In the late 1990s, Mavers renewed contact with founder member Mike Badger and subsequently two compilation albums of early demos and home recordings were released by The Viper Label (founded by ex-La’s Badger and Hemmings), Lost La’s 1984–1986: Breakloose (1999) and Lost La’s 1986–1987: Callin’ All (2001). A Japan only compilation album Singles Collection (2001) was released by Universal Music Japan containing all of the band’s singles and b-sides released from 1987 to 1991. A biography about the band In Search of The La’s: A Secret Liverpool by MW Macefield was published in 2003. The book contained interviews with many former members of the La’s including Lee Mavers, John Power, Mike Badger, Paul Hemmings, Barry Sutton, Peter “Cammy” Cammell and Neil Mavers.
