==Post-breakup== For a brief time following Colourbox's dissolution, Martyn Young served as a producer on records by acts as diverse as [[The Christians (band)|The Christians]] and fellow labelmates [[The Wolfgang Press]], whilst former singer Lorita Grahame lent her vocals to a record released by short-lived [[One Little Indian Records|One Little Indian]] act Hit the Roof (on a cover of [[Edwin Starr]]'s "Contact"). Since then, little has been heard from any of the group members, save for a brief return to promotional duties for Martyn Young in 2001, to oversee the release of the Colourbox compilation ''Best of Colourbox 82/87''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.4ad.com/colourbox/profile/ |title=4AD - Colourbox |accessdate=2008-02-10 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080509140430/http://4ad.com/colourbox/profile/ |archivedate=9 May 2008 |df=dmy }}</ref> 4AD released a self-titled box set of four compact discs, compiling all of their catalogue (the full-length album with its companion remix album in full, a 7" mix CD, a 12" mix CD, and the first EP with two BBC Radio sessions and a previously unreleased mix of "Arena") on 21 May 2012.
