Rough Trade

Rough Trade is a multinational label that was started by Geoff Travis in 1976 as a London record-shop. It quickly grew into an independent label and distributor, collaborating with notable labels such as 4AD, Factory Records, and One Little Indian. The label's catalogue numbering system for singles/EPs included prefixes like RT### and RTT###CD for different formats. Albums were numbered sequentially as ROUGH### with extensions for different formats.In the early 1990s, Rough Trade faced financial difficulties after expanding into the US market. The US branch was shut down and the German branch ended up in the Zomba Music Group. One Little Indian provided financing and took over the label in the UK, retaining ownership of key releases like A.R. Kane albums. Geoff Travis eventually regained control of Rough Trade around 1999–2000 and re-launched it alongside Tugboat Records.

Scritti Politti is a British band that was originally formed in 1977 in Leeds. The group's founding member, Green Gartside, who hails from Cardiff, is the talented singer-songwriter and the only member to have remained throughout the band's history.
With their unique blend of pop, new wave, and art rock influences, Scritti Politti has captivated audiences worldwide. Their music is characterized by catchy melodies, intricate arrangements, and thought-provoking lyrics.
Over the years, Scritti Politti has released several critically acclaimed albums and achieved commercial success with hits like "Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin)" and "Perfect Way." Their innovative sound continues to inspire artists across genres and their influence can be heard in contemporary music today.

Back In Stock

Originally released in 1999 and only on CD, never released as an LP. Includes sleeve notes written by Green Gartside and David Gamson.

11 years after the release of previous album Provision, Scritti Politti erupted back into life with 1999’s Anomie and Bonhomie. Recalibrated, re-evaluated, re-imagined and, eventually, rewarded. Anomie and Bonhomie is the heady results of this artistic rebirth. Illuminated by the band’s stylish pure pop spotlight, collaborations with Mos Def, Lee Majors and Wendy Melvoin give the record a neon-lit, nocturnal shimmer. Hip hop flourishes sit side-by-side with heart-hitting balladry, as truly touching melodies match moments of uncompromising musical grit with their emotional impact.
