The Fall: Box of Ten #2 with Free Bonus Disc - Cork 21st July 2012
The Fall were an English post-punk band, formed in 1976 in Prestwich, Greater Manchester. They underwent many line-up changes, with vocalist and founder Mark E. Smith as the only constant member.
First associated with the late 1970s punk movement, the Fall’s music has always pushed & challenged boundaries, with Mark. E. Smith at the helm on and off stage, the band has always been characterised by an abrasive, repetitive guitar-driven sound and tense bass and drum rhythms, along with Smith’s caustic lyrics, described by critic Simon Reynolds as “a kind of Northern English magic realism that mixed industrial grime with the unearthly and uncanny, voiced through a unique, one-note delivery somewhere between amphetamine-spiked rant and alcohol-addled yarn.”
The Fall have been called “the most prolific band of the British post-punk movement.” From 1979 to 2017, they released thirty-two studio albums. They were long associated with BBC disc jockey John Peel, who championed them from early on in their career and described them as his favourite band, famously explaining, “they are always different; they are always the same.” Earlier this year, Smith died at the age of 60, effectively putting an end to the group.
No other band in the world can touch The Fall’s magnificence and sheer volume, which are captured here in 'Box of Ten #2'. Issued on Cog Sinister, The Fall’s official label, and following on from the “Set of Ten”
released last year, this is a limited-edition set (only 500 units) of 11 discs of previously unreleased live recordings, spanning three decades. The earliest recording taken from 1984 and the most recent 2014.
Live in Cork 2012 is a bonus disc and will not be available to buy separately.

"Menacing, murderous and magnificent. Mark E Smith's The Fall died when he succumbed to cancer in January 2018. But his legacy won't be forgotten anytime soon and this, a second box set of unreleased live recordings spans many incarnations of the band of which he once said "If it's me and your granny on bongos it's still The Fall". Smith's declarations come flying on vintage 1984 form in Hanover or chasing demonds down to Belfast in 2013. You should have been there. Now you can be."
