Fall: 50,000 Fall Fans Can't Be Wrong LP

"50,000 Fall Fans Can't Be Wrong" is a "greatest hits" compilation, originally released on CD in 2004. This vinyl edition marks the first time a complete overview of The Fall's career has been available on vinyl. When the CD was originally released it was seen as the most complete and best overview of the band's recorded work, and has yet to be bettered. Initially associated with the punk movement of the late 1970s, The Fall's music went through several stylistic changes over the years, but was often characterised by an abrasive guitar-driven sound and frequent use of repetition, and was always underpinned by Mark E Smith's distinctive vocals and often cryptic lyrics. The band was noted for its prolific output: they released over 25 studio albums, and more than triple that counting live albums and other releases. The band were long associated with BBC disc jockey John Peel, who championed them from early on in their career and cited The Fall as his favourite band, famously explaining, "They are always different; they are always the same".
