Editing Jeepster Records (section)

==Dormant period==
Despite critical acclaim for its acts, Jeepster was financially troubled by 2002 due to increasing recording and marketing costs, and an unsustainable reliance on one director for financial support. This forced the label to decline renewal of the contracts of their most successful artists and concentrate solely on marketing their existing catalogue.<ref>{{cite news|author=Sarah Birke |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/music-magazine/music-magazine-features/label-profile/label-profile-jeepster-772565.html |title=Label Profile: Jeepster - Label Profile - Music Magazine Features |newspaper=The Independent |date=2008-01-23 |access-date=2013-03-03}}</ref> Stefano D'Andrea and Mark Jones resigned from the day to day running of the label, and Joanne D'Andrea took over management of the catalogue.<ref>{{Cite web |title=JEEPSTER RECORDINGS LIMITED people - Find and update company information - GOV.UK |url=https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/03132608/officers |access-date=2024-11-10 |website=find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk |language=en}}</ref> While they were unable to retain their signed artists for ongoing releases and could not afford to sign new acts for this period, there were several additions to the back catalogue in the next few years.

The label released a Belle and Sebastian DVD in 2003, ''[[Fans Only]]'',<ref>{{Citation|title=Belle & Sebastian – Fans Only (2003, DVD)|url=https://www.discogs.com/Belle-Sebastian-Fans-Only/release/862158|language=en|access-date=2021-08-28}}</ref> and in 2005 ''[[Push Barman to Open Old Wounds]]'', a compilation comprising all of Belle and Sebastian's singles and EPs released under Jeepster.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Belle and Sebastian: Push Barman to Open Old Wounds|url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/637-push-barman-to-open-old-wounds/|access-date=2021-08-28|website=Pitchfork|language=en}}</ref> This was followed in 2006 by extended re-issues of [[Songs for Polarbears]] and ''[[When It's All Over We Still Have to Clear Up]]'', which included all their B-sides as bonus tracks.
