Diy Do It Yourself: The Rough Trade Story

Part authorised biography of Geoff Travis, part history of punk and independent music and part an exercise in nostalgia, An Oral History of Rough Trade will be an essential music book for serious music fans, in the vein of Jon Savage’s England’s Dreaming (Faber), David Cavanagh’s The Creation Records Story (Virgin) and Ian MacDonald’s Revolution in the Head (Pimlico).
