Around the bend on Stiff Records

WHAT KIND of record company would use as its motto the phrase "reversing into tomorrow"? Which record company would define its purpose, on its first compilation album, as "undertakers to the industry"? Which record company makes records that might be great, or might be awful, by artists like Wreckless Eric, Motorhead, Magic Michael and Elvis Costello, and then quits issuing them almost immediately after their release?
