When I saw him at a gallery in Kingston, he promised a thorough retrospective of his work with 4AD. Nothing yet but I keep my fingers crossed. And I still have the poster, Vaughan!!!!

Looks more like Larbalestier's handiwork for sure. hadn’t Oliver fallen out with Grierson (or ‘parted company’ at least) by this time? Looks more like Larbalestier’s handiwork for sure.

Surfer Rosa, in particular, has a similar feel. There was also a book of Sylvian lyrics done round about this time (Trophies), with the same design elements. Goes for a small fortune now.
