Description
Having known Fall leader Mark E. Smith since 1977, Manchester-based music writer Mick Middles is ideally placed to pen this authorised biography of this most inscrutable of bands. Written with the full co-operation of Smith, the text details some 26 years on the fringe of the Manchester punk scene, three dozen albums, endless touring, two successfully staged plays and numerous spoken-word events.
