About this item

The Unutterable was originally released in 2000 and was the band's 21st studio album.

This double vinyl re-issue is released to mark the 25th anniversary of an acclaimed Fall classic and accompanies an extended 4CD box set.

Formed in Manchester in 1976 and built around its founder and only constant member Mark E. Smith the band existed in some form or other (with numerous line-up changes) until Smith’s death in 2018. Initially associated with the punk movement of the late 1970s, the group's music has gone through several stylistic changes over the years, but is often characterised by an abrasive guitar-driven sound and frequent use of repetition, and is always underpinned by Smith's distinctive vocals and often cryptic lyrics.

The band were long associated with John Peel, who championed them from early on in their career and cited The Fall as his favorite band, famously explaining, "They are always different; they are always the same."
