Legendary Radio1 DJ John Peel's favourite band was undoubtedly The Fall and between 1978 and 2004 they recorded a massive 24 sessions for the long running Peel show. It was an arrangement that was only curtailed by the DJ's tragic and unexpected death in October of that latter year. This album collects the 12 earliest songs from that illustrious history, capturing Mark E Smith's band at their rawest and most irascible, from the breakneck-paced 'Container Drivers' and 'Industrial Estate' to the more driving Krautrock headnodder 'Rebellious Jukebox' and the careering, lurching 'Mess of My'. The top notch BBC recording means Smith's vocals and mysterious but always intriguing lyrical nuggets are always clear as day, while the freedom to experiment afforded by the show ensures there's plenty of tasty musical anarchy going on too.
