Release Notes:
This year is Rough Trade Shops 30th Anniversary, but
the album to celebrate this birthday isn't compiled
by us. This time, it is the choices of some of our
customers, 30 of you to be precise. We requested not
only a favourite record selection from the last 3
decades, but also for fond memories and tall tales
from the culture over the counter.
Among the 30 selectors are some of those that have
guided the industry in recent years, label heads
such as Seymour Stein of Sire Records, Daniel Miller
of Mute and Laurence Bell of Domino. Also
represented are artists responsible for some of the
most revolutionary of modern music, Bjork, Thurston
Moore of Sonic Youth and James Murphy of LCD
Soundsystem. And then there are the outspoken
literaters Jon Savage and Savage Pencil, DJs Mark
Moore and Erol Alkan, fashion icons Paul Smith and
Luella Bartley, architect David Adjaye and last, but
not least, the legendary, and most loyal of regular
customers, Essex farmer Spazom.
Musically, the selection is as broad as one would
expect from our shop, one that has a reputation for
stocking a genuine alternative. The classic early
Rough Trade era is represented in style with Swell
Maps, Kleenex and Adam and the Ants, but from there
on in you are taken on a ride between musical ideas
as wide as the distance between Holger Czukay's
gentle krautrock and Afrika Bambaataa's Zulu Nation
electro-funk, Karen Dalton's Greenwich Village folk
and Matmos' cartoon musique-concrete, Bjork's
avant-pop and The Carter Family's depression-era
'lost' country. From the well known to the unknown,
from the traditional to the experimental, like the
shelves at the Rough Trade Shops in London, this
compilation is packed with the sound of revolutions
per minute.
The story of Rough Trade Shops kaleidoscopic 30-year
history provides not only a uniquely rich insight
into some of the most important movements in the
music of the last three decades - from punk to grime
via new wave, indie, hip hop, acid, grunge, jungle,
post rock, electronica, new folk and many more - it
also goes to illustrate the critical role
independent music retail has within our culture, how
increasingly rare and valuable shops like Rough
Trade are, and how they are set to once again
resurge, in this digital age, against corporate
dominance.
The album comes on two discs in a CD sized book
package including sleevenotes from the contributors,
short biographies and links on all involved
alongside some great, and previously unseen, photos
from shop archive.
