OVERVIEW:
43 tracks, full sleevenotes on swanky gloss fold-out.
 
The very best of 2009 - a selection of staff favourites, best sellers and forward-thinking music that have passed over the counters of Rough Trades East and West. Counter Culture 09 is a sonic snap-shot of the year, 43 tracks jammed onto 2 discs - we love to share.
 
Always a surprising blend, we have a mess of young upstarts as always, and this year they bunch-up next to established contemporaries and a couple of old friends alike.  Fever Ray and Kurt Vile? Mos Def and Broadcast? Kid Congo and Tom Russell? You want ‘em? We got ‘em. A unique collection that could only have occurred in 2009.
