Label GB

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

American singer-songwriter, musician and record producer. Scott Walker was born on 9th January 1943 in Hamilton, Ohio, USA. He gained fame as the lead singer of The Walker Brothers and moved to the UK in 1965 in search of success. He remained a resident of London until his death on 22nd March 2019.

After much speculation, 4AD release Bish Bosch by Scott Walker, his first studio album since 2006's The Drift. Scott began writing new material around 2009 - whilst also scoring the roh 2's duet for one voice ballet - recording it sporadically over the following three years. the end result is Bish Bosch, a tauter but more colourful experience than The Drift, with greater emphasis on processed, abrasive guitars, digital keyboards and thick silences. aided again by co-producer Peter Walsh and joined by a regular core of musicians, Ian Thomas (drums), Hugh Burns (guitar), James Stevenson (guitar), Alasdair Malloy (percussion) and John Giblin (bass). Musical director Mark Warman also played a prominent role, both as conductor and keyboardist, while guests include trumpeter Guy Barker and pedal steel guitarist BJ Cole, who worked on three of Scott's mid-seventies lps. For tracks 'sdss1416+13b (zercon, a flagpole sitter)', 'dimple' and 'corps de blah', Scott drafted in an orchestra, recording them in the hall at air studios last November. For the cover art, Scott worked closely with painter Ben Farquharson and designer Philip Laslett.
