History

Geoff Travis was traveling in North America and amassed a huge record collection as he moved from coast to coast. Geoff Travis is the founder of both Rough Trade Records and the Rough Trade chain of record shops Travis is an alumnus of Churchill College Cambridge [1] He then shipped these records back to the UK which became the basis of the Rough Trade Shop. The Rough Trade Shop is an independent music store in the Portobello Road district of West London, England. The label grew out of the Rough Trade Shop, founded by Travis in West London in 1976. The Rough Trade Shop is an independent music store in the Portobello Road district of West London, England. West London is the area of Greater London to the west of Central London.

Rough Trade specialised primarily in European post-punk and other alternative rock of the late 1970s and early 1980s.
