Nice!?
It's too bad the shipping for these vinyl releases is nearly as much as the record itself. These will be great for my radio show, but I'm starting to think I might not actually need a physical copy..?
thanks, Danny! JC
Blurb:
Following
the successful ¡®Slates¡¯ Live! and ¡®Grotesque¡¯ Live! releases,
Popstock Records is proud to present Singles Live Vol One
1978¨C81 released 9th May 2025. The album documents a
particularly important era in The Fall¡¯s history - it begins
with the group that recorded the debut album Live At The Witch
Trials and ends with the line-up that made Hex Enduction Hour.
In between we get a number of interesting variations on these
two seminal iterations. As listeners will hear, what is beyond
doubt is that whoever took to the stage on any given night The
Fall were always witheringly powerful. The versions of the songs
presented here are a wonderful addition the group¡¯s canon.
Frustrated
by a lack of recognition, consultation and compensation by some
of the labels putting out reissues, live LPs and compilations
from the 40-year history of the well-loved post punk group, Paul
Hanley, Steve Hanley, Marc Riley and Craig Scanlon devised a
plan to shift some of the balance back in favour of former
members of the band. They settled on something of a unique
solution: to recreate releases they had appeared on but from
live recordings taken at a variety of shows. They formed the
label Popstock as the vehicle for these releases.
