This box released in conjunction with Narnack features the original album as well as sessions, B-sides, a live show from the time and a complete disc of Demos from Chapel Studios. The Fall were an English post-punk band, formed in Manchester in 1976. The band existed in some form ever since, and was essentially built around it's founder and only constant member 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 was always underpinned by Smith's distinctive vocals and often cryptic lyrics. The band was noted for it's prolific output and released over 25 studio albums, and more than triple that counting live albums and other releases. They have 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 favorite band, famously explaining, InchThey are always different; they are always the same.Inch
