@dannyno_01 @fallfuturepast @Stephenhanley6 @hanleyPa Yep, and on the insert too. Check out Craig Robertson's 'Chris Knox - Not Given Lightly' (@AUPBooks) for more on the 'four day party' at Lincoln St, where 'Fall In A Hole' was conceived.
From the NZ Papers Past 'Rip It Up' magazine archive Sept 1982: Two photographs published with George Kay's story 'The Fall Of Slick'. Uncredited when published, they were taken by Carol Tippet in Lincoln St, Ponsonby, in central Auckland @fallfuturepast @Stephenhanley6 @hanleyPa
(And if you were wondering about the band’s arrival at Christchurch airport, and the photo on the cover of ‘Fall In A Hole’): “There was nobody at the airport - just five guys with long hair saying ‘Get in the van!”
"... they gave us the time to prove ourselves. I respect them for that; they could very easily have listened to the Aussies and taken it as read we were little more than a new form of headache." @fallfuturepast @Stephenhanley6 @hanleyPa (photo © 1982 by @pointthatthing)
(To conclude my trip through the long shadow cast by The Fall’s 1982 NZ tour, here’s the final word from Mark Smith, quoted from his autobiography ‘Renegade’): “They were right behind us in New Zealand though. They were brilliant. All the local labels put us up in their houses...
4) And in 'The Clean - In The Dreamlife You Need A Rubber Soul' by Richard Langston @richlangston2, also published by @AUPBooks and available internationally via @feralhouse
From the NZ Papers Past 'Rip It Up' magazine archive: August 1983, p4. Russell Brown heralds the forthcoming Flying Nun release of 'Fall In A Hole'. Aerogram from Manchester has been received at Nun HQ, Mark Smith is onboard, all is well. @fallfuturepast @Stephenhanley6 @hanleyPa
From the NZ Papers Past 'Rip It Up' magazine archive: January 1983, p3. Chris Knox lists his favourite records of 1982 - no. 1 is the as yet unreleased 'The Fall - Live Tapes from Mainstreet'. 'Fall In A Hole' proper is still a year away. @fallfuturepast @Stephenhanley6 @hanleyPa
From the NZ Papers Past 'Rip It Up' magazine archive Sept 1982: 'The Fall Of Slick'. George Kay meets Mark Smith at the Holiday Lodge, Christchurch. Smith "arrives from the shops with a bottle of Rochdale dry cider among other things." @fallfuturepast @Stephenhanley6 @hanleyPa
From the NZ Papers Past 'Rip It Up' magazine archive: August 1981. First Fall releases in New Zealand, on Rough Trade via EMI. 'Grotesque' and 'Totally Wired', both briefly in the Top 40. In good company with Pere Ubu & Cabaret Voltaire. @fallfuturepast @Stephenhanley6 @hanleyPa
From the NZ Papers Past 'Rip It Up' magazine archive: August 1982, page 1. Chris Knox winds up his Fall story with the latest news from Australia. Pretty much as @Stephenhanley6 remembered it in 'The Big Midweek'. @fallfuturepast @hanleyPa
From the NZ Papers Past 'Rip It Up' magazine archive: August 1982 ad for Sounds Unlimited Records. Mark E. Smith & The Fall signing albums in store, sometime 12-2 August 21! Hex was $11.99 now $9.49 ! Free Hex poster with each LP or tape! @fallfuturepast @hanleyPa @Stephenhanley6
