Thanks to David's great review, I recently bought this fantastic compilation of originals covered by The Fall. I do have to take exception with one thing he said however - that he has no desire to hear The Fall's version of any of them. While Mr H is well known as a Fall-hater, some of the songs are so bad that I just had to hear MES covering them.

I've downloaded "I'm going to Spain" (he adds a pathos which the original really doesn't deserve) and am now on a mission to find "I'm a Mummy" and "Pinball Machine" - two truly terrible songs that surely must be improved by the Fall treatment.

Anyway, whether you love or hate the Fall, it is definitely a great album
