PRE-ORDER - EXPECTED 1st APRIL '21
PRE-ORDER COPIES WILL RECEIVE A FREE 'REPETITION' POSTER BY PAUL WILSON (WHILE STOCKS LAST.)* See second image for the poster design.
A definitive insight into the ever-influential world of Mark E. Smith and the Fall, featuring never-before published essays and ephemera from fans, collectors and the artist and band themselves.
This is not a book about a rock band. This is not even a book about Mark E Smith. This is a book about The Fall group - or more precisely, their world.
Over a prolific forty-year career, the Fall created a world that was influential, idiosyncratic and fiercely original; it was an education. Who wouldn't want to be armed with a working knowledge of M.R. James, contemporary dance and Manchester City?
Bringing together previously unseen artwork, rare ephemera and handwritten material, alongside essays by a slate of fans, EXCAVATE! is a vivid, definitive record - an illumination of the dark corners of the Fall's wonderful and fright- ening world.
'To 50,000 Fall Fans: please buy this inspired & inspiring, profound & pro- vocative, beautiful & bonkers Book of Revelations, choc-stock-full of loving Acts by true Apostles, simultaneously both the scrapbook you wished you'd kept and a portal to futures & pasts, known & unknown, & a Fantastic Celeb- ration of this Nation's Saving Grace.'
DAVID PEACE
