The Story
4AD's major event as a label in 1993 was a five-night festival at London's ICA. The 13 Year Itch featured live performances from the bulk of the label's artists, including the first-ever solo performance by Dead Can Dance's Brendan Perry. In addition, a limited edition CD, sold only at the shows, featured 13 exclusive tracks from the participants - good luck finding a copy.
