Classic hits like Inner Smile segue into more recent releases, such as The Conversation and the Donna Summer-sampling Mr Haze, showcasing the band’s versatility and timeless appeal, while collaborations with The Blue Nile’s Paul Buchanan and US hip-hop collective Wu-Tang Clan only highlight the breadth of their material. Brand new single 'After All' is included next to the best bits from those records, all ahead of the band playing Glasto this year.

As for the video for Sleep, the final single from 2005’s Red Book (and another Top 10), it was made by Peter Kay after the comic and Spiteri bonded at the Live 8 all-star concert in Edinburgh. There’s more screen star power sprinkled across Texas’s back catalogue as represented in The Very Best Of 1989-2023. They are Texas and, 34 years since they recorded "I Don't Want A Lover" then watched, gobsmacked, as it reached Number Eight, even they're surprised at just how many roads the Scottish band have travelled.

They produced ten albums in all - including a clutch of tunes with Wu-Tang Clan, RZA and Method Man, one that spawned five Top 10 singles, one with an Alan Rickman video and one inspired by Al Green. Texas’s take on Al Green’s Tired of Being Alone was a standalone hit for the band in 1992, and early evidence of the full range of Spiteri’s vocal. Texas’ tour announcement comes after the release of their compilation album, ‘The Very Best Of 1989 – 2023’, which was released back in June.

We’re talking, of course, about Sharleen Spiteri’s Hogmanay duet with Dame Judi Dench on a cover of ABBA’s Waterloo. Since then, they’ve gone from strength-to-strength, topping the charts with follow-up ‘The Hush’ (1999) and releasing a total of 10 albums, including their most-recent, 2021 LP ‘Hi’, all of which are represented on the 24-track collection. As it happened, Spiteri and songwriting partner Johnny McElhone had written a song that would be perfect for the Wu-Tang, and for the album title. It cut through in America, having such traction that it became the theme tune to Ellen DeGeneres’ hit sitcom Ellen.On average, all available items are processed and dispatched within 1 business day, although this is not guaranteed.
