===1985–present=== The duo{{explain|reason=If Sylvia Schuster returned for Songs of Love And Praise (1972), who's in this duo?|date=January 2023}} reunited in 1985, touring [[Europe]] and releasing a compilation album, ''Black Flower'' (Bam-Caruso, 1987). (''Black Flower'' had been the original planned title of their third album.) In the 1990s, two further albums were released. ''Secret Theatre'' (1994) and ''Orange and Blue'' (1996), which contained previously unreleased material, including a flower-power cover of the song "[[Lithium (Nirvana song)|Lithium]]" originally recorded by the Seattle [[grunge]] band of the same name, [[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]]. According to the band's official website, this was intended as part of a tongue-in-cheek album called ''Nirvana Sings Nirvana'' that was aborted when lead singer [[Kurt Cobain]] died. When the recording was presented on the ''Orange and Blue'' album, Campbell-Lyons's liner notes treated it seriously and with allusion to [[Heathcliff (Wuthering Heights)|Heathcliff]] from ''[[Wuthering Heights]]''. Also, according to the website, the band still wanted to open for [[Hole (band)|Hole]] even after Cobain's death.{{Citation needed|date=July 2024}} The original group filed a [[lawsuit]] in [[California]] against the Seattle grunge band in 1992. The matter was settled out of court on undisclosed terms that apparently allowed both bands to continue using the name and issuing new recordings without any packaging [[disclaimer]]s or caveats to distinguish one Nirvana from the other. Music writer [[Everett True]] has claimed that Cobain's record label, Geffen, paid $100,000 to the 1960s band to permit the 1990s band's continued use of the name.<ref>Everett True. ''Nirvana: The Biography''</ref> In 1999, they released a three-disc CD anthology titled ''Chemistry'', including twelve previously unreleased tracks and some new material. Their first three albums were reissued on [[CD]] by [[Universal Records (defunct record label)|Universal Records]] in 2003. In 2005, Universal (Japan) reissued ''Local Anaesthetic'' and ''Songs of Love And Praise''. In 2018, a new album was released on the Island label ''Rainbow Chaser: The 60s Recordings (The Island Years)'', which featured the first two albums in a double CD package, featuring 52 tracks with 27 previously unreleased outtakes, demos and alternative versions.
