Never caught a live show, but the Ubu set for NPR’s Mountain Stage (a live-audience venue in West Virginia, more accustomed to country acts) was a delight to ‘ear. Also RFTT reunion set on WFMU was epic (& shd be findable in the WFMU archives).

Everybody reduce sonically in 4 … 3 … 2 … 1!

Oh yes, I've seen Ubu (and the resurrected Rocket from the Tombs, as well as solo DT shows) more times than I can remember. Never saw a bad set from them, in any incarnation. They were definitely at least as good as any other great & unique band one might ever encounter.?

Very sad news indeed. I just discovered that 7 years ago, ST 37 played what was to be the final Rocket from the Tombs show with him in 2017 at Beerland in Austin. Very lucky to have seen both them and Pa Ubu that weekend.

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..?

Following the successful ‘Slates’ Live! and ‘Grotesque’ Live! releases, Popstock Records is proud to present Singles Live Vol One 1978–81 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.
