The Fall - Country on the Click (unreleased original version) 2003

Here it is....Psychedelic as fuck The album was recorded at Lisa Stansfield's Gracieland Studios in Rochdale between December 2002 and January 2003 with producer Grant Showbiz. The subtitle is explained by the fact that the tracks were originally scheduled for release in April 2003 under the title Country on the Click.vPromotional copies were sent out and three of the new songs were previewed in the band's 23rd Peel Session, recorded on 19 February and broadcast on 13 March 2003. Smith was unhappy with the mix and decided it needed further work, stating in November 2003: "The frustration is when people embellish what you're doing. I thought this LP was perfect round about March. But then you trust people—them who shall remain nameless—to go away and mix it and it comes back sounding like Dr. Who meets Posh Spice. You have to go back in and strip it down to what it basically was." The early mix appeared on the internet, prompting the change of name when it was finally released, to differentiate it from the mix he was unhappy with... 01 Theme From Sparta F.C. –0.00 02 Protein protection – 3:48 03 Mountain Energei – 7:07 04 Contraflow – 10:36 05 Green Eyed Loco-Man – 15:17 06 Last Commands of Xyralothep Via M.E.S. – 19:14 07 Boxoctosis – 22:34 08 Ho(e)uston – 26:14 09 The Past – 29:34 10 Mike's Love Xexagon – 31:54 11 Recovery Kit – 37:09 12 Susan Vs Youthclub – 41:19
