In June 1989, Stephenson took part in that year's Glastonbury Festival. They recorded three further albums – Gladsome, Humour & Blue in 1988, Salutation Road, produced by Pete Anderson, in 1990 and The Boy's Heart in 1992 – but sales fell short of expectations and the band were dropped by their label. After parting company with Kitchenware, Stephenson disbanded the group in 1992, but continued to record both solo and as part of a group. In April 2012 Martin completed an eleven-date high-profile tour with The Daintees playing The Boat to Bolivia album in full to critical acclaim. The touring Daintees line up since November 2010 features original guitarist John Steel (Boat to Bolivia/Jackdaw4), John's wife Kate Stephenson (Midge Ure/Sam Brown/Jackdaw4) on drums, and Lou Short (Martin Stephenson 1997/2000) on bass guitar who left the group March 2013.

An album of haunting subtlety, Martin Stephenson & the Daintees' Gladsome, Humour & Blue is not the sort of record that reveals all of its charms on the first spin. Indeed, at first the album sounds merely pretty, with Stephenson's delicate vocals and mostly acoustic folk-tinged melodies occasionally listing toward being simply twee. But after a few listens, Stephenson's masterful lyrics become more apparent. copies of Gladsome, Humour & Blue were packaged as a double LP and double-length CD including the entirety of Stephenson's first album, 1986's admirably eclectic but less artistically successful Boat to Bolivia.

But be not afeared, dear listener, for this is special stuff. An acknowledged ‘classic’ from 1988 this re-recording just polishes up a very smart thing for future generations.
