Does anyone have it on slsk?
or know where to get it as a torrent?

― That One Guy (That One Guy), Thursday, 23 June 2005 00:44 (nineteen years ago) link

That'll be one massive torrent!

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 23 June 2005 07:19 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah...

― That One Guy (That One Guy), Thursday, 23 June 2005 21:07 (nineteen years ago) link

Just got it and it couldn't be better.

― That One Guy (That One Guy), Friday, 24 June 2005 20:53 (nineteen years ago) link

I just picked it up, and I cried.

*good thoughts*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 04:25 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, I think it's out in the US this week. I'm going to try and pick it up tomorrow!

THERE IS SO MUCH THE FALL OMG IT JUST KEEPS GOING

― Jimmy Mod Is Sick of Being The Best At Everything (ModJ), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 02:57 (eighteen years ago) link

I picked this up (in US). accidentally got the box wet. ugh. avoid.

― Matt Sab (Matt Sab), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 15:00 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm tempted to get this, but in my heart of hearts I know I'd rarely ever need to listen to that much Fall. It's enough for me to occasionally pull out the Slates EP and give it a spin - that seems like the ideal Fall record, just the right dose and only high-quality stuff. The 50,000 Fall Fans 2-disc set is a great bargain, but a bit too much to chew in one sitting.

ILM Fall fanaticism always puts me in mind to explore more of the band’s output for a good few hours after reading it...then my attention wanders. But this set sounds like it must be the best thing since sliced bread.

― Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 16:02 (eighteen years ago) link

i was talking about it earlier to a very sceptical colleague who couldn't understand why it was a good idea. by the end of the argument (which really did consist of me saying little more than "but it's the fucking FALL, man!" a lot) i think i'd convinced him.

they're the fucking FALL. look upon their works, ye mateys, and tremble.

I've been meaning to pick this up...record shop or via internet.

What's the cheapest you have seen it for sale? I'm just curious.

it's all about the o.

That's a great price!

only $1 for shipping!

― and I can walk out into the world, singing with my people (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 00:07 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, I never thought of using overstock. ONE DOLLAR shipping!

Not a patch on Douglas's piece of course, but my thoughts.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 01:22 (eighteen years ago) link

this is an AMAZING picture:

from the inside of the booklet

― Matos-Webster Dictionary (M Matos), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 02:18 (eighteen years ago) link

that was taken at his 60th biirthday gig when house of love, wedding present and the fall all played. there are various other versions with different combinations of people stood around him and on the stairs behind him, one of which was an nme cover the week after.

― koogs (koogs), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 10:37 (eighteen years ago) link

... 50th birthday surely?

― Raymond Douglas Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 10:41 (eighteen years ago) link

They played both 50th and 60th.

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 11:35 (eighteen years ago) link

But the photo above is from the 50th celebrations

What the?

Is it just me, or does the cover picture (not the commentary text, the cover pic itself) of "50,000 Fall Fans Can't Be Wrong" in the back of the booklet (page 41 or 42, I think) say something subtly different?

― StanM (StanM), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 12:48 (eighteen years ago) link

Go on, check it out, it's true! (page 41 of the Peel Sessions box set booklet)

― StanM (StanM), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 19:06 (eighteen years ago) link

ha! still, better than "5".

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 23:43 (eighteen years ago) link

I heard there was a "domestic version" (US) out now that's a good $30 cheaper than before...any word on this?

Happy birthday tooo youuuuuuuu!!!!!

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 24 April 2006 13:25 (eighteen years ago) link

oh yea. i have this now. one of the best things ever. look, know.

― poortheatre (poortheatre), Monday, 24 April 2006 13:33 (eighteen years ago) link

Last time I played it: 1 month ago.

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 24 April 2006 14:14 (eighteen years ago) link

ooh I am gonna rock this at my radio show today.

― sleeve (sleeve), Monday, 24 April 2006 14:31 (eighteen years ago) link

This remains the greatest product ever.

― Dr. Gene Scott (shinybeast), Monday, 24 April 2006 17:46 (eighteen years ago) link

How weird, I was just listening to it all this week as a timekiller on my flights to and from Terrastock. Genius, of course.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 04:22 (eighteen years ago) link

I am yet to fully digest it.

It is one of the greatest products ever, yes.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 09:46 (eighteen years ago) link

It does tail off a fair bit after 1987 though. Worth the cover price for the 78-87 sessions of course. The March 83 session may be the best stuff they ever recorded.

― Venga (Venga), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 09:52 (eighteen years ago) link

Whenever I look at the box, it shouts back at me: "A JEW ON A MOTORBIKE!!"

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 09:54 (eighteen years ago) link

This is one of my favorite things ever.

There is no way a person can possibly hope to disentangle themselves from the brilliance of the Fall.

And I should be shot for not having bought this already.

― Joker! Hysterical! Face! (Bimble...), Sunday, 27 August 2006 01:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Also I did finally see that BBC show on them that was discussed here I guess on another thread. I really enjoyed it. And somehow, when they showed Brix I wept. I don't know why, I just wept when I saw her.

― Joker! Hysterical! Face! (Bimble...), Sunday, 27 August 2006 01:58 (seventeen years ago) link

The Fall were a huge part of my adolescence.

― Joker! Hysterical! Face! (Bimble...), Sunday, 27 August 2006 02:01 (seventeen years ago) link

oopsy. i just discovered that i deleted my mp3inators of this box. shit.

I can barely type out how much I am enjoying this box - it's on sale several places and I got mine at a Tower Records close-out. Pure genius - was a middling Fall/MES fan for a long time - I am ragin' full on duly converted - brilliant! So many sessions (Fall 70s 80s) just extremely ahead of its time...

― SonicDeath (BlackIronPrison), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 19:08 (seventeen years ago) link

It warms my heart that you are a convert! Yes, I was jealous when I read about people who got it at the Tower close out. That means it's probably too late for me. *weeps*

i am scared

― everybody hauritz (acoleuthic), Wednesday, 30 December 2009 17:22 (fourteen years ago) link

Just dive in would be my advice.

― Neil S, Wednesday, 30 December 2009 17:42 (fourteen years ago) link

disc 1 is pretty close to being my favorite Fall "album." so kick-ass

― dmr, Wednesday, 30 December 2009 17:43 (fourteen years ago) link

No need to fear - unless it's overwhelming pleasure that you're afraid of! Also, keep in mind you may not like it all at first, but with repeated listens your favorites will shift. I especially love the few times they revisited older tracks and gave them something of a new spin (cf "The Man Whose Head Expanded").
