History
[edit]All Saints Records is a British record label set up in 1991 by Dominic Norman-Taylor (formerly of Opal Records) [1] . Originally formed as an independent record label with distribution through Rough Trade Distribution, All Saints licensed the label through Rykodisc/Warner Bros before becoming closely associated with Warp Records for international marketing and distribution.
Its initial releases closely followed those of Opal Records which had ceased as a label in 1990, its initial release being ‘Flow Goes The Universe’ by New York artist Laraaji. Other artists followed including Biosphere, Marconi Union and Dallas Acid [2].
The label has released three artworks by Brian Eno, Mistaken Memories of Mediaeval Manhattan, Thursday Afternoon (on a single DVD) and 77 Million Paintings.
The label is named after All Saints Road in West London.
