"While Harrison was still in self-imposed limbo, in 1999 the Hamburg Blues Band offered him a regular monthly gig, which eventually led to fortuitous meeting with one Mike [M]aslen, a Spooky Tooth fan who also owned a label called Halo Records... 'Who can predict anything?' muses Harrison, who at the end of 2006 was talked into releasing an album of cover versions called Late Starter. 'I’d sworn never to sign another record deal again, but Mike {M]aslen from Halo is someone that I trust,' Harrison says." Retrieved 2017-12-05.
