Sound quality is 'A'. A little too treble'ly, bit tin'y but over all a solid recording. Not going to make a official pressing without some mix down but still solid.

the Fall Live Finsbury Park London July 27th 1986

the Fall Live Finsbury Park London July 27th 1986

Sound quality is 'B'.

Shit they play City Hobgoblins!, that's an 'A' right there based on set list alone.

Pretty good set list for the time period but the over all recording is in the 'B' range, I want to say 'B+' but I think im being influenced by the set list ie City Hobgoblins and the tracks off This Nations Saving Grace album, for some reason Bend Sinister and me never got on too well.

I can't for the life of me remember who I got these from so if you see this give a shout in the comments section so we can all give you proper thanx.

Using the original info from the original poster:

This recording is of The Fall as support (bizarrely) to The Damned at the latter's '10th Anniversary Tea Party' gigs in London's Finsbury Park. Quite how The Fall got picked for as support is a mystery, but I love The Damned and The Fall, so it was a real treat for me, made even sweeter by the fact that New Model Army were also on the bill. Anyway, the recording: this is a very good audience tape. I can't imagine where the taper stood as there's almost no crowd intrusion and all the instruments are clear and well-balanced. The set sees The Fall playing almost all of their then current 'Bend Sinister' album.

Using the original info from the original poster:

Although the sound is generally average on this recording, it is possibly one of the largest gigs the band ever played - second on the bill at the Reading Festival. They were originally third, but Spear of Destiny pulled out, leaving The Fall playing immediately before headliners The Mission. This period was the band's commercial peak, and the set is largely comprised of songs from 'The Frenz Experiment' and singles of that period.

the Fall Country On the Click (Original Pulled Mix)

the Fall Country On the Click (Original Pulled Mix)

Sound quality is 'A'.

For those who don't know the reason that the lp was named "the New Real Fall lp Formerly Country On the Click" was that the original miz of the lp was leaked over the interent before it was pressed. This inturn pist off MES enough to pull the lp and re record the whole thing, and I for one am glad he did.

This would have been a really good album as is, nothing to special but solid, but what came out of the whole situation was one of my tp 5 Fall albums.

The re recorded UK and USA versions are even different mixes of the songs so in essence if like me you bought both you got pretty much 2 different lps, sorta. My fav version being the USA final mix that was issued. Here we find a coupla tracks dropped off the album and see a 3rd track listing for the lp (the final UK & USA version vary slightly)

So to make for a complete set and to get the base understanding behind what became some great songs I give you the original mix of Country On the click.

the Fall Live BBC Mixing It Session Feb 10th 2006

Sound quality is 'A'.

Originally recorded in October 2005 at BBC Maida Vale Studio 4,
this session was not broadcast until the following February.
BBC Radio 3 has traditionally been dedicated to classical music,
although they have diversified a little in recent years.
"Mixing It" is a "new music" programme.

"Higgle-Dy-Piggle-Dy" is a cover version of a song originally
performed by The Monks, a group who formed in the early 1960s
as American GIs based in Germany. They would perform with
tonsured heads and in monks' habits.

"Higgle-Dy-Piggle-Dy" features the BBC Maida Vale Hammond organ
"Midnight in Aspen" features the Maida Vale celeste

Note: due to mediafires free user policy of 100megs per file this will be a 2 zip file post. Total post size is 102megs. lol.

As per the unofficial Fall website (used to be the official):
A mysterious CD called Scherzo Schist has found its way into select mailboxes (not mine, needless to say). At least three Fall forumers have scored a copy. I believe a generous eBay seller is sending it to his Fall customers. The tracks according to Emzical with updates in italics.

Well I also got one so sorry people, I got this and King Of Moscow Road (Rarities Bootleg) on the same day from someone I don't know. No return address or anything just a postal stamp from the UK.

Now in all fairness I'm a Fall supporter big time, have almost all the pressings on vinyl (even the new shit) and on cd and on reissued cd and in some cases re reissued cd. I generally say "Fuck" when I hear MES is re issuing something because I know I'll sell even your mother to be able to afford it.

So when I got these in a mail I kinda thought that maybe MES sent them to me in thanx for all the support over the years. Well as daft as that sounds it makes me laugh.
