I think it should appeal so some people here. Hello folks - Excuse the plug, but I've compiled this for Ace Records: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Before-Fall-Various-Artists/dp/B004IT0ZPE/ref=sr_1_1 ?ie=UTF8&qid=1298631295&sr=8-1 Approved by Mark E. Smith, Before The Fall features the original versions of 24 amazing songs covered by The Fall. It's a virtual peek into the eclectic record collection of the greatest living Englishman and features genres ranging from blues to rockabilly, trucking music to disco and soul, reggae to garage-punk and novelty pop to folk. All the tracks were covered on singles, albums or radio sessions by The Fall between 1985 and 2010. Featuring big names such as the Kinks, Iggy Pop and Sister Sledge alongside obscure gems and rarely compiled tracks. Presented as a luxury digipack and with cover art by Savage Pencil, legendary designer of The Fall's 'Lie Dream of a Casino Soul' single cover. With comments on The Fall from several of the original artists. - ------------- I worked on this for a long time and am rather pleased with the lovely booklet. If you fancy reacquainting yourselves with the old-fashioned habit of CD buying, it'd be much appreciated. Something for all tastes (Sonics, Monks, Beefheart, Other Half schtuff should all appeal to HH patrons)..! Cheers. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2011 18:24:25 +0200 From: giluz Subject: Re: [idealcopy] Before The Fall Yeah - pre-ordered it on Amazon, already, even though I do have most of them.

MES was sitting at a desk (having broken his hip) and ordered Blaney off stage after two songs. It was rather like an office manager sacking a particularly inept YTS trainee. Turned into a fantastic gig too with several encores - MES vocalising from the dressing room. Blaney's obviously still part of the orbit as this was before the Smith/Blaney album and he's supported the Fall on several occasions recently as a duo with a girl singer. Pretty poor stuff from what I can remember. M ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V13 #28 *******************************
