The Fall – Live At Cedar Ballroom, Birmingham 20/11/80

Vinyl LP pressing. Describing The Fall to a new listener is a task that even the most talented wordsmith would find a problem with. A mixture of punk fury, spoken word and shamanic chanting that basks in repeated, near-cacophonous guitar riffs and tribal drum textures... it's more simple to sum the band up by stating 'that's The Fall'. Mark E Smith led the revolving door band through unrelenting decades of musical manufacture - ignorant of trend and fashion - to establish himself and The Fall moniker as a bonafide, alternative music landmark. Always at their best on stage, this collection captures them in fine form in November 1980 at the Cedar Ballroom in Birmingham, UK.
