THE FALL - Slates LP Pop Punk The DamnedLP edition compiles the six tracks from the original EP release, their March 1981 Peel session and an early '80s studio outtake. Liner notes by Brian Turner. If The Fall truly is a cult band, then Slates both benefits from and reinforces such shrouded obsessions. In presenting these six particular songs as a 10 inch EP, the inherent and attractive difficulty of The Fall's sound is made physical, framing the urgency of their singles from this period
