a must have for any fan of the 4AD record label. a history of the philosophy behind the design of the sleeves, the look of the label and the difficulty of working with the bands. quite a few images from the archives. the written history is interesting, but the real star of the book is the illustrations. makes me want to pull out my old 4AD records and give them a listen again.
