The initial line-up included principle songwriter Guy Chadwick, Terry Bickers, Andrea Heukamp, Chris Groothuizen, and Pete Evans. After some changes in the band's members over the years, they disbanded in the early 1990s but reformed in 2005 with a new line-up. They have since recorded two studio albums and continue to tour sporadically. In 2021, Guy Chadwick disbanded the 2005 line-up and recruited three new members to tour the US and record a new album which was released in 2022.</p>

Known often as 'The Butterfy Album' after Trevor Key's distinctive artwork, much was made at the time of its protracted birth and the weight of expectation, and the fact it was produced by fve different people. Years later, it sounds assured and confdent commercial indie, bursting with invention and melody. The re-recording of their Creation calling card, Shine On, gave them a UK Top 20 hit and Beatles And The Stones points the way to the gentler side of Oasis some years later. This re-issue replicates the original 1990 Fontana UK release with printed inner sleeve and lyric sheet and is pressed onto high quality 180g vinyl.
