Complete List of Fall Albums

-

  In 2020, I had a go at the daunting task of pinning down the exact number of Fall albums. At the time, I came up with the magic number of 158 .  I need to revise that now, partly because a couple more live LPs have subsequently been released; plus there's one compilation I didn't include first time round. The two live albums are  Out Ferroviarios (recorded at the OUT.FEST Festival in Portugal, 12 October 2013) and  Rock Against Racism Xmas Party (recorded at Stretford in December 1977).  [I'm doing a new post rather than amending the old one because WordPress - where I did the original - is now horrifically un-user-friendly.] Out Ferroviarios is a straight repress of a  bootleg ; you can hear the (middling quality) recording here . The front cover of the new release features the same cover as the bootleg; I don't know if it still has the same chronologically inappropriate photo from 1978 on the back.  Rock Against Racism Xmas Party is simpl...

The Fall's Top 20 Album Covers (Part 1)

  'It's a pain in the arse getting covers sorted out nowadays. In the past I'd just hand them the artwork and say, "Use that!" and they'd go off and knock it out in a day or two. All they've got to do is follow instructions. But it's not as easy as it sounds...' MES, Renegade This is a topic that several people have suggested to me over the last couple of years. I've tinkered with it from time to time, but have somehow never got around to finishing it. Having just run out of Monday Playlist themes (and having finished my Wedding Present blog ) I thought it was about time I sorted it out. Not for the first time, I am grateful to dannyno for rooting out my factual errors. Obviously, like all my evaluations, this list is entirely subjective. Also, I am no expert in art or graphic design, so this is simply a ranking based on what looks good to me and how well I feel it matches the contents. Feel free to disagree - as I'm sure you will! One fina...

The Fall - List of Covers

-
Image
  Someone on one of the Fall Facebook groups recently posted a link to a website that purported to be a complete list of the group's covers. Safe to say, the page was far from complete or accurate. I'm not aware that there currently is a complete and accurate list, so I thought that it was my civic duty to provide one! I have not included any of the 'semi-covers' or 'heavy borrows' such as 'Crop-Dust' or 'Athlete Cured'. I wrote about these tracks on You Must Get Them All ( 1984-88 , 1988-97 and 1999-2017 ) and on one of the Monday playlists (there'll be a part 2 and 3 at some point - links will be updated on the Fi5 main page when they appear). These are 'straight' covers, i.e. those that were credited to other writers. This would undoubtedly have been a little easier to read in table form, but unfortunately that's a bit beyond my IT capabilities. However, you can download my spreadsheet here should you be so inclined. Apart ...
