Rough Trade Records Vinyl

Rough Trade Records on Vinyl

Rough Trade started in 1976 as a record shop in London, founded by Geoff Travis, and became a label in 1978. It shaped post-punk and indie like hardly any other: Cabaret Voltaire, Young Marble Giants, The Raincoats, Stiff Little Fingers and above all The Smiths. Later came The Strokes and The Libertines.

Here you'll find Rough Trade records, mainly used pressings from the 80s and 90s, including some from the USA. Every record is graded to the Goldmine standard, and the photos show the actual copy.
