One of the most sought after psyche 7s

There's a really good compilation of songs covered by The Fall

acidgrandads.bsky.social•44 days ago

Is there now? The fall covers or the originals that they covered?

Sweet. That does look rather good.

theraygun.bsky.social•44 days ago

There's a few big Weatherall Wrong Meeting/Double Gone Chapel songs on there – Nervous Norvus and Wanda Jackson among them. $ Folding Money $ is incredible, both the OG and the Fall version

Just noted one small problem. I no longer own a functioning CD player.

Get with it daddio

I maintain that The Fall’s version of ‘Victoria’ is far superior to The Kinks. And the video’s a belter.

culturalfatwa.bsky.social•44 days ago

Wow!!

Now me too

Also, it looks like the Fall version was pretty faithful!

leegowland.bsky.social•44 days ago

What a tune!

mattmccann76.bsky.social•44 days ago

The Fall did a surprising number of covers over the years. 'There's a Ghost In My House' and 'Victoria' probably the most well-known, but 'Lost In Music' is fantastic.

Fall covers are generally magic with a few exceptions. Check out Kimble

mattflipflop.bsky.social•44 days ago

Lost in music is spectacular

billisdead.bsky.social•44 days ago

It is, as is I Can Here The Grass Grow, a late stage belter.
I could go on.

In the minority but I'm going to Spain is Great.
Wonder if Tony McPhee ever commented on the Strange town cover...
6 years ago Google would have told me instantly
