 The seventeen songs collected here come from The Fall’s Brix Smith era, aka 
“the golden era of Fall releases.” This is a perfect introduction to the band, and as legendary critic Robert Christgau said, it’s “The only Fall record any normal person 
need own”. Originally released in 1990, this album has never been released on vinyl
in the US, and isn’t easy to find elsewhere. The band’s legendary and notorious 
frontman Mark E. Smith passed away earlier this year at the age of 60. The band’s 
output since they formed at the height of the punk rock movement in Manchester in 1976 was prolific to say the least. It’s hard to be exact, but in their four decades, 
The Fall released 31 studio albums, 5 part-studio/part live albums, 32 live albums, 
40 compilations, and Mark E. Smith also released two spoken word albums. Another high number is that of former members of The Fall. There were over 60 different band members over the years. Their high volume of quality work over the last 40+ years had an enormous influence which was extolled greatly after his death. “Smith’s work was the manna that gave a certain cross-section of music culture sustenance for 40 years.” - Pitchfork “Part musical hypnotist, part ranting madman, Smith was a singular figure in post-punk. His Mancunian accent, dry witticisms and plays on words were one of the Fall’s most constant characteristics. Their songs were odysseys into his ever-verbose psyche, marked by repetitive rhythms and melodies.” – Rolling Stone. “At various points in the band’s four-decade career, the Fall might sound like punk, hard rock, psychedelia, funk, blues-rock, jazz-rock, electropop or sheer noise. “If it’s me and your granny on bongos, it’s the Fall,” Mr. Smith once declared. The BBC disc jockey John Peel, an early and steadfast supporter, said of the Fall that ‘they are always different, they are always the same.’” - The New York Times
