This Nation's Saving Grace

Rough Trade 50th Anniversary Editions

1985: The Fall - This Nation's Saving Grace

Unruly yet hypnotic, This Nation’s Saving Grace captures The Fall at their most locked-in and lethal. A serrated blend of motorik grooves, cryptic sloganeering and post-punk abrasion, its 16 tracks are a masterclass in chaos wielded with precision.

Includes

More than a record store. Since 1976.

The year 2026 marks five decades of Rough Trade. From a small shop on West London's Kensington Park Road to a global community of music heads, it’s been half a century of backing counterculture, celebrating the physical format and championing creativity. We exist to serve the die-hards and the curious alike - fiercely independent, always chasing what’s next.

This is 50.
