How many albums by The Fall do you own?

Oh God I just counted mine. I'm at 33. All are on CD.

I've never heard a single Fall record all the way through

actually, not completely sure I've ever heard a single Fall song all the way through, although I probably have

nations / wonderful & frightening

I've never heard a single Fall record all the way through

Well in that case...

Whoops, that's a song... not an album. This one's a good album, too, though.

LP/12"/10"/EP 33
7" 12
CD 19
CDR 9
live boots etc 37

oh and that Peel box set

CDS: 42, not including singles but including Mark. E Smith (Post Nearly Man). Also, I have not bought a live Fall CD in more than 10 years! I don't have 'Room To Live.' I was so excited when it first came out on CD but I was then infuriated that it was made directly from a scratchy lp that I never bothered to buy it when it was reissued again and again (with presumably better source/remastering?) Same with 'In A Hole,' which actually had skips from the vinyl preserved in the shitty first cd reissue.

thanks 4 the YouTube embed ilxor -- I'll have to pick up a Fall record (eventually)

one

hex enduction hour

^good one to own.
I only own two physical Fall albums, but I listen to many more.
I really love The Fall.

The community station I volunteer at has the Slates 10" and it's just so perfect.

LP/12"/10"/EP 5
CD 1
CDR 9

12. 11 vinyl. 1 CD
Live at the Witch Trials
Dragnet
Slates
Hex Enduction Hour
The Wonderful and Frightening World of the Fall
Hip Priests and Kamerads
This Nation's Saving Grace
Bend Sinister
Palace of Swords Reversed
The Real New Fall LP: Formerly Country on the Click (CD)
Fall Heads Roll
Your Future Our Clutter

Live at the Witch Trials
Dragnet
Slates/America Therein
Hex Enduction Hour
Perverted By Language
A-Sides
Are You Are Missing Winner (yeah, I like it)
Fall Heads Roll

Sorely missing the late 80's/90's. Should probably do something about that really. I wonder if the reissues are still cheap in Fopp.

right now I think I own six:

Dragnet
Hex Enduction Hour
Totale's Turn
In a Hole
This Nation's Saving Grace
Are You Are Missing Winner?

The ones I used to own before I purged my CD collection:

Grotesque
A Part of America Therein
Perverted by Language
Slates
Room to Live
Wonderful & Frightening World
The Real New Fall LP

Four:

Dragnet
Hex Enduction Hour (the version with the bonus disc)
This Nation's Saving Grace
458489 B Sides (dunno why, I think maybe I tried to buy the A sides one but something went wrong somewhere)

I don't get the whole Fall thing. Some people are not going to like them or get it. It's not going to change. Also it's none of yr business how many Fall records I own.

Six:

Live At The Witch Trials
Dragnet
Grotesque
Hex Enduction Hour
Wonderful & Frightening World Of...
This Nation's Saving Grace

I had that 2CD Rough Trade Anthology thing too but I think I sold it/gave it away.

Also it's none of yr business how many Fall records I own.

Hex Enduction Hour
The Wonderful and Frightening World of the Fall
This Nation's Saving Grace

I own about a hundred Fall items, maybe 65 CD/30 vinyl/5 DVD & DVD-audio, plus a few CD-R boots. For a couple of years I guess I was headed toward getting more or less everything, but these days I stop short of picking up most new compilations and archival live albums. But then there seems to be less superfluous Fall product being issued these days than there was around 1995-2005.

I used to own everything through The Unutterable in college (except oddly Shift-Work). Most have been pruned to a bunch of mix-CDs, but I still have my genuine purchased CDs of Live At The Witch Trials, Totale's Turns, Grotesque, Early Fall, Slates/A Part Of America Therein, Hex Enduction Hour, This Nation's Saving Grace, and In The Palace of Swords Reversed. Just tossed Perverted By Language and 458489ASides.

vinyl: Perverted By Language, The Wonderful & Frightening World of The Fall, This Nation's Saving Grace
CD: The Infotainment Scam

my most treasured Fall item is a 45 of "Totally Wired" b/w "Lie Dream of a Casino Soul"

i'm down to only 18. !!! I used to have a lot more but decided I could live with rips of a fair amount of it. so I have:

early fall
asides/bsides
witch trials
dragnet
grotesque
hex
perverted
wonderful frightening world
this nation's saving grace
bend sinister
frenz
oranj
middle class revolt
light user
levitate
marshall suite
unutterable
country on the click
and that's it. I do have rips or mp3s of all the other studio albums though.

The Wonderful and Frightening World
This Nation's Saving Grace
Bend Sinister
Your Future Our Clutter

Plus the comps:
Totally Wired
A-Sides
Peel Box

There probably should be more of the early ones in the collection but I've always been scared off by the series of supposedly dubious reissues. I guess the newest batch are probably safe to pick up though, huh

I may be conflating 2 singles? can't check - vinyl is in storage. definitely bought in 1981/82, perhaps a US-only release. believe it was on rough trade.

I've got 32 'albums', which includes box sets and 5 CD singles, plus a ton of digital albums. I hug the Peel box sometimes.

I have 20 of their actual albums and 3 compilations.

jeez, i've just realised i've got 13, mostly 70s and 80s.

6 plus the Peel Sessions box

a lot. all vinyl. 2nd only to fahey, just ahead of the oh sees & sonic youth

Amazed this isn't a poll....

17... I think. Almost all 70s and 80s. One exclusively on CD, though some doubled up on CD and vinyl. Oh, and 20 singles/EPs.

somewhere around 10 i guess

DIGITAL COPIES YOU GUYS

Zilch, zip, nada, zero, diddly-squat.

I have the Peel boxset. I also have digital copies of about 10-12 of the albums, and for everything else there's Spotify and Youtube

Still one of my favourite bands, obv <3

I counted once and got to 20, though I don't remember if I was just counting albums or singles too (only have maybe 4 or 5 singles). May have a couple more since then. Possibly the only band you can own 20 releases by and still feel like a mere ignorant dabbler in the face of TRUE FAN opinion.

(Well, I guess there are some more of those in ILM-land, but this may be the only one where I actually meet said true fans in real non-internet life from time to time and make the mistake of acknowledging one of their references, only to be shown up by further obscurantism.)

I'm a lapsed MES disciple

Winner!

if you ever need to know which "dodgy comps" are best ...

Possibly the only band you can own 20 releases by and still feel like a mere ignorant dabbler in the face of TRUE FAN opinion.

The Grateful Dead? The Misfits? The Residents?

I'm in my "have all the late '70s and '80s albums, have all the major comps (50,000 Fall Fans, Totally Wired, BBC Sessions), have about half of the '90s albums, now picking up random '90s albums and better-known dodgy comps" phase...

Possibly the only band you can own 20 releases by and still feel like a mere ignorant dabbler in the face of TRUE FAN opinion.

The Grateful Dead? The Misfits? The Residents?

Zorn, Zappa...

6 LPs + 3 CDs = 9

Looks like I've got 20, including the Peel Sessions box. Keep meaning to get more, but haven't gotten around to it.

LPs
Witch Trials
Dragnet
Totale's Turn
Grotesque
Room to Live
Hex
This Nation's....
I Am Curious...
A-Sides

Singles
It's the New Thing
Rowche Rumble

I wish i could find a copy of Slates to replace the one my G/F kept when we broke up in '80. After a Fall gig.

Dodgy Comp hit list:
