Feeling Vox'ish?

 

The Fall - Perverted By Language [MOVLP3321 NLD 2023 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC]

Originally released on Rough Trade Records in 1983.

I was surprised to see that Dutch reissue label Music On Vinyl were releasing my favourite Fall album this year. My UK original is not in great shape and I was keen to hear how the Record Industry pressing would sound compared to my somewhat lifeless UK original.... and I am somewhat impressed.

For me, this record would always be about Eat Y'Self Fitter which a young Blogmeister & chums could be heard reciting word for word through the streets of Manchester following late night drinking sessions...the usual routine was Corbieres, then a few pints of Guinness in the Lass O'Gowrie, followed by further decadence & ligging in FAC51 until closing time. 

This album also sees the introduction of Brix Smith who gets to lead the vocals on probably the weakest track, Hotel Blöedel. Stand outs will always be the aforementioned opener, Smile and I Feel Voxish.
