Gene Clark was a highly influential American singer-songwriter and founding member of the folk rock band The Byrds. Born on November 17, 1944 in Tipton, Missouri, he showcased his immense talent through his heartfelt lyrics and soulful vocals. His music captivated audiences with its introspective themes and melodic arrangements.
Throughout his career, Gene Clark's songwriting prowess shone brightly as he penned timeless classics such as "Feel a Whole Lot Better" and "Eight Miles High." His contributions to the folk rock genre continue to inspire musicians today.
Tragically, Gene Clark passed away on May 24, 1991 in Sherman Oaks, California. Despite his untimely death, his legacy lives on through his remarkable body of work that has left an indelible mark on the music industry.

The influential 4AD label was started in 1980 by music enthusiasts Ivo Watts-Russell and Peter Kent with financial help from Beggars Banquet, whose record store chain the pair worked for. Originally called Axis, they released an initial series of four 7" singles before finding out that the name Axis was already being used by another label. They quickly came up with a new name, 4AD, inspired by typography on a flyer announcing their releases. Under Ivo Watts-Russell's guidance, drawing influence from other UK indie labels such as Beggars Banquet, Postcard Records and Factory, 4AD quickly established a unique identity thanks to both the cover designs of Vaughan Oliver/v23 and the label's unique numbering system.

In 1992, 4AD entered a highly publicized Stateside distribution deal with Warner Bros. Records, opening offices in New York headed up by Robin Hurley. The label was largely run from California for most of the decade after Ivo Watts-Russell moved to Los Angeles in the mid-90s. In November 1999 it was announced that Martin Mills had taken over as chairman and relocated its HQ to London.

Decoding their unique numbering system reveals various formats like mail-order only releases (4AD), LPs (CAD), MP3 downloads (EAD), posters (FAD), videos (VAD) and more. The numeric portion of their catalog numbers
