En 1978 el mundo era un lugar muy diferente. El Punk estaba en cenizas, Elvis no llevaba mucho tiempo muerto y John Lennon todavía iba a ser asesinado. La música llegó en forma analógica, precedida de una era digital que todavía era una mancha borrosa en el horizonte del pensamiento. Fue en es año, 1978, cuando inició el camino del sello discográfico: Rough Trade.
Con gran reconocimiento internacional por promover bandas como Buzzcocks y The Smiths, Rough Trade se posicionó como una de las principales disqueras independientes a nivel mundial.
Después de tener algunos problemas económicos durante la década de los 80 y 90, Rough Trade está de nuevo en la mira de todo el mundo al promocionar lanzamientos de bandas como: The Libertines, The Strokes, Arcade Fire y más, por esta razón, presentamos la lista de los 100 mejores discos de 2013, según Rough Trade:
