Just seen an LA News article, Vaughn Oliver, graphic designer who created so many iconic covers for 4AD records has died.
https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2019-12-29/vaughan-oliver-4ad-designer-pixies-dead-obit?curator=MusicREDEF
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.
