[3] The Servants appeared on 1986's NME-associated C86 compilation, and the band was from 1986 to 1991 the original home of Luke Haines.

[6] In 2002, Westlake released self-pressed album Play Dusty for Me (Mahlerphone) in a limited issue that quickly sold out.

[10][11] The Servants' Small Time album was well received on its 2012 Cherry Red Records release, more than twenty years after its 1991-recording.

The belated release followed the inclusion of 1990's Disinterest in Mojo magazine's 2011 list of the greatest British indie records of all time.

[14] As chronicled in an interview in US music magazine The Big Takeover (issue 53, 2004), Belle and Sebastian frontman Stuart Murdoch was a huge Westlake fan and tried to locate him in the early 1990s in hope of forming a band with him, before launching Belle and Sebastian in his school class instead.
