The Fall

Today’s selection from “1001 Albums You Must Listen To Before You Die” by Robert Dimery. 1979. Actually a studio album by the British post-punk band The Fall. I probably would have liked this better in 1979 but it started to wear me out about half way through.

- " Good evening, we are The Fall playing in front of a town without pity, about a city with no pity..."
- "We don't do Industrial Estate anymore. You'll get what you're given and be happy with it."
- "We have to calm down for the next one. The last time we played this number we had to evacuate the stage so I don't want that to happen again, all right? It's one we wrote in 1976 when me and the lads got together, ha ha. Psycho Psycho!"
- " This next one is about a visit to the doctors which you definitely do not need and it's called Underground Medicin...and it starts off with acapella with me and Martin...(unclear...some problems with Bramah's guiar?)...we'll carry on, Martin." (before Underground Medicin)
-"It's another old song from the days they were made out to be great they were not that good so you you didn't miss anything." (before Stepping Out)
-"This is a new one...it's so bloody new we don't even know it. It's very good though, couldn't have missed it out, not for you kids." (before Let's)
- "The alternative hit for you shits." (It's the New Thing)
- "And it's Psycho again for the second time, very sorry...Martin's very sorry as well because he's very slow." show less
