Rough Trade specialised primarily in European Post-punk and otherwise Alternative Rock of the late 1970s and early 1980s. In the late 1980s Rough Trade branched out by issuing an (eponymous) album by Lucinda Williams . Other early signings included Young Marble Giants and Scritti Politti . Geoff Travis later launched Blanco Y Negro Records in partnership with Warner Brothers Records . Rough Trade is currently an independently owned entity -a partnership between Mr. Travis, Jeanette Lee, (a former member of PiL ), and minority partners, Sanctuary Records . Rough Trade kickstarted the career of The Smiths , who subsequently inspired a mass indie movement in the late 1980s, and then Britpop in the 1990s. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINK |
