#58 - Short Circuit: Live at the Electric Circus (1978) Nov 05, 2024

Show notes

We're jumping into Mark's (well-used) time machine to journey back to the scene of The Fall's debut on record/vinyl and the last night of the historical Electric Circus venue. This 1978 compilation album offers appearances by The Fall, Buzzcocks, Joy Division, and many more! Gavin and Steve survive the sketchy journey to the venue to witness (auditorily) the final night closeout of this former-cinema turned rock club (soon to be, fittingly, turned into a bingo hall!). *Patreon episode contains full tracks.*

Show notes

Chicago later?! Not likely, mate. The lads get to investigate their hometown's namesake along with a number of other great tracks in this extremely powerful set from The Fall in 1989 (and 1990?). Sonically, it doesn't get much better than these Peel sessions.

[THIS SIDE] Peel Session 12 (1988):

Deadbeat Descendant / Cab It Up / Squid Lord (aka Squid Law) / Kurious Oranj
