===Formation: 1990β1991=== Following a breakdown in relations between Spacemen 3 co-frontmen [[Peter Kember]] and [[Jason Pierce]], the group's bassist [[Will Carruthers]], drummer [[Jonny Mattock]], and guitarist [[Mark Refoy]] were asked by Pierce to form a new group alongside local friend Steve Evans, subsequently calling themselves Spiritualized. The band took their name from an adaptation of the text on the back label of a bottle of [[Pernod]]. Due to formation from a majority of [[Spacemen 3]] members, a technical clause meant that Spiritualized had to maintain the Spacemen 3 recording contract with [[Dedicated Records]]. The first Spiritualized release, in 1990, was a cover of [[The Troggs]]' "[[Any Way That You Want Me|Anyway That You Want Me]]"; the record heralded the official split of Spacemen 3 following contractual wrangles over the band's name and its use in Spiritualized-related promotional material (initial copies of "Anyway That You Want Me" came with a Spacemen 3 logo on the sleeve).
