About this album

Lonely Is an Eyesore is a compilation of music by artists on the 4AD label released in June 1987. It was originally available on LP, CD, cassette, and in a limited edition wooden box containing all audio formats, video tape, and etchings. A VHS and Beta compilation of music videos for all the songs was released as well. The CD was re-released in the 1990s. The album title comes from the track ‘Fish’ by Throwing Muses, at that time the newest signing to the label.

One of the most succicnt encapsulations of what 4AD stood for, this compilation. If anyone ever asks you whats the 4AD sound all about? then steer them in the direction of this fine collection. The video compilation that accompanied it (sadly I suspect no longer easily available) is also well worth hunting down.
