For fans of The Fall around here - Beggars Banquet are currently re-issuing some of their old albums from the mastertapes.

great news...!

Hard to know where to start with their back catalogue, huge! I think Our Future Your Clutter was probably my favourite album of last year on reflection.

'Beggars Banquet is starting its reissue program in late 2010 with The Wonderful And Frightening World and This Nation's Saving Grace, remastered from the original master tapes. They will be limited edition 4CD and 3CD respectively deluxe box sets with singles, outtakes, radio sessions, etc.'

Also box sets and a live album (cd/dvd) at the last night of the Hammersmith Palais:

"I don't hear a hit single on a Fall or PJ Harvey record, but I sure hear music I like."

Thanks for that quote, Dr.

I love that quote, not just because he mentions Polly; it relates to all music we consider 'proper' music.
