The Fall - Cerebral Caustic (Vinyl)
The Fall were an English post-punk band, formed in Manchester in 1976. The band existed in some form ever since, and is essentially built around its founder and only constant member, the late Mark E. Smith. Initially associated with the punk movement of the late 1970s, the group's music went through several stylistic changes over the years, but is often characterised by an abrasive guitar-driven sound and frequent use of repetition, and is always underpinned by Smith's distinctive vocals and often cryptic lyrics.
The band is noted for its prolific output: releasing over 25 studio albums, and more than triple that counting live albums and other releases. They never achieved widespread public success beyond a handful of minor hit singles in the late 1980s, but maintained a strong cult following. The band were long associated with BBC disc jockey John Peel, who championed them from early on in their career and cited The Fall as his favourite band, famously explaining, "They are always different; they are always the same."
Originally released in 1995 on Permanent Records, this set has been curated in conjunction with Fall expert Conway Patton and has notes by Fall guru Daryl Easlea. It has been mastered by long-time engineer Andy Pearce with art by Becky Stewart.

OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
