1995), was a compilation of tracks selected from their first two albums with additional production by Neil Finn (of Crowded House), via Virgin Records for the United Kingdom market. Their third studio album, Envy of Angels, was recorded in Wales and released in November 1996, with Hugh Jones producing (the Bluetones, Dodgy, Echo and the Bunnymen). It peaked at No. 4 in New Zealand. The band moved to London where they remained until 2000. During 1996 the Mutton Birds contributed a cover version of Blue Öyster Cult's 1976 single, "(Don't Fear) The Reaper", to the soundtrack of Peter Jackson's film The Frighteners. Their version reached the ARIA Singles Chart top 50 early in the following year. By that time Long had already returned to New Zealand and he was replaced on guitar by New Zealand-born, British-based Chris Sheehan (of the Starlings). In 1997 the band played concerts in Canada as part of the Another Roadside Attraction festival tour. They established their own label, Gravy Train Records, and issued two limited-release albums, Angle of Entry (an acoustic live album) in late 1997 and Too Hard Basket (subtitled B-sides and Bastards, a compilation of contained rarities) in 1998. In mid-1998 Gregg left and was replaced by English-born Tony Fisher on bass guitar and keyboards. The group's fourth studio album, Rain, Steam and Speed (February 1999), appeared on shhh! Records. Another live album, Live in Manchester, was issued before their 2000 UK tour, during which their line-up was augmented by ex-Garageland guitarist, Andrew Claridge. For the New Zealand and Australian tour in October–November 1999, Burge's former band mate Matthew Bannister (Sneaky Feelings, Dribbling Darts) was added to the line-up. The group returned to New Zealand in 2000. A greatest hits compilation, Flock, was released in 2002 but they disbanded by mid-year. In 2012 the Mutton Birds temporarily reunited with the line-up of Burge, Gregg, Long and McGlashan, to play at New Zealand wineries in February and early March. Another live album from that tour, Free Range: The Mutton Birds Live 2012, was issued in November.
