Radio Ethiopia
Rough Trade 50th Anniversary Editions
1976: Patti Smith Group - Radio EthiopiaÂ
The first album credited to the Patti Smith Group channels raw energy into something ritualistic and unrepentantly free. Radio Ethiopia is a sprawling testament to punk poetry, marking Smith’s bold transition toward rock stardom. Released in 1976, we’re proud to share our 50th year with such a fearless piece of recorded music.

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.
