Text on the back cover:

Anyone who can call upon such diverse influences as folk legend Blind Willie Johnson, and the incomparable Leadbelly, spiced with a healthy respect for all things punk and rap, wil undoubtedly produce a unique collage of sound. Beck David Campbell is one of the most highly individual and critically acclaimed artists within the music industry today. Chatback Records are proud to present this fascinating series of interviews that quite literally chart his meteoric rise to global recognition. The first interview was given after the 12" release of the brilliant 'Loser', on Tom Rothrock's Bongload Records label. Beck muses about the ever encroaching pack of major record labels chasing his signature. Then it's onto the eve of the release of his debut album 'Mellow Gold' on DGC, followed by the final interview after the release of the exceptional 'Odelay'. Even with this innovative masterpiece selling the world over, our reluctant hero remains as modest and humorous as ever. Beck is unquestionably one of music's most interesting and genuine characters, rare attributes indeed for such a talented singer / songwriter.
