The album marked the first time in the history of The Fall that the group released three consecutive studio albums recorded with the same line-up!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album was produced by Mark E. Smith and the Fall's frequent collaborator and former bass guitarist Simon Archer. In his notes for the album, Smith wrote that \"brighter mixes and versions existed but these were dismissed because brightness does not fit with 'Ersatz GB'!\" This set contains the album, single B-side and two exclusive live shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set as with the other Fall reissues has been compiled in conjunction with Fall Expert Conway Patton and has notes by Fall guru Daryl Easlea and have been mastered by long-time engineer Andy Pearce with art by Becky Stewart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fall were an English post-punk band, formed in Manchester in 1976. The band was essentially built around its founder and only constant member Mark E. Smith.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInitially associated with the punk movement of the late 1970s, the group's music has gone through several stylistic changes over the years, but was often characterised by an abrasive guitar-driven sound and frequent use of repetition, always underpinned by Smith's distinctive vocals and often cryptic lyrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe band were noted for their prolific output with over 25 studio albums, and more than triple that counting live albums and other releases. They never achieved widespread public success beyond a handful of minor hit singles in the late 1980s, but maintained a strong cult following. The band were long associated with BBC disc jockey John Peel, who championed them from early on in their career and cited The Fall as his favourite band, famously explaining, \"They are always different; they are always the same.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDISC ONE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eErsatz GB\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1  Cosmos 7\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2  Taking Off\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3  Nate Will Not Return\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4  Mask Search\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5  Greenway\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6  Happi Song\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7  Monocard\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8  Laptop Dog\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9  I've Seen Them Come\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e10  Age Of Chang\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBONUS TRACK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e11  Cosmos 7 - B-Side\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDISC TWO\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Lowry - Manchester 23\/09\/2012\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1  Irish\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2  Nate Will Not Return\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3  Chino\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4  Strychnine\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5  I've Been Duped\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6  Sir William Wray\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7  Cowboy George\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8  Bury Pts. 1 + 3\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9  Latch Key Kid\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e10  Hittite Man\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e11  Container Drivers\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e12  Wolf Kidult Man\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e13  White Lightning\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e14  Reformation!\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDISC THREE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLive @ Brudenell Social Club Leeds 30th November 2012\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1  Intro\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2  Irish\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3  Hot Cake\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4  Gray\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5  Cowboy George\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6  Bury\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7  Strychnine\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8  Hitman\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9  I've Been Duped\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e10  Cosmos 7\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e11  Spider\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e12  China\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e13  Container Drivers\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e14  Weather Report 2\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e15  Blindness\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e16  Psykick Dancehall\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e17  Reformation\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e18  Theme From Sparta FC\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"CHERRY RED","offers":[{"title":"3CD","offer_id":52959323390269,"sku":"CRCD3BOX216","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0096\/1884\/9839\/files\/crcd3box216_-_the_fall_-_5013929121683.webp?v=1788364166","url":"https:\/\/sisterray.co.uk\/products\/ersatz-gb-expanded","provider":"Sister Ray","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
