Yes .......The Fall did play Deeply Vale in 1980 and here is the evidence, albeit it was not at Depply Vale but instead in a field somewhere in Blackburn Borough - moved there by several injunctions and other things. Apparently the weather was dire which might explain Mr Smiths health.
What a great gig. Band tight. Smith grumpy/angry. Sound is very clear however there is a touch of tape distortion in places.
Simply put this is the band getting into the groove.
It would be wrong to single out any one track. The interesting thing is the bile delivered by MES against the music industry and current lable bosses. Also the active displeasure that his band was too "cabaret". Things are resolved and reduced to the pure nature of the Fall in "NWRA".
Well worth a listen albeit being very short.
