Do It Yourself
Behind the scenes
One of the defining features of the early Flying Nun releases was the DIY aesthetic.
That's Do It Yourself and Ronnie van Hout and his team certainly did that in 1981-2. Here's a selection of four early releases all hand-screenprinted by Ronnie with a little help from his friends.

Hard to believe these records are turning thirty – they sure have stood the test of time.
Ronnie's latest film work The creation of the world is currently showing between sunset and sunrise on Worcester Boulevard across from the Gallery.
