I suspect it's one of those cases where you want to sell your singles while the band are enormous. My unfortunate glaring wrongness as a teenager has resulted in some quite valuable 7"s. Stereophonics, Feeder, Placebo (although I still maintain Placebo's first album is great). Remember the golden days of Fierce Panda? I think Supergrass should make a million selling record again so my 7" of theirs goes up in value. An Elastica reuinion/ revival wouldn't go amiss either, especially as they were ahead of the game with the whole ripping off Wire thing that's in vogue now.
I think Che stopped a few years ago. There was a very short-lived off shoot, Rocket Girl. Lots of droney space-rock, just before it became post-rock. I have a wonderful Spacemen 3 tribute on that label. Low's version of 'Lord, can you hear me?' is among my favourite of their songs.
Shame Chemikal Underground stopped putting out good things sometime after they dropped Arab Strap.
