VINYL = VG+
I have cleaned and play-tested both sides of the record and it plays really well and still sounds brilliant!

The record surfaces do show some signs of wear, with some light marks, especially prominent on Sing Harpy, but they don't affect the playback or listening experience and are of a cosmetic nature only. (I am happy to make a video of Sing Harpy plaaying on reques)t.

SLEEVE = VG+ Showing normal signs of wear around the edges, but not too bad, especially after thirty years.

PLEASE SEE PHOTOS AS PART OF DESCRIPTION

I'm a huge fan of The Fall and saw them live many times, never, ever disappointed! I still play their music every week and MES remains very much missed.

But this is now burnt to my Hard Drive as I'm selling a lot of my vinyl and CD collection. The kids are getting bigger and the house is getting smaller, so basically, it was either the kids or the records, sadly the coin came down tails...Thanks for looking!

ONLINE REVIEW

Extricate, the first post-Brix album, is marked by a far more melodic approach than your usual Fall joint. It's also loaded up with keyboards, nods to techno, and, in an unexpected but welcome twist, Kenny Brady's textural violin playing.

"Sing! Harpy" is as caustic and deadpan as anything in the Fall canon, riding a spare, brutal groove as Brady's scraping strings fills in the gaps. It seems as though his divorce is fresh on Smith's mind. "You know I why I hate you, baby?/ Because you make me hate you, baby," he sing-speaks on "Black Monk Theme Pt. 1", one of the band's many nods to 60s proto-punks the Monks. This immediately follows the sarcastic fake power ballad "Bill Is Dead", on which Smith sings, "this is the greatest time of my life," over and over while organs swell behind him. Extricate is a more integral Fall album than it is sometimes given credit for.
The band sounds great, especially longtime members and . Extra kudos to the solid backbeat provided by . Highly recommended.
