Changes of life.

Influenced by Neville Brody’s design for The Face magazine, the Street Sounds Electro sleeves designed by Red Ranch eventually went on to inspire an electro cover of The Face magazine by Neville Brody. Perhaps overshadowed at the time by the music that the records carried, the sleeves were undoubtedly part of their success.

Chris Carter began his career in the late 1960s working as a sound engineer for Thames, Granada and LWT on numerous TV shows and documentaries, and received commissions for BBC shows, Colour Me Pop and The Old Grey Whistle Test. In the mid 1970s, Chris began an experimental music/sound collaboration with Cosey Fanni Tutti, Genesis P-Orridge (also working together as performance art group COUM Transmissions) and Peter Christopherson. The result was the creation of the now legendary Throbbing Gristle, Industrial Records and the birth of the 'Industrial Music' genre.
