#NowPlaying: #RoughTrade - Shaking the Foundations
1982 Canadian pressing.

Lovely synth pop with smutty lyrics. I saw this in the record shop once, back when I didn't know about them. I liked the cover and found it coincidental that there also was a Rough Trade Records. Turns out the record company was named after this band! I used to listen to this record a lot a while ago but decided to whip it out again since I found other RT #vinyl in the store yesterday.

#NowPlaying: #RoughTrade - For Those Who Think Young
1982 US pressing? It's not on Discogs so I'll have to make a release.

I knew of Rough Trade (actually only Pope) before through her collab with #ThePayolas, from a reggae compilation vinyl from my mother. They make funky synth pop/new wave with some edgy lyrics. I am a fan already, this is my first listen to this album! (I already have Crimes of Passion.) (And ~ Live! but that's way different!)

#NowPlaying: #RoughTrade - Rough Trade Live
1977 German pressing (Limited & numbered but every vinyl pressing is. 🤔)

I actually bought this album more for the concept than the music: it's all recorded live to disc. That means that during the recording everything had to be played live and had to go right first try. I wouldn't call this a live album, as it was recorded in a studio environment. I don't really know what genre it is, but it's funky and I like it.

#NowPlaying is Avoid Freud by the Canadian new wave band Rough Trade. I simply adore Carole Pope and thought she was WAY ahead of her time! The album sounds as fresh now as it did when it came out in 1980.

She's a cool blonde scheming bitch
She makes my body twitch
Walking down the corridor

You can hear her stilettos click
I want her so much I feel sick
The girl can't help it, she really can't help it now

Mazzy Star release their debut album, “She Hangs Brightly”

I had no prior knowledge of Hope Sandoval or Opal when this dropped on Rough Trade. I only heard it because I worked in an independent record store. But man was this a welcome change to what I was listening to in mid-1990.

From the opening track, perhaps my favorite, the mood is distinct. I was really drawn to the sultry vocals of Hope Sandoval, delivered with a very noticeable level of reverb, combined with clear, twangy slide-guitar. Must’ve played this continuously for at least 5 years, and I return to it often. 🤩

I decided to come out for #RecordStoreDay. Google says I'm 2 mins away from #RoughTrade. I suspect it's actually more than an hour for the length of this queue :(

“Paris Maquis" from French band Metal Urbain is the first single issued on Rough Trade, as RT001

The group had been around about a year, and had their first single “Panik” released last October in France.

Solid uptempo punk rock with crappy beats, brutal guitar noise, and bellowed angry French lyrics. Their lead singer looked a bit like a French Johnny Rotten.

By way of further comment, this is the Indie limited translucent pressing. It’s clean, centred, and sounds very solid without being spectacular. There are dynamics, but it’s perhaps a little ‘squashed’.

I’ve also got a limited numbered edition put out by #RoughTrade - but that’s staying sealed for the moment :)
