The Fall - "Live at St. Helens Technical College '81" (2021, full album - Castle Face Records)

The mighty The Fall! The band of a lifetime, at one of their best, with one of the best sound-board recordings we've ever heard! https://www.castlefacerecords.com/pro... "Former Fall member Marc Riley discovered this bootleg recording on Twitter, then approached John Dwyer of the Osees’ label, Castle Face Records, to discuss officially releasing it. Live at St. Helens Technical College takes us back to the early eighties, and it's one of the best sound-board recordings of the Fall ever. They are on fire with all the cuts from Slates mini album plus a host of tracks from Grotesque and Dragnet." 00:00 01. Blob '59 01:05 02. Prole Art Threat 03:40 03.

I was lucky enough to have some guidance from my local record shop stoner-lords. They turned me on to many of my heroes, but once I heard my first slanted and barky Fall song, I was part of the army for life. The word prolific gets tossed around a lot. It almost seems like a slag-off in the press, as if they wish the artist would produce less so they wouldn’t have to do their self imposed job of judging releases for the rabble. The Fall is subjected to this lazy word often. Yet I can honestly say that I am SO thankful for any nugget of Fall that lands at my feet and in my brain. Live Fall performances are always a pleasure because they seem to take what already made the Fall great and push it even a bit more into the rough and bloody uncharted wasteland that is drug scorched proto-punk and heady political poetry. So, it is with great pleasure that we introduce this Fall bootleg soundboard recording to you. Recorded during one of the many strong points in the bands vast and mighty history. They really burn bright here and bring every ounce of what you expect from this formidable force. We have reached out to every surviving member of the band, the sound person, the bootlegger who recorded it and the photographer and received their blessings & help piecing it all together. Castle Face will be donating 50% of our profits to Centrepoint which helps the homeless in the Manchester area get back on their feet, so the local and deserving Fall fans get a little, and give a little back, too. Nothing but the hits here folks and as raw as you dig it. This one really is exceptional in terms of live sound for The Fall. All the stars were aligned over St. Helens that eve. And it wouldn’t be complete with a bit of Fall fan saltiness so, fuck you too, Jason.” - John Dwyer   / tremendogaraje   DISCLAIMER: I do not have any rights to the content of this video.
