The Fall - '50,000 Fall Fans Can't Be Wrong'

added 02 July 2009 at 14.21

Mark E. Smith's Big Pop Album. No, really!

Mark E. Smith's bunch of Manc ne'er-do-wells have been through many incarnations, but they're always led by Smith's odd and occasionally abrasive world view. This compilation collects their finest moments, including the hit covers 'There's A Ghost In My House' and 'Victoria', the memorable 'Mr Pharmacist' and the weird 'Eat Yerself Fitter'. Plus, there's the one-off collaboration with DJs Coldcut, 'Telephone Thing'. One of a kind.

Top tune: 'Hit The North Part 1'
