With so many albums by The Fall to choose from, why not take it all the way back to the beginning? Just announced for reissue to mark its 45th anniversary (!), Live At The Witch Trials was the band's debut album, arriving just in time to disrupt the tail end of late 70s punk. In a recent revisiting review on Pitchfork, Jason Heller wrote of the album, "Smith is all sneers and snarls, delirious as he struggles against and succumbs to rock’n’roll entropy", a peerless way to describe the madness and magic that would come to define Mark E. Smith's career for decades to come. - Flying Out

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
