However the group was shattered by the death of guitarist Rick Aitken aged 33 in a climbing accident in Scotland in October 1989, just before a UK tour supporting The Wedding Present that would have re-established their profile. Stunned by Aitken's death, the band retired rather than continue. The third and fourth A Witness BBC radio sessions for John Peel were collected on an album ("The Peel Sessions"), and a single "I Love You Mr. Disposable Razors" which had been due for release at the time of Aitken's death was delayed so it could be dedicated to him. The single was issued in November 1989 on the Vinyl Drip label. The Imaginary compilation series "Through the Looking Glass 1966" included their cover version of The Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows" and "Through The Looking Glass 1967" compilation (1990) included their cover of The Doors' track "Break on Through (To the Other Side)".
