The Fall - Real New Fall LP Formerly 'Country On The Click'

One of The Fall’s most infamous albums is final re- issued in its original intended running order on vinyl. • ‘The Real New Fall LP (Formerly Country on the Click)’ is the 23rd studio album by The Fall. • Originally released in the UK in 2003, recorded at Lisa Stansfield’s Gracieland Studios 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’. Promotional copies were sent out and three of the new songs were previewed in the bands 23rd Peel Session, but Mark E Smith was unhappy with the mix and decided it needed further work. Pitchfork called it “as valuable an album as anything The Fall ever released in the 1990s” and stated that “Smith’s lyrics are at a near career-best of insolence and nonsense.” AllMusic wrote that the album “gives the faithful another reason to believe”

The Guardian viewed Smith as being “on magnificently mad form

Uncut called it “Great by Smith’s standards

Practically genius by everybody else’s.” MOJO reviewed it as “as good as anything in this groups monstrous catalogue”

Pop Matters called it “their best record in a decade. This is the first time this album has been released on vinyl in this original intended running order, as the original 2003 pressing was pressed with the wrong running order and was never corrected – until NOW! Released on red yellow vinyl especially for RSD.
