Wonderful & Frightening World Of The Fall

LP (Item 686597) Beggars Banquet, 1984 — Condition: Near Mint-
Wonderful, frightening and one of the best ever albums by The Fall! The Wonderful & Frightening World Of The Fall was their first album for Beggar's Banquet, and it's got a cleaner sound than the late 70s & earlier 80s sets, but it's still as sneering as sinister as all get out. Still, the group has a penchant for insistent postpunk catchiness, which comes to light more than every before on this one, a clear benchmark for raw "college rock" to come, but historical importance aside, it's simply great for what it is. Titles include "Lay Of The Land", "2 By 4", "Copped It", "Elvens", "Slang King", "Bug Day", "Stephen Song", "Craigness" and "Disney's Dream Debased".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Near Mint - (minus)

  • Black vinyl that may show a slight amount of dust or dirt.
  • Should still be very shiny under a light, even with slight amount of dust on surface.
  • One or two small marks that would make an otherwise near perfect record slightly less so. These marks cannot be too deep, and should only be surface marks that won't affect play, but might detract from the looks.
  • May have some flaws and discoloration in the vinyl, but only those that would be intrinsic to the pressing. These should disappear when the record is tilted under the light, and will only show up when looking straight at the record. (Buddah and ABC pressings from the 70's are a good example of this.)
  • May have some slight marks from aging of the paper sleeve on the vinyl.
  • Possible minor surface noise when played.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
