    This guy had nerves of steels. Few have come and expressed so much. Is it good, that's something else. Its full in a way that very little is. Only just got it and I remember the posters around town from the early days. Can you imagine. Joy division, durutti column, the fall, John Cooper Clark, a certain ratio. All at the same time.

    Fantastic bass. Love Peels answer to a popular question on which Fall album to buy,To start the collection. You have to buy them all. Was his answer. RIP John and smithy

      Peel would have been absolutely gutted at missing 'The Real New Fall LP', 'Fall Heads Roll' and 'Imperial Wax Solvent'. A (second) late 2000/early 2000 trilogy of absolute bangers

      I just paid the most I've ever paid for a record just so I could have "Fall Heads Roll" on vinyl. Worth it for this song alone but the rest of the LP bangs.

I heard them first on a late night radio show out of Dallas, on the mighty KNON, the home of the Church of the Subgenius, in 1989, it was July or August, the summer between 9th and 10th grades. Oh my. They never let go of my brain, and I didn't kick them out. This one (Blindness) and Guest Informant. My goodness. I've carried them in my brain for over thirty years. Nice.
