•  Best of British is the third solo album by British keyboardist Ian McLagan, his first in nearly twenty years. Recorded in his adopted hometown of Austin, Texas with his Bump Band, then consisting of vocalist and keyboardist McLagan, drummer Don Harvey, bassist Sarah Brown and guitarists Gurf Morlix and “Scrappy” Jud Newcomb, it featured twelve songs by McLagan, two previously released on his 1985 extended play, Last Chance to Dance.
 The album was financed by his former bandmate, Ron Wood, who is featured on three tracks, including “She Stole It!”, the cautionary tale of a man, his woman and his record collection and the ode to their departed Face Ronnie Lane, “Hello Old Friend”.
