Hex Enduction Hour (Reissue) (Transparent Green Vinyl 2LP)

"Cherry Red are back with another deluxe reissue from The Fall; this time around, it's 1982's Hex Enduction Hour! Mark E. Smith fronts what was arguably the band's best lineup, completed with two drummers. Characteristically lo-fi, cryptic, messy, and filled with attitude, this is a must-have for any Fall fan."
- Flying Out

Double LP edition includes the full classic album on transparent green vinyl.

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.

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 another fine addition to Cherry Red’s series of deluxe Fall re-issues – Fall Sound Archive.

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
