The Fall - Fall in a Hole [2 CD, live album, reissue, remastered]

bitrate: 320 kbit/sec

info: One of the best concert album by the fall. This is my family fovourite.

info: (wikipedia) The album was recorded at the last show of the group's 1982 tour of Australia and New Zealand and was originally only released in those countries. However, a small number were exported to the UK and, in the sleevenotes to the 2002 UK CD edition, Chris Knox, who had recorded the show, stated that Mark E. Smith had been very unhappy at copies appearing in the UK and that exports ceased at his request. The album immediately became a highly valued collectors item.

Consisting of one 33rpm record and one 45 rpm record, Fall In A Hole captures the group fresh from the relative commercial success of Hex Enduction Hour and debuting songs from its follow-up Room to Live. There is a detectable difference in the sound quality between the 2 discs; in the aforementioned sleevenote, Chris Knox states that this is due to the initial set being committed to multitrack tape through the sound desk but the encores being captured on normal audio cassette. Often referred to as simply In A Hole, the album has been reissued on CD 3 times, the first attempt (Cog Sinister 1997) being mastered from a scratched bootleg copy, complete with uncorrected vinyl skips. A 2002 reissue (titled Fall In A Hole + and issued through Voiceprint) was remastered to from a superior vinyl copy and also added additional tracks from other dates on the tour. The most recent incarnation (Castle Music, 2006) duplicated the musical content of the 2002 edition exactly but restored the original title, omitting the "+".

info: (www.furious.com) Recorded in August of 1982 on the band's first tour of Australia and New Zealand, this is possibly the Fall's best live (legal) release. It was recorded on reel-to-reel four track and stereo cassette and in some cases sounds like a studio recording. Interestingly, at the time of the show, the Fall found themselves on the Top 20 New Zealand pop chart with the just released "Lie Dream of a Casino Soul." The song is presented here in a spirited "pop success" version. The show begins with a version of "Impression of J Temperance" that rivals the original and is a fantastic, rolling show opener. It goes without saying that the material on this album is great. It's from arguably the band's best period. "Parole Art Threat," "The Classical," and "English Scheme" are all here and sound terrific. The musical impact of this initial tour of Australia and New Zealand is incalculable. It seems possible that young Peter and Graham Jefferies were in attendance during this very show. Flying Nun certainly was represented, they initially released this album. Unfortunately, the recent release of this album on Cog Sinister is recorded from a vinyl copy and has the occasional (2 or 3) skips. It features a bonus CD that was originally released as an accompanying 12" with the original.info: (wikipedia) The album was recorded at the last show of the group's 1982 tour of Australia and New Zealand and was originally only released in those countries.
