    Just seen an LA News article, Vaughn Oliver, graphic designer who created so many iconic covers for 4AD records has died.

    I can’t even see a mention of 4AD without having a mental image of a Pixies, Breeders, Cocteau Twins or Lush album sleeve.
    ☹️ RIP Vaughan.

    Sad that, only 62. So many classic sleeves. I shall change my LPs on my wall display in tribute to the man.

    I was a fan of all of 4AD’s art work.
