The title cleverly encapsulates the contents - the Fall's B-sides (45s) from 1984 to 1989. The Fall were a first-rate singles band, and the flip sides were often their equals. There is the odd dud here -- there are a thousand Fall songs to hear and "Clear Off" and "Mark'll Sink Us" wouldn't be high on ones list of priorities. But there are also many genuinely great tracks: "Petty Thief Lout," "Australians in Europe," "No Bulbs." It should be noted that in the Fall's turbulent hist   [ read more ]

The definitive Fall anthology, this 39-track double CD spans the illustrious career of one of rock music's most important bands. Of all the late-'70s punk and post-punk bands, none are longer lived or more prolific than The Fall. Throughout their career, the band underwent a myriad of lineup changes, but at the center of it all is vocalist Mark E. Smith. With his caustic, acerbic wit and inimitable vocal style, Smith has become a cult legend in alternative rock circles. This double-CD set is the ultimate co   [ read more ]

REISSUE. There has never been a more confrontational and uncompromising band than the Fall, and this live album from the early peak of their career captured all of their raging glory.

For the first time ever, The Fall's output from 1990?2000 is released on CD! Mark E. Smith's dour lyrical surrealism and half?chewed delivery front The Fall's corrosive, acidic take on techno, rockabilly, reggae, glam rock, and punk. There are also some bizarre cover versions, as The Fall twist beyond all recognition classics like "Lost In Music" and "Behind The Counter." It adds up to an album that is random yet oddly consistent; chaotic and abstract yet stitched together with sense by the only man who c   [ read more ]

Again working with John Leckie on production, the Fall's third Beggars album, Bend Sinister, was a distinctly down affair -- not that the Fall were ever a shiny happy band, of course, but both music and lyrics seemed like a darker corner to dwell in. Happily there was no worry that the Fall would ever go goth; one suspects Mark E. Smith would rather have his tongue removed. Still, opening track "R.O.D." makes for a distinctly lower-key start in comparison to recent leadoffs like {   [ read more ]

Originally released through Permanent Records in 1995, the album brings Mark E. Smith with his Adult Net front woman, Brix back together for a final collaboration. Also recording with Smith for the last time was long time guitarist Craig Scanlon and keyboardist Dave Bush. The album continues musically in the vein of Infotainment Scan and Middle Class Revolt with touches of techno and glam era sonic tributes.

Smith once again landed on his feet after departing a label, ditching Matador in favor of Permanent, but Cerebral Caustic is notable for many other reasons. First, of all people, Brix Smith (still going by the name) re-joined the lineup, while future events made this the last studio album featuring Craig Scanlon. Though not an original member, his guitar playing for many made the Fall as much as Smith's vision and vocals, and knowing in retrospect that this was his unintentional fina   [ read more ]

IMPORT. 2007 expanded two CD pressing of the Manchester legends' 1992 album features a bonus disc that contains an additional 14 tracks including B-sides, rare tracks, remixes and four Peel Sessions. Code:Selfish ended up being The Fall's final album for Fontana and was a back-to-basics, classic Fall album, with a harder, crunchier edge than the previous two albums(Extricate and Shift Work). As Mark E Smith said 'I'm dead pleased with it. It sounds like the way I wanna'. Comes with a 12   [ read more ]
