Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in Auckland, New Zealand during an incredibly prolific and chaotic period for the band, this furiously energetic live album captures the twin-drummer lineup of The Fall in its prime. Mark E. Smith's sneering, cryptic poetry cuts perfectly through the band's jagged, heavily repetitive post-punk drive.
