The Fall - 458489 A-Sides (The Singles)

The death of Mark E. Smith earlier this year persuaded many to dive back into The Fall's vast back catalogue, but for many the entry point into their weird and wonderful world was this perfect collection originally released in 1990.

Covering the years 1984 to 1989, this era isn’t really indicative of the music before or after this period, but as time told, The Fall were capable of brilliant albums either side of this period. This was their unlikely pop phase, with some tracks even hitting the Top 40.
