{"product_id":"the-fall-shift-work-180gm-vinyl","title":"The Fall- Shift-Work - 180gm Vinyl","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormed in 1976, by 1990, The Fall had been through 18 line ups, releasing 14 albums and 24 singles - The only constant was leader, vocalist Mark Edward Smith - welded to the work ethic, creating music that stunned in it's obscure brilliance; railing against mediocrity, flailing against the status quo. It was all change when The Fall signed to Fontana. Guitarist Martin Bramah, who had founded the group with Smith, returned, replacing Smith's ex- wife Brix, who had been in the group since 1983. There were few cries of sell-out, however, when The Fall signed to a major; it was just part of an evolutionary process. The three Fontana albums, Extricate, Shift- Work and Code: Selfish were stunningly consistent. With Martin Bramah and keyboard player Marcia Schofield dismissed from the band, The Fall worked as a four- piece (Craig Scanlon, guitar; Steve Hanley, bass; Simon 'Funky Si' Wolstencroft on drums) for the first time in the group's career. Shift- Work from April 1991 is another commercial Fall high- water mark; it contains Idiot Joy Showland, Smith's rant against bandwagon- jumping Madchester bands (\"The shapeless kecks flapping up a storm, look at what they are: a pack of worms. \"), the one- time album title track, The War Against Intelligence, and the bucolic Edinburgh Man, a love letter to Mark E. Smith's then- adopted home city. This re- issue faithfully replicates the original 1991 Fontana Records UK release and is pressed onto high quality 180gm vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSo What About It\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Idiot Joy Showland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Edinburgh Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pittsville Direkt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Book of Lies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The War Against Intelligence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Shift- Work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You Haven't Found It Yet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Mixer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Lot of Wind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sinister Waltz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45005499203805,"sku":"805520240031","price":2997000.0,"currency_code":"LBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4228575-3014257.jpg?v=1727246304","url":"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/en-lb\/products\/the-fall-shift-work-180gm-vinyl","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
