The man who wrote the book on The Fall: Steve Pringle
Manage episode 438553798 series 3566654
If an author writes a book analysing every single, every album, every phase and every lineup change of a band, it might be a decent-sized tome.
In the case of The Fall, there's over 50 members, over 30 albums, over 500 songs and over 40 years to process.
That is exactly what Steve Pringle undertook to carry out and he achieved his aim magnificently in his definitive 650 page chronicle on the group entitled "You Must Get Them All".
It was a pleasure to talk to Steve and drill down on what made the Fall the wonderful and frightening group that they were. This is the first of two podcasts with Steve and in the second he'll be revealing where to start for those new to the group and their work.
Be expertly briefed each week on a wide variety of intriguing musical topics.
