British producer, musician, and record-company CEO Simon Raymonde was one third of the Cocteau Twins and offshoot This Mortal Coil, and he’s the founder of the Bella Union records label. He’s also the son of Ivor Raymonde (as the book’s title suggests), “the legendary producer, musician and arranger for acts such as the Walker Brothers and songwriter for artists including Dusty Springfield.” Simon Raymonde’s book is a revelation, taking the reader through his time with the aforementioned, influential musical projects, and then his period with the label discovering artists as influential as Beach House, Fleet Foxes, and Father John Misty.
