5-cd version of Country on the Click coming out..

Reposted from the Cherry Red website: https://www.cherryred.co.uk/product/the-fall-the-real-new-fall-lp-formerly-country-on-the-click-5cd-box-set-edition/ ? ¡®The Real New Fall LP (Formerly Country on the Click)¡¯ is the 23rd studio album by The Fall. ? Originally released in the United Kingdom in 2003, Cherry Red Records is delighted to present this 20th anniversary re-issue. Originally recorded at Lisa Stansfield¡¯s Gracieland Studios in between December 2002 and January 2003 with producer Grant Showbiz. The subtitle is explained by the fact that the tracks were originally scheduled for release in April 2003 under the title ¡®Country on the Click¡¯. Promotional copies were sent out and three of the new songs were previewed in the band¡¯s 23rd Peel Session, but Mark. E Smith was unhappy with the mix and decided it needed further work. Alex Linhardt of Pitchfork called it ¡°as valuable an album as anything The Fall ever released in the 1990s¡± and stated that ¡°Smith¡¯s lyrics are at a near career-best of insolence and nonsense.¡± AllMusic¡¯s David Jeffries wrote that the album ¡°gives the faithful another reason to believe¡±. Helen Pidd, reviewing the album for The Guardian, viewed Smith as being ¡°on magnificently mad form¡±. Uncut called it ¡°Great by Smith¡¯s standards. Practically genius by everybody else¡¯s.¡± Spin praised it as ¡°an atavistic orgy of recycled riffs and lifelong obsessions¡±. MOJO reviewed it as ¡°as good as anything in this group¡¯s monstrous catalogue¡±. Pop Matters called it ¡°their best record in a decade¡±. The Real New Fall Album (Formally Country on the Click) was originally released in 2003 on the Action label and contains the Fall classic Sparta FC and was produced by Grant Showbiz, this 5CD version contains the original album as well as Interim, a disc of B-sides and a live Show from the time. A 1LP vinyl version is also being released alongside. This Set as with the other Fall reissues has been compiled in conjunction with Fall expert Conway Patton and has notes by Fall guru Daryl Easlea and was mastered by long time engineer Andy Pearce with art by Becky Stewart.

Visiting UK, Oct 4-17, 2023

Alright Fuckfaces! My wife and I will be visiting the UK October 4-17. Anyone want to have a drink/some food? She has been (25 years ago) and it will be my first time. Any recommendations on neighborhoods to stay in London, Manchester, Sheffield? Our interests are food, drink, architecture, some history, I'm sure we'd like to browse some second hand/thrift shops (whatever you call them over there). Maybe we'll see some of you soon! Adam

House of All
i just heard a rather corking new House Of All track: a remix of Ayenbite. The dogs bollocks, it is. Riley & Coe played it on Aug 16th just after a completely brilliant new track from Goat. adam

Another Omega Auctions sale of more artefacts from the estate of Mark E Smith, 12 September 2023

Yet another Omega Auction of MES stuff coming up. The full catalogue won¡¯t be published for a few weeks yet, but Omega tweeted MES¡¯ Wakefield Young Drinkers Club (as mentioned on the back cover of Totale¡¯s Turns) honorary membership card as a teaser: https://twitter.com/OmegaAuctions/status/1683782425141280769?s=2 And I got hold of a pictures of a couple of other items. A draft lyric sheet for ¡°Shoulder Pads¡±, with alternate title, and a lyric sheet for ¡°Incense and Peppermints¡± by Strawberry Alarm Clock ¨C as covered of course by Adult Net in 1985: https://twitter.com/dannyno_01/status/1683912267954282506?s=20 or https://www.reddit.com/r/thefall/comments/159ixfa/another_omega_auctions_sale_of_items_from_the/ Whether you¡¯re bidding or not (which I haven¡¯t thus far), there¡¯s always something of historical interest to be gleaned from the lot images (I think so anyway).

NHS Fallcon?
I'm surprised no one's pointed out that when you get an NHS prescription these days, it comes in a printed bag displaying the words "Hey, Pharmacist." PJ
