Rough Trade Records announces the first volume of 'Rough Trade 45s,' a limited-edition box set series compiling legendary singles released on the label during its formative years. This first volume covers the years 1978 to 1980 and compiles eight 45rpm vinyl records by Augustus Pablo, The Raincoats, Cabaret Voltaire, Swell Maps, and Young Marble Giants, accompanied by photos, notes, and interviews with the label's two founders, Jeannette Lee and Geoff Travis. A second volume will be released later this year, covering the years 1980 to 1993.
