Clear vinyl. New artwork by The Fall collaborator Pascal le Gras. First time pressed on wax. If the kids of the future are still able to read, write and go to school, the works of Mark E. Smith should clearly be on the syllabus. A unique wordsmith was Mark Edward, criminally underepresented in the exclusive spheres of the spoken and written word. Around the time that seemed to be the end of the Fall around 1998, with the infamous drunken brawl in New York, when the long serving / suffering members of the classic Fall line up walked out on a seriously alcoholic, and abusive Smith. Mark Edward 'S' recruited a new band and created his first solo album, The Post Nearly Man; which was a kind of an experimental spoken word collage,primarily featuring Mark's unique style of language and some unaccompanied readings of Fall lyrics.
