This is so genius it needs reposting here

i see that classic and raise you. Was taken off youtube for ages but it's back now, yay


It was filmed at the Hacienda for those who didn't know

'RID US OF SPACE BORES'

the 'kicker conspiracy' one is great as well, Beggar's Banquet were quite a big label apparently so I guess they forced them into doing promos. Among the montage of archive newspaper footy articles it has the famous shot of the England team doing a Nazi salute at the 1938 match against Germany :D

I'm listening to the 2nd comp now and i really shouldn't neglect late Fall as much as i do (to be fair i only have like 5 albums in the first place but whatever). This is some funky shizz! All of this could very well lead to me becoming an obsessive Fall fan..

Ill. I'm downloading Molecules' mix right now. I've been meaning to get into more Fall (I have Enduction, Saving Grace, and 50,000 Fall Fans), but the discography is so overwhelming I never know what to get, especially with their later output.

If I had to rank all 27 Fall studio albums in order of preference it would look something like this...

Hex Enduction Hour
Grotesque (After The Gramme)
Perverted by Language
The Infotainment Scan
Dragnet
The Wonderful and Frightening World of The Fall
Bend Sinister
Slates
Fall Heads Roll
This Nation's Saving Grace
Live at the Witch Trials
Extricate
The Real New Fall LP (Formerly Country on the Click)
Reformation Post TLC
I Am Kurious Oranj
Imperial Wax Solvent
Levitate
Room to Live
Shift-Work
The Frenz Experiment
Middle Class Revolt
The Unutterable
Code:Selfish
The Light User Syndrome
The Marshall Suite
Are You the Missing Winner
Cerebral Caustic

Excellent. Lists like these are so helpful when a band has a discography of more than 4 albums, nevermind the Fall's 20,000,000 albums. Since I do prefer the early 80's/late 70's output I figured Grotesque and Perverted would be good, I've come close to buying those several times but another album always gets in the way.

Well Perverted by Language in itself is a decent album but not a great one.

But they were making some great singles around that time and once those were added to the re-issue of the album they really made it a special one. Without those it would probably be a bit lower than 3rd. Maybe 8th or 9th.

Bump.


The Fall is one band that I've never given myself a good chance to get into. Both comps are on the DL now. Hopefully a (good) report will follow soon! Thanks for all the hard work on the comps y'all.

Thank you very,very much.

Really getting very heavily into The Fall thanks to these lists.I'm eternally grateful.
