4AD is one of the most infleuntial labels to have emerged from the flashpoint of punk rock. These twelve tracks are culled from the first two years of 4AD's catalog. These are all very rare seven-inch singles, many of which have never been reissued in any other format. You'll also see the ultra-rare version of Bauhaus' first single for 4AD, on the AXIS label, the original name of 4AD. There is a [page of links] to other 4AD pages, as well as a [comprehensive history] of the label. These pages will remain active throughout 2004/2005 in honor of 25 years of 4AD.
