I wish I'd met the guy. He was a fuckin' genius. Jamie Reid gets an
enormous amount of credit for his "punk design" work i.e. The "Never
Mind The Bollocks" cover, but look at the amount Barney did. Everything
on Stiff, Hall Of The Mountaian Grill, they even used his stuff for 1999
Party. I wonder if there's a Barney website...........
