Radiohead’s Album Designer Launches New Record Label

Stanley Donwood, the art designer for all of Radiohead’s album covers since 1994, including Thom Yorke’s solo album, plus many of their posters, has launched his own record label “Six Inch Records”. What is unique and unusual about this label is that there will only be 3 albums released with 333 copies of each. You may be wondering why so limited and the probable answer is that the process in placing the cd in a sleeve that is 6 inches square is complicated and done by hand. And the reasoning behind the larger size sleeves, Stanley Donwood stated that he believes cds to be “too small”.

The three artists who get to have their cds released through Six Inch Records are Patrick Bell, Max De Mara and The Joy of Living.
