THE FALL - Grotesque (After the Gramme) LP

Vinyl re-issue of the 1980 album. Includes a bonus 12" with four rare, none-LP singles: "How I Wrote 'Elastic Man'," "City Hobgoblins," "Totally Wired," and "Putta Block."

"Kicking off with the thrilling bite of 'Pay Your Rates,' on Grotesque, the Fall really started hitting its stride, with Marc Riley and Craig Scanlon now a devastatingly effective combination, somehow managing to sound exactly placed between random sloppiness and perfect precision. The sharp rockabilly leads and random art rock racket thrived on both counts, with Smith as always the mad jester ripping into anything and everything while having a great time doing so." - All Music Guide
