  • Description


    • 1982 was a decisive year for The Fall. Their critically acclaimed album “Hex Enduction Hour” was released in March on Kamera Records, closely followed by “Room To Live” in September of that year.


     



    • This triple LP includes the full classic album plus John Peel Sessions and live recordings in Manchester and New Zealand.


     



    • The bonus 7” single is a replica of their 1982 Kamera single ‘Look, Know’, b/w ‘I’m Into C.B.’


     



    • This release is a triple gatefold on green & white splatter vinyl – the 7” is black vinyl.


     



    • Founded by its only constant member, Mark E. Smith, The Fall formed in Manchester in 1976 and were one of the most prominent post-punk groups in the world. Musically, there may have been several stylistic changes over the years, but it was often characterised by an abrasive guitar-driven sound and frequent use of repetition, always underpinned by Smith's distinctive vocals and often cryptic lyrics.


     


          “They are always different; they are always the same.”      


                                                                                 John Peel


     



    • “Hex Enduction Hour” was the fourth studio album by The Fall, building on their lo-fi production and featuring a two-drummer line-up. 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).


     



    • This is the fourth release in Cherry Red’s series of deluxe Fall reissues – “Fall Sound Archive”.


     



    • “Hex Enduction Hour” and “Room to Live” are also available on a 7-CD boxset – “1982”
