ROUGH TRADE
RECORDS
Independent label: Rough Trade Records
started life as a record shop in Portobello, run by Geoff Travis; it progressed
from distributing small independent labels to issuing its own records. The
first Rough Trade singles appeared in 1978, using RT-000 catalogue numbers and a
variety of different label designs. The label became independent from the
shop in 1982. As a record company and as a distributor Rough Trade
followed its own distinctive path throughout the '80s, releasing an eclectic
range of material and making a host of other labels widely available to the
public. It folded in 1991, but was relaunched in 2000 as part of the
Sanctuary Records group. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
This Record is a Rare irish Pressing with unique B&W Paper labels
