The Fall: An Armchair Guide

by Dave Thompson

The Fall: An Armchair Guide Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Amelodic, cacophonic and magnificent, The Fall remain the most enduring and prolific of the late-'70s punk and post-punk iconoclasts. An Armchair Guide chronicles in depth their leviathan back catalogue creating the most complete Fall discography ever published, while documenting the historical and musical background to more than seventy different LPs (plus reissues) and as many singles. The band's history is also documented year-by-year, filling in the gaps between the record releases.

Synopsis:

Like Frank Zappa, cult act The Fall are hugely prolific and their 70 album back catalogue is a daunting prospect for all but the most hardcore fans. A Users Guide assesses this leviathan oevre, evaluating each album in depth, while filling in the biographical details between the recordings.

Synopsis:

Track-by-track, album-by-album guide to the ultimate cult act The Fall's 25-year recording career.
