The Fall released a lot of great albums over their many years, and among those stands Bend Sinister. It's no surprise then that the band's 1986 effort is getting an expanded reissue.
The re-release will come via Beggars Arkive and arrive on March 15. The entire album has been remastered from the analogue tapes, and the reissue will be presented as both a double-LP set, as well as an even larger 2-CD version.
The bonus material added to the reissue includes various B-sides, Peel Session cuts, live tracks and more. If you spring for the CD version, you'll get six added tracks that are previously unreleased.
A press release describes the album like this:
After the universal acclaim for the previous year's This Nation's Saving Grace, Bend Sinister often stands in its predecessor's shadow. It is a dark, brooding album made at the height of the group's Beggars Banquet years and many people include this at the top of the list of favorite Fall albums.
Down below, you can see the tracklists for the vinyl and CD versions. Below that, you'll find the video for album highlight "Mr. Pharmacist." You can pre-order the reissue here.
As previously reported, Fall frontman Mark E. Smith passed away last year at the age of 60.
