Rough Trade

Elastica was a British Indie Rock/New Wave/Post-Punk band that formed in October 1992 and disbanded in 2001. The original lineup consisted of Justine Frischmann, Donna Matthews, Justin Welch, and Annie Holland from 1992 to 1995. They were known for their energetic performances and catchy guitar-driven sound.

In 1996, Elastica underwent a lineup change with the addition of Sheila Chipperfield and Dave Bush. This second lineup continued to create music that resonated with fans and critics alike.

The final lineup of Elastica, which lasted from 1998 to 2001, included Justine Frischmann, Justin Welch, Annie Holland, Dave Bush, Mew, and Paul Jones. During this time period, they released their highly acclaimed album "The Menace" which showcased their evolution as musicians.

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.

Mother's Day

Reissue of the debut Elastica album from 1995. Akin to the spirit of punk, Elastica strains at the edges with tight, two minute tracks, its sixteen songs galloping to a conclusion in a little under thirty eight minutes. Twenty two years since it's initial release - this album is still a perfect pop album.

LP - Includes a fanzine and flexi disc, which features the track In The City from their John Peel session.
