"...The company air will fuck up your face..."
Early Fall gig from Liverpool, 1978. I read somewhere that this "...sounds like it was recorded on a boombox, and, knowing The Fall, it probably was". Sound quality, then, leaves a lot to be desired, but worth adding to your collection. Loads more Fall to follow... Mark E Smith, for me, remains a maverick genius...; About twice a month I go for a beer with some ex colleagues from Prestwich Hospital, and most times we see Smith in one of the local hostleries... never yet plucked up the nerve to speak to him...
Thanks for this Skamanc. I remember seeing Mark E Smith on the Tube about 15 years ago, the day Bo Derek won the Fruit Gum award for the worst actress - she was catatonic. Every other word from Mark E. was "fuck" perhaps more than that! Terry Christian just let anarchy rule. I've still got the VHS tape somewhere. Great show.
