The Fall - Mark E Smith's Personal Holiday Tony Tapes (Orange Vinyl)

Limited 180gm orange colored vinyl LP pressing. A mixture of live and studio out-takes that have never been out on vinyl before! "About five or six years ago Mark E Smith and I were going through some old audio recordings of The Fall both in the studio and live and he invented a character called Holiday Tony who he said should be the person who should come round and listen to the tapes with us," explains Chris Hewitt. "He made a phone call to me telling me Holiday Tony lived in Prestwich and went to Blackpool on his holidays once a year with an old brown suitcase with recordings of The Fall inside. I even got a letter off Mark telling me when it was OK for Holiday Tony to go round and see him. Another idea of Mark's about three years ago was to do a vinyl and that every track should just be called The Holiday Tony Tapes.
