The Fall - Fiery Jack

For a band that's been around forever and seems to spend their life on the road, surprisingly I've only seen the Fall once. It was around 1985 and Brix Smith was still in the band. She had a beautiful paisley guitar. I spoke to her after the gig and knocked over her beer. Oops. Fortunately she was nice about it.

Obviously when you've put out as many records as they have some of them are going to be hit and miss, and some of them haven't stood the test of time so well. But I still think this one, from a 1980 EP, is a cracker.
