In 1987 the band contributed cover songs to a pair of compilations, recording a version of the Doors' "Indian Summer" for a 7" EP included with the Chemical Imbalance fanzine, and Pink Floyd's "If The Sun Don't Shine" for the Beyond The Wildwood Syd Barrett tribute. A dispute erupted late in 1987 during the tour for Happy Nightmare Baby, resulting in Kendra Smith's departure from the band. She was replaced by Hope Sandoval for the remainder of the tour, and Roback and Sandoval would later continue their collaboration under the name Mazzy Star.
In 1989 Early Recordings was issued, a posthumous collection of rare and unreleased material, including all the tracks from the Fell From The Sun 7"/12" (Fell From The Sun, All Souls, Grains Of Sand, Lullabye), the two non-album tracks from the Northern Line 12" EP (Northern Line, Empty Bottles), plus a number of previously unreleased tracks (Empty Box Blues, My Only Friend, Brigit On Sunday, Strange Delight, Harriet Brown). The CD adds the additional unreleased track Hear The Wind Blow.
Mazzy Star has released four albums, She Hangs Brightly (1990), So Tonight That I Might See (1993), Among My Swan (1996), and Seasons of Your Day (2013). David Roback has also worked as a producer for Beth Orton.
Following a hiatus from the musical world, Kendra Smith emerged in 1990 with "Stille Im Meine Hamburg", a track from a split 7" shared with Keith Levene/Hillel Slovak. In 1992 she recorded The Guild Of Temporal Adventurers 10" EP, followed by a 1995 album for 4AD, Five Ways Of Disappearing.
