 This book is a welcome distillation of the rough trade story from the labels perspective, written by prolific music writer, rob young, (editor-at-large of the wire magazine). geoff travis set up the record label rough trade as a communistic, diy alternative to the mainstream in the mid 70s, and it became one of the most influential companies in britain's music history. the label has cut countless ground breaking records by artists including the smiths, the raincoats, scritti politti, the pop group, the go-betweens, aztec camera, robert wyatt, the fall, arthur russell, ivor cutler, linton kwesi johnson, galaxie 500 and mazzy star. following on from warp, the first in the labels unlimited series, this book looks back at the history of rough trade records, tracing the changes that have occurred over the past three decades across the board; examining both the production aspect of the company and the distribution and record shops that operate as separate businesses with worldwide reputations. filled with archive images, profiles and interviews, rough trade tells the story of a label that altered the landscape of the music industry, and traces the development of independent music in britain over the past 30 years.
