Product Description
Brand New ~ Sealed! Official Highly Rated Reissue On Quality 140 Gram Vinyl. Includes Insert. Undoubtedly One Of The Best From Mark E. Smith & The Fall.
Bursting into the 1980s on a new label (the then-upstart, now-legendary Rough Trade) and with an augmented, audibly panicked lineup, The Fall’s ‘Grotesque’ is the true pure-bred Fall release from the Marc Riley era. Released in the immediate wake of The Fall’s most beloved single (“Totally Wired”), the album carries over that righteously famed teeth-chattering, bolstered in no small part by the drumming of new addition Paul Hanley, brother of bassist Steve Hanley and aged only 15 at the time of recording. Many significant firsts surround ‘Grotesque’, including The Fall’s inaugural production partnership with Mayo Thompson and the debut of Suzanne Smith’s wonderful artwork, both of which would play key roles in the band’s following phase. Superior Viaduct’s edition is the first time that ‘Grotesque’ has been available on vinyl domestically since its initial release in 1980. Liner notes by Brian Turner.
