In February 1979, SLF released their first album on the Rough Trade label, Inflammable Material . The band had signed a contract with Island Records , but it fell through, leaving the group to release the album on Rough Trade, their existing label. Despite the album’s independent release, it reached number 14 in the UK Albums Chart and reached Silver status, selling over 100,000 copies. Inflammable Material was the first album distributed by Rough Trade, and the first independent album to chart in the UK.
