The Fall – Perverted By Language

MOV have done a good job with this considering it wasn't the best of mastering to begin with.

Good separation, sound stage is spot on. Zero siblance.

If you look at the Spectral for this album there's a strong 15KHz cutoff so assume Digital Source (Original Line CD) for this but it sounds fine.

I checked the Spectral view against an OG LP and the OG Line CD (LICD 9.00116 0). The Line CD matches almost perfectly.

Another flawless genius level work from the Fall. Look no further than the three-song run near the top. First, the evil-sounding absolute banger -- easily one of the heaviest Fall songs -- Neighborhood of Infinity. It transitions seamlessly to Garden, a great, intellectual mood track which establishes its groove and lives in it until the listener is sold. Then, you get Hotel Bloedel, one of the prettiest Fall songs. Brixe turns in her best Fall vocal while Mark layers it over with poetry. Possibly the best song of the bunch. What a wonderful record.

This is my first copy of this album. The pressing is great with no obvious surface noise or pops. Usually I am indifferent about colored vinyl but this nicely complements the art work.

Very nice sounding reissue on heavy vinyl - my copy coming in at 198g. Pink vinyl not flawless on mine though some very MES black spittle sprayed on both sides that doesn't affect play. Original inner now a 2 sided 10" insert, sleeve a very nice thick card. Worth grabbing if you dont have an original RT pressing.

Very few "rock" albums can claim that they cover the distance from experimental/underground sound up to the margins of, let's call it, conventional rock. Perverted By The Language manages that and some other (no coincedence of course) Fall releases too. Wow//

Best i've heard this album sound. Plays great - zero skips (unlike the commenters below). Take the risk I guess.

WTF? Why did they have to remove the title from the cover? They basically ruined it.

The first Fall album I bought (at the time of first release) and one that made a really strong impression. I love everything about it, especially the weirdness and the pink album cover. Eat y’self fitter!

Eat yself... always skipped on my copy. Based on that I wouldn't recommend this pressing but I may be in the minority.
