}} ''Twentieth-Century Blues: The Songs of Noël Coward'' is a 1998 Noël Coward tribute album curated by Neil Tennant, who invited prominent artists of the day to reinterpret Noël Coward’s songs for the late 20th century. Profits from the albums sale were donated to the Red Hot AIDS Charitable Trust. The album yielded the double A-sided single "Someday I'll Find You" / "I've Been to a Marvellous Party" which reached number 28 in the UK Singles Chart. A Twentieth-Century Blues DVD was also released. Some altercations occurred during the recording of the album. Black Grape were originally meant to record "Mad Dogs and Englishmen", but the band withdrew due to a conflict between members; Space recorded the song instead. In addition, the final song recorded, Damon Albarn and Michael Nyman's version of "London Pride", was nearly rejected due to being, reportedly, almost unrecognisable in its original version. Tennant ordered the song to be kept, though Albarn had already agreed to make changes by that time. Suede were asked to release their version of "Poor Little Rich Girl" as a single but declined in order to focus on preparing their next album, ''Head Music''.〔Author unknown.
