My Life in the Bush of Ghosts
Rough Trade 50th Anniversary Editions
1981: Brian Eno and David Byrne - My Life in the Bush of Ghosts
A monument of experimental percussion, tape looping, found sound and sweet serendipity, Eno & Byrne’s first collaboration curated snippets of evangelist preachers, Algerian chants and US talk shows and tethered them to Afrobeat, funk, electronica. Visionary in 1981, it still sounds wildly futuristic today.
Includes
- Rough Trade Exclusive Mint Green vinyl
- Insert with exclusive stories and interviews with the people behind the music
- Limited to 1500 copies.
Tracklist
- America Is Waiting

- Regiment

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.
