The Saints issued a compilation album, "Songs of Salvation and Sin 1976–1988" in 1990 on Raven Records with liner notes penned by Glenn A. Baker. Over the years, Kuepper had grown unhappy with Bailey's ongoing use of the Saints name and, in particular, with Baker crediting Bailey for the band's original creative direction. In April 1991, Kuepper formed the Aints, which performed versions of vintage the Saints' material. The Saints issued "Permanent Revolution" in 1991 on Mushroom Records, and while Bailey released solo albums, the group went into hiatus.
