More than any other label, Sarah was about the art of the mix tape — most of its releases were seven-inch singles, and over the course of its existence, it released a roughly annual series of compilations drawn from them. Air Balloon Road, from 1990, features some early highlights, notably the Sea Urchins’ wimp-lust anthem “Pristine Christine” (the first Sarah release), the Golden Dawn’s unexpectedly rough and squalling lament “George Hamilton’s Dead,” and a handful of tracks by bands like Action Painting! and Gentle Despite who vanished after a solitary single.
