The Fall - Hex Enduction Hour (Double Colour Vinyl Reissue)
'Hex Enduction Hour' was the fourth studio album by The Fall, building on their lo-fi production and featuring a two-drummer line-up. It was an oddity, even in 1982. Back then, the post-punk tumble had finally run dry, leaving a lightened thirst for the kind of colourful pop that would soon be cherished by both The Face and the NME - some of it excellent, but much of it the kind of fizzle that would give the decade a bad name.
Typically perverse, The Fall chose this moment to unleash a dark if not difficult album. A slab of blackened rock - arguably the band’s most rocky outcrop to date - and yes, darker than the deepest sea. It really was no surprise when ‘Hip Priest’ found its way onto the soundtrack of Silence of the Lambs.
The album was recorded in Reykjavik, Iceland and Hitchin, Hertfordshire. Featuring the classic line-up of Mark E. Smith alongside Steve Hanley (bass), Craig Scanlon (guitar), Karl Burns (drums), Paul Hanley (drums) and Marc Riley (guitar).

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice.

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.
