the Queen's Golden Jubilee concert and the godawful musical We Will Rock You.
		Now the band are touring with former Free vocalist Paul Rogers, which will no doubt bring in more record sales, and possibly the short burst of We Will Rock You by Robbie Williams at this weekend's Live 8 concert is also expected to boost sales.

	CMT.com : Cyril Davies : Biography
		This regrettably short-lived blues band was assembled by harpist/singer Cyril Davies (1932-1964) in 1963, following his exit from Blues Incorporated.
		Davies' vocals, though hardly overly impressive, had a character to them that made the group's records competitive during the early blues boom of 1962-1963, and his harp playing was second to no one in England, a powerful, alternately mournful or exultant sound.
		Nicky Hopkins subsequently emerged as a star session player in his own right, recording and performing with various bands (including the Rolling Stones) during the late '60s and '70s, and members of the All-Stars/Hoochie Coochie Men also turned up on Screaming Lord Sutch's recordings during this period, most notably his Heavy Friends album.

		Despite singer Martin Rossiter's undeniable vocal similarities to Morrissey, Olympian displayed a band whose songwriter (Rossiter) had a keen eye for blink-and-it's-gone-forever detail on subjects as dour as death and homophobia, delivered in a package that ranged from orchestral to guitar-driven mini-anthems.
		The love songs were aching and candid, and all that beauty, led by emotive guitarist Steve Mason, made the rest of the music getting attention at the time sound piddling and simple by comparison.

	Eclection's "Eclection" Liner Notes
		The band had a great deal going for them: four strong singers, rich multi-part harmonies, strong original material by two composers, deftly textured mixes of electric and acoustic guitars, and tasteful orchestration that gracefully enhanced the soaring bittersweet melodies and male-female vocal blends.
		For this British band had but one actual British member, the rest of the group hailing from Norway, Australia, and Canada; for that matter, when one of the Australians left, she was replaced by an American.
		The group are closely connected to the Fairport Convention family tree via the presence of two future members of the band, yet neither of them wrote material or took prominent lead vocal roles on the Eclection album.
