Very good or better overall. <br/><br/>An interesting document in the development of one of the most important indie record labels. Rough Trade began as a London record shop but soon expanded to tour promotion and releasing music under their own imprint. But it wasn't until the surprise success of Stiff Little Finger's first album INFLAMMABLE MATERIAL it debuted at #14 on the UK charts on Feb. 3rd 1979 that Rough Trade was truly established as a force in the UK music scene. This flyer promotes the band's second date on their subsequent UK tour at Manchester's famed Factory. Also on the bill are Robert Rental Essential Logic and Daniel Miller's The Normal.

Clear ink stamps for Chester and Liverpool. <br /><br />"I have a little piece of poetry by me which you have not had and so I will send it. I do not know if you will like it but it is a favourite with some of my little friends and I thought it might do for the Child's Paper. It is of course my own." <br /><br />On securing the American evangelical ammunition needed for winning the hearts and souls of pious children in England. Knill the daughter of an English evangelical missionary to Jamaica India and St. Petersburg Russia who had settled later in life as a nonconformist preacher in Chester here writes to Russell S. Cook of the American Tract Society to request more children's publications and to alert him that she will submit a poem for publication in the <i>Child's Paper</i>. <br /><br />Though the Tract Society is not mentioned by name the letter is directed to Cook at the 150 Nassau St. address where the society had its headquarters from 1847 to 1858; see the AAS 19th Century American Children's Book Trade Directory. <br /><br />Knill's request for publications carries a hint of perhaps teasing impatience noting <br /><br />"I have never had any additional 'Child's Papers' and my friends are continuously inquiring for them. What shall I tell them That they need not expect any for you will not send them Then I want some other things from your side of the World if you would be so kind as to see that that they come. I want four copies of 'Songs for the little ones at Home' and one of those little books of hymns and tunes like that you had with you here out of which we all sang together the night before you sailed. Do you remember . . . Please make them all up into a big parcel and send them straight to me here as those Edinburgh people charge double carriage. Here is the list lest you should forget. 8 additional copies of the Child's Paper for each month in this year. 4 -- -- 'Song for the little ones at home.' 1 -- -- 'Hymn Book' " <br /><br />Knill sends news of a week of revivals promises more information on the old Providence House landmark in Chester and offers to settle her accounts as needed. Knill seems likely the author responsible for the anonymous short pieces datelined Chester Eng. in the early issues of <i>Child's Paper</i> as well as at least one piece published under the name "Mary Isabella" from Chester. Records suggest Knill appears was born March 28 1835 and baptised in November of that year baptism records that year have her name misspelled Knell; by the 1861 census she is listed as married to the noncomforming minister Charles Chapman. <br /><br />Outside panels sunned and somewhat stained; a little loss to one edge from the original seal present; in very good condition quite legible. With a preliminary transcript. books
