The Fall 'Seminal Live (2025 Remaster)' coloured vinyl LP reissue pre-order (release date 5th September)
The Fall - 'Seminal Live (2025 Remaster)’ yellow coloured vinyl LP reissue.
Beggars Arkive are happy to announce a reissue of The Fall’s 1989 half-studio/half-live album, ‘Seminal Live’. Available on yellow vinyl, the album has been remastered by Kevin Vanbergen. This edition features reimagined artwork, new sleeve notes and a QR code linking to exclusive bonus assets.
The studio recordings on ‘Seminal Live’ were all new songs and make up the first side of the album. The live recordings on side two, meanwhile, are all versions of previously-released tracks. Songs on ‘Seminal Live’ are now considered Fall classics. Side one contains “Dead Beat Descendant”, and their cover of Lonnie Irving’s “Pinball Machine” is in the well-worn tradition of The Fall’s country covers.
The live side demonstrates the collage-like nature of the LP. Rather than pulling tracks from one single set, live performances were taken from shows in Vienna and Manchester mostly from 1988. ‘Seminal Live’ features one of the most celebrated line-ups of the band with Brix Smith, Craig Scanlon, Steve Hanley, Simon Wolstencrof, Marcia Schofield and of course Mark E. Smith.
This LP is released on Friday 5th September.
