The Fall - Seminal Live [2025 Remaster]
This product is available on Pre-order.
Beggars Arkive are happy to announce a reissue of The Fall’s 1989 half-studio/half-live album, Seminal Live. Available on yellow vinyl and digitally, the album has been remastered by Kevin Vanbergen. This edition features reimagined artwork, new sleeve notes and a QR code linking to exclusive bonus assets.
Released by Beggars Banquet in June 1989, Seminal Live was the first of many live and semi-live albums across The Fall’s catalogue. Its release marks the end of the band’s prolific Beggars Banquet era (1984-1989). The albums that preceded Seminal Live via Beggars Banquet - The Wonderful and Frightening World Of, This Nation’s Saving Grace, Bend Sinister, The Frenz Experiment and I Am Kurious Oranj are all considered pillars of the band’s extensive catalogue.
The studio recordings on Seminal Live were all new songs and make up the first side of the album. The live recordings on side two, meanwhile, are all versions of previously-released tracks. Songs on Seminal Live are now considered Fall classics. Side one contains “Dead Beat Descendant”, and their cover of Lonnie Irving’s “Pinball Machine” is in the well-worn tradition of The Fall’s country covers.
